Fodor's Review:

Pippo Anastasio, one of the true personalities of Sicilian cooking, has created one of the most modern restaurants on the island. Here pesce spada (swordfish) reaches its loftiest heights, served simply marinated with olive oil, lemon, herb butter, and toast; meanwhile, Pippo's flights of fancy include astice (lobster) tortellini with cherry tomatoes, bottarga (cured tuna roe), and hot pepper. Dark wood contrasts with recessed lighting and stylized wall panels to create a design fusion that echoes the creativity of the menu. The suburban restaurant is an easy taxi ride from the center.
