Ristorante Doppio Gusto

Doppio Gusto – Highly Recommended I wholeheartedly recommend Doppio Gusto. During our holiday stay in Milazzo, we managed to visit Doppio Gusto… twice. Both visits were without a reservation, but we still got a table, even if we were told, “we only have an hour” – respect and thanks to the staff for accommodating us. Next time, of course, we’ll remember to book in advance, and I suggest everyone do the same if they want to enjoy the Doppio Gusto experience. The restaurant has been recently renovated, as we were informed by a very friendly waiter, and features a soft, cozy beige décor. The tables for two are the perfect size, though there are also larger ones that seat six. The pleasant patio and outdoor garden with about 50 seats fill up quickly during dinner hours. We found this place thanks to a Michelin guide recommendation, but it’s clearly a favorite among Milazzo locals as well. And now to what we had on our plates: Red tuna tartare with guacamole and caviar – phenomenal, fresh, and delicate flavor of the fish – worth coming back just for this. Grilled octopus served on potato velouté with confit cherry tomatoes – the strong taste of the sea balanced with the creaminess and lightness of the fluffy potato velouté. Stuffed calamari with green beans – simplicity, freshness, and pure flavor always win – and here, they all shine. Argentinian beef sirloin steak with grilled potatoes – I know this isn’t a very local Sicilian dish, but after two weeks of fish and seafood, I was craving a good-quality piece of meat, and it did not disappoint: cooked to perfection (medium rare), juicy, pink, with a red center. Paired with sea salt and thin slices of grilled potatoes – what more could you want? For dessert: frozen pistachio sphere with a raspberry center – the perfect ending to such a dinner, in such a place, on such an evening. Of course, we cannot forget the impressive wine list – this time we went with a chilled, refreshing, citrusy Grillo, perfect for a hot 30°C summer evening. We left delighted, full, and happy. We will definitely be back.

I enjoyed the restaurant. The vibe was more upscale and the place had a pleasant and enjoyable atmosphere. The food was prepared very fresh and each bite was delicious. Sadly, the portion size of my order was smaller than I anticipated, as well as both my dining guests. The price was relevant to the restaurant. Service was very busy and it took a considerable time to get Service. I enjoyed the time but i will take time to venture to other restaurants.

Great Seafood Place. Professional, elegant, gourmet food. Everything was incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. Great selection of Colosi Wines!

Very good food in a nice place near the harbour. Very friendly and capable staff. Strongly recommended.

Hands down, the best in town. Where skills and quality meets you can’t go wrong! Highly recommended!

We wanted to grab a quick lunch before boardg the boat. We had 45 minutes time. The owner refused to serve us or recommed one dish that we can get in that time. We got water for free.

The atmosphere is nice and the food looks good - but that's about it. We ordered sparkling water, but were served still water. I ordered Ravioli, but was served another pasta dish. The waiter didn't bother to ask how we liked the food, and due to language barrier they did not understand our critique. The place wants to be way more than it is, which is average at best.

Great lunch outdoors. Really wonderful food all around. Lovely people. Bravo.

Food and service are great. Nice location at the marina with a covered outdoor terrace. Great wine list

Lovely restaurant with outside seating and views of the marina. They have a good selection of pasta, fish and an option of veal. Almost all items are fish based (obviously for the area). The waitstaff was all very friendly. Everything is in Italian/ Sicilian so English speakers bring your phone to help translate!

Simply amazing restaurant with the best crudo dish! An impeccable wine list with some of the best wines Sicily has to offer.
