Nice osteria where good Sicilian dishes are served around fish, but also panelle, arancini, local antipasti. Lots of fried fish à la carte, don't miss the frittura mista di pesce : a mix of fried prawns, squid and other fried octopus, a delight! The pasta with squid ink, sardines or pesto and shrimps is also worth the fork. Recipes of authentic accuracy, with a strong taste. The terrace is appreciable but the service is a little long. Come early because the restaurant is very busy.

I recently had the unfortunate experience of dining at Al ferro di Cavallo, and let me tell you, it was an absolute disaster from start to finish. Despite the allure of low prices and supposedly local cuisine(the food was good to be fair!), the abysmal service left me utterly disappointed.

First off, we booked a table at a specific time, only to find ourselves waiting for what felt like an eternity. The waiters seemed to have no regard for our reservation, leaving us standing around like forgotten relics.

When we finally got seated, the ordeal was far from over. The staff's attitude was downright appalling – no smiles, no warmth, just indifference bordering on rudeness. They practically threw our food onto the table, showing zero respect for the patrons.

Speaking of food, it arrived at our table so late that I began to wonder if they were growing the vegetables themselves. By the time it finally appeared, any appetite I had left had withered away like a forgotten houseplant.

To top it all off, as if the universe was conspiring against us, there wasn't even a changing table in the restroom. My partner and I were left to change our baby in the cold, unforgiving outdoors, cursing the day we ever set foot in this establishment.

Adding insult to injury, the staff at Ferro di cavallo didn't even bother to conceal their internal disputes, airing their dirty laundry right in front of the patrons. It was like watching a reality TV show, but instead of drama for entertainment, we were subjected to uncomfortable and unprofessional bickering.

The sight of employees squabbling in plain view of customers was not only cringeworthy but also incredibly off-putting. It created a tense atmosphere that overshadowed any attempt at enjoying the meal.

Save yourself the embarrassment and seek sustenance elsewhere. It's not worth the headache…

Pietanze tipiche siciliane. Cibo molto buono a prezzi onesti. Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo e servizio veloce.

Menù turistico, non è stato granché, ambiente accogliente e simpatici i gestori

Très désagréable, service vraiment nul et au moment de payer les prix on doublé bizarrement.
Tous ça pour manger des plats très gras mal servi et indigeste !

Very slow service, waiting at least 15 minutes just to get a menu after queuing for another 15 minutes. They did provide free sardines whilst waiting at the queue. The food was good but nothing special either.
