Da Umberto

Bright, noisy, and popular place for locals and tourists. Food is fresh and local, but the preparation and presentation is more suited for a food hall than a taverna. Cheap eats at best. Rapid fire service with plastic glasses for water. That being said, the restaurant has an EXCELLENT selection of Sicilian wines. A go to place if you are looking for some of the better examples of what Sicily has to offer.

A tourist trap not worth the money and really poor quality. I've seen other tourist traps but at least there was some decent quality. Not here. I did not read recommamdations like a generally do, and fell for it. Be wise and don't do the same. Even it looks authentic, read some reviews upfront. I did this after leaving. Really small portions and quite rip off. What you see in the picture and 2 other small plates with 3 small fish rolls and 3 pieces of cheese were 40 euros. The eggplant stew cold, fish meatballs cold as ice. Imagine the greasy fried onion and fish cold. You can just see it in the picture. Fish rolls, cold. The only hot things were the arrancina which were done on the spot. Please do yourself a favor and avoid.

I see the rate is already quite low for the restaurant on Google. Well, I wouldn't expect that much for the food quality for the very first eatery appearing in the a bit touristic market. The food was not great but okay. The stuffed squid was salty and greasy. And the vongole pasta was a bit undercooked but at least not salty. The caponata was not so fresh and some part was bitter. However, it was acceptable if it were considered as an experience of a local market, and it was cheap. For three dishes, bread, and water, it was only EUR 21.

Hmmm!! Street fishing. Nice location in a typical Sicilian narrowed street where either the owner or a employee start to invite you to the restaurant. (Always the same monolog)He was very nice and very kind, promised us free drinks which we never got. Seafood was very tasty but the chef has to learn how to cook al dente pasta. Our pasta was uncooked. Uncooked pasta in Sicily for me is a bit weird. I am giving 3 starts because of the pasta and promised drinks to make you sit down which you’ll never get. Location is super fantastic and it is worth a visit! Thanks for the hospitality.

Good food but be weary of the price. For 4 we paid 90€, which if you look at the food and the service (plastic plates) is largely overinflated and takes advantage of the tourists. The food was good but also nothing to brag about. The spot is very noisy and to be honest it's part of the fun but that does not mean that you can overcharge clients.

The food was ok. It wasn’t as expected from the first place but if you are hungry and you need something to eat, it’s ok to go there. We were waiting for quite a long time for our food. On the other hand, staff are quite cheerful.

Waiter was funny but not listening to our order and brought things we didn't want. Many dishes on the menu were not available (everything which comes from the oven). They made a story of being a family restaurant with long history but seems like a typical fake. Food was really bad, oily, expensive and some of it was not what we ordered. Receipt was handwritten and higher than it should be. There credit card machine was surprisingly not working. Toilets were super dirty. We made the best out of it but please DONT GO there, your stomach and purse will be happy about it.

Looked to be a cool spot to sit at and enjoy some local food. We got 3 small dishes, 2 of which were arranchini, and then some roasted veg, and 2 aperols - it came to a whopping 42 euros… so pretty sure they saw an opportunity to take advantage of some young tourists. Not happy at all about it , and pretty rude stay when we did question the ridiculous price tag. Don’t recommend
