A restaurant in the heart of the historic center of Agrigento with a distinct identity and a great variety of traditional dishes, rich in tastes and colors. A must try is is the Spada and eggplant cream mezze maniche, in which you can appreciate the eggplant cream long and sophisticated preparation. Great experience, highly recommended.

Aguglia Persa in Agrigento is an absolute gem — refined yet wonderfully down to earth. Every dish was a masterpiece of Sicilian tradition with a modern, elegant touch. The Aggiuppateddi fish soup with wild fennel was deeply flavorful and perfectly balanced, while the grilled mackerel on wood coals captured the essence of the sea in its purest form. The sarde beccafico with candied orange peels was simply phenomenal — delicate, fragrant, and unforgettable. The white wine made from Nero d’Avola black grapes was a true revelation, pairing beautifully with the entire meal. Desserts were also outstanding — refined, creative, and the perfect ending to an extraordinary dinner. This restaurant captures the soul of Sicily — authenticity elevated with impeccable taste and heartfelt hospitality. Without question, the best dining experience I’ve had in years. A must-visit for any true food lover.

Great location for intimate dinner under the sky, surrounded by green. A good place to get a bit of quiet in the city. The food is outstanding, especially the starters. A really nice setting to eat out at.

We dropped in for a late lunch so we were able to get a seat without reservations. The staff was welcoming and made a few suggestions for us which we enjoyed. We ate inside due to the season and enjoyed the atmosphere very much.

Nice food in a nice garden. The service was good. They mixed some tables so we had the amuse bouche twice. And we enjoyed it. Regarding the other dishes: The BBQ parmigiana was great, a bit Smokey but nice. Also the swordfish was excellent, although it was a bit boring compared to the other dishes. I can absolutely recommend the Riso al Forno. But, disappointingly, the espresso was cold when it arrived, so for the coffee: only okay-ish. Still, I’d come back any time I’m around.

This restaurant is a real gem! Wonderful food, great service, in a beautiful courtyard. One of the best meals we had during our trip to Puglia and Sicily. It was so delicious that we already booked it again. It will be our farewell from this beautiful region. If you don’t speak italian, use google translate and go for the dessert that has apple cubes. It’s the best dessert you will find anywhere!!!

I've visited twice recently and fallen head over heels. The panino siciliano antipasto is a must - so good I ordered it both times, as well as my partner with the tartare di manzo affumicata. The spaghetti d'estate was perfection, the fresh, artisanal pasta truly shines. During my second visit I opt for the codone di manzo; while it would've been even better warmer, it was still delicious. And don't skip dessert! The sfogliatina alla mele strikes the perfect balance of sweetness. This place is a 100% must-try for authentic Sicilian flavors. And probably I'll be back before I come back to London.
