This was one of the main highlights of my trip in Sicily. The flavors are incredible and the street terrace setting is both beautiful and easy going vibe with a lively atmosphere. Not even accounting for the well balance prices of the site vs its flavour.
The dishes are outstanding. The only downside is that you cannot try them all at once, which means you will want to return again and again. The melanzane tart was full of flavor, perfectly cooked, tender yet with a nice crunch. The octopus salad, though simple, was the freshest and most flavorful I had in Sicily, far above the others I tried. Choosing a highlight between the risotto with raw shrimp and burrata or the ravioli with pistachio sauce is impossible as both were exceptional.
Desserts, however, felt less memorable. The ones I tried were simple and lacked the same quality and local character that made the main dishes so remarkable. Perhaps opting for simpler dessert choices would work better.
Overall, Osteria Expansificio is a must-visit for its outstanding food, vibrant atmosphere and unforgettable flavors.
