Il pesce azzurro osteria

Sicily #12, Ortigia #1, Italian #5, Seafood #2 (guest post by my partner): our Airbnb host recommended this as a solid seafood place. We ordered the anchovy appetizer to share, and I ordered the uni pasta. The uni pasta was really good, but the anchovy app may have even been better. The waiter/owner who served us was super nice, and we really enjoyed the vibe outside. If we sat/ate inside, I'm not sure if we would have appreciate the ambiance as much. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, we were a little disappointed with this restaurant. We were so impressed with the reviews left for this restaurant that we decided to choose it as our lunch spot. Perhaps we were just unlucky. Unfortunately, there was only one serving staff. A very nice young lady waitress tried very hard, but she was only one. Because of this there were absolutely a few mistakes, for example we were given the wrong final bill. The food was quite good, especially the mussels and squid, but the portions were very small. The swordfish steak, and the grilled assorted fish made us look sad. I wish this restaurant success and for the cook not to shout at the service staff in front of the guests.

This was probably the best place we tried during our days in Sicily. AMAZING fresh fish and AMAZING service. Thank you for gifting us with such a memorable experience!

True gem in the old part of the city. Exquisite food, delicious, beautiful, very fresh! We were trying to find a fish cous cous alla trapanese, and what a delight was it to find it here! Best cous cous after which we won’t take any other just not to spoil this wonderful impression. Making it better is simply impossible, a taste experience to remember forever. Wine was great, glasses of the most generous size. Very friendly, sweet and attentive personal who made us feel the most welcomed. Thank you so much, what a pleasure it was!

This restaurant was recommended to us by a nice local man on the beach so we went for lunch. The food was excellent even if they are a bit heavy handed on the oil in the pasta/gnocchi dishes. The gamberi antipasti was especially good and very fresh. Great authentic spot!

Yummy seafood dishes with a nice texture and umami flavors. The pasta was well cooked and chewy. It could be a bit salty or spicy for some people but it was tasty for me; it had a lot of umami taste, which reminded me of Korean noodles (너구리). The steamed octopus in a tomato-based sauce was very soft and also had umami flavors, which made me want to mix the sauce with steamed rice, similar to one of the Korean dishes, marinated squid (오징어덮밥). The price was reasonable.

Great food. Service and atmosphere delightful. The vest veal steak I've ever had here in Sicily.

The best see food. Fresh, with taste and normal price. Ms Magda is a really nice waitress!
