Dejavu - AVOLA

Not a simple dinner but an experience that involves all tastes: the perfumes, the presentation of dishes, the tastes of tradition but revisited in a modern key, in short a true excellence. From meat to fish to finish with super exceptional desserts. Recommended

Very cozy and beautiful place in what is known by the locals like Piazza Tre Leoni, the most beautiful square in the Hexagon. We took two raw mixed appetizers and baked cod at low temperature) really good. Then linguine with curls and tuna with peppers in the irons. All superlative. He accompanied the whole of a bottle of white Salina from Caravaggio's house. All right.

Delicious, tested Angus, Salmon, crem brulé and coffee all was really good. Stuff also was friendly and professional.

The place is picturesque, mixing popular Sicilian style and modernity, between the external courtyard and the internal furnishings with LEDs. The welcome entrée, if I'm not mistaken, was a sheet of fried rice with pea and anchovy cream, a little salted caramel to prepare the palate for what was to follow. The starter was a couscous based on fish broth with vegetables and seafood, tasty and balanced. Let's move on to the main dishes: busiate with tuna bottarga, prawns, dried tomatoes on pea cream and spaghetti with oyster cream, Avola almond milk, chilli pepper and lemon. The first was perfectly balanced by the flavor of the dried tomato and bottarga and by the sweetness of the pea base; the second was pure poetry. The oysters were one with the almond milk, creating an enveloping and delicate cream, made sparkling by the touch of lemon and slightly spiced by the chilli pepper. Bordering on the ineffable, it is an unforgettable dish that must be tried. We close the dinner with a dessert recommended by the owner, given that the pastry chef spent 6 months in France to study pastry making, and it shows. It was a sort of cheesecake with jam and fig and a crumble with vanilla ice cream: one of the best desserts I've ever tried. The owner is a very professional and nice young guy, willing to satisfy customer requests. The atmosphere created was intimate and convivial and certainly, if we were to return to Avola, Déjà Vu Bar Restaurant will be a guaranteed stop.

All in all it was okay, so the taste was very good, but you have to look at the whole thing in terms of the price-performance ratio. And the evening there was really overpriced, the portions were simply too small. I wouldn't come again.
