Fodor's Expert Review La Bettola

A quite subdued place, La Bettola has walls with wooden shelves full of Sicilian wine, white linen tablecloths, elegant cutlery, and service imbued with the ease of tradition. The focus, inevitably, is on fish, with seafood pasta and fish mains, several featuring the red prawns for which Mazara is known throughout Italy. It is largely frequented by locals although in the summer, travelers are attracted to the outdoor terrace.
