The fish was so fresh! The owner helped us pick a few dishes and we shared everything family-style. Perfect for a casual dinner with friends. The vibe was relaxed, not too loud for catching up.

Nice little family place off the main road. The veranda view is pretty good.

Without doubt one of the best dining experiences we&rsquo;ve had anywhere in the world! The staff were impeccable, engaging, super friendly and masters of their craft. The food was faultless, the wine outstanding and the ambience was perfect. And the amazing view helped to ensure that the memory of the night will last a lifetime. Thank you to the entire team at Otto Geleng!

Exceptional venue - beautiful view, service was attentive, friendly and efficient.  Food was well presented and high quality. They were very accommodating of my food intolerances. We also liked the pianist,  we particularly enjoyed dining to the sound of Italian songs

Perfect spot for an aperitivo. The lights strung through the trees made it feel magical as the sun went down. The spritz was crisp, and the cicchetti were just right for sharing. A lovely way to start the evening.

The focaccia here is a local legend. Perfect for grabbing a quick bite with friends before heading out. 🍞

Food was impeccably cooked and presented.  The entire experience was fantastic.  We also choose the Tour of Sicily wine experience which did not disappoint.  Usually a restaurant has some &quot;misses&quot; in the course of a meal- Fusion did not.  Twice the meal as Belmond&#39;s Timeo and a better value.  Location superb and the waitstaff was very attentive.

The swordfish Messina style was recommended and it was so fresh! Really enjoyed the quality of the ingredients.

I highly recommend trying the tasting menu at Osteria Zero. It allows you to experience a variety of exquisite flavors, and the seasonal changes in the menu ensure there&#39;s always something new to enjoy.

The complimentary taralli and olive oil were a nice touch. Main course was well prepared, but the appetizer portion felt a bit small for the price.

We came by Gallodoro tired &amp; hungry from travelling from UK. The location &amp; terrace views mainly drew us in but we enjoyed the meal so much we returned last night. The food is locally sourced &amp; made on premises-the pizza was the best we&rsquo;ve had anywhere. The Parma ham &amp; melon sweet &amp; salty. The lasagne so tasty. The affogato a sweet but light end to the meal. Truly delicious &amp; the personal service, background music &amp; terrace with views are a tourist&rsquo;s dream. Reasonable prices for the tourist area. 10/10!!

The pizza was tasty and the Aperol Spritz was strong, which I appreciate. But for the price, the portion size could&#39;ve been a bit more generous.

Stopped for lunch and got the paccheri alla ghiotta. Portion was huge, honestly. I couldn&#39;t finish it all. The place itself was nice and cool, tables were comfortable.

A real trattoria, feels like you&#39;re in Calabria. The owner is so kind, he explained the pasta dish to us. It was simple but the flavors were spot on.

Came back for the grilled ribs again. They&#39;re fall-off-the-bone tender with this smoky, slightly sweet glaze. Just the right amount of char on the edges. That&#39;s the dish I keep telling my friends about.

The grilled fish was just right, and the lobster pasta really stood out. What I appreciated most was how comfortable the seating was&mdash;spaced out nicely so you&#39;re not on top of other tables. Made for a very relaxed dinner.

Been coming here for years, and the pizza&#39;s always been consistently good. They&#39;ve got a ton of different toppings to choose from, which keeps things interesting. It&#39;s a reliable, no-fuss place that doesn&#39;t break the bank.

Easy to get to, just off the highway. The booths are really comfortable, which is a big plus for me. Had a simple pasta dish, it was just right for a quiet lunch. Service was friendly and efficient.

A historic spot in the center. The pizza dough is light, and their house red was a perfect match for it.

The almond and lemon granita was really nice, a perfect light finish. The brioche was decent, but the real highlight was how comfortable the seating was. Plenty of space, and the service was so friendly and attentive. Made for a very relaxed meal.

Staff&#39;s always friendly. Gaetano, the owner and lifeguard, was super welcoming and helpful today. Just a nice vibe.

Cozy spot with a rustic vibe. The garden area is lovely, perfect for a sunny afternoon. Had the truffle pasta there last week&mdash;creamy and rich, just the right portion. A bit on the pricier side, but the setting made it worth it. Would go back for that dish alone.
