A bit on the pricy side, so one to save for special occasions. According to the Michelin guide: "The delicious cuisine is expertly prepared, while the service is attentive and professional." It certainly has been when we have been there.

Sightseeing
The history of this stunning cathedral sums up the history of the the island of Sicily. Originally a Greek temple - you can still see the columns of the temple in the walls. Then becoming a church, only to be converted to a mosque and the back to a church again. The piazza is one of the most beautiful in Italy - to think it was a parking lot until the 80s....
