Cotti Al Forno - PORTO EMPEDOCLE

Sweet delicious compliments, I took a lot of pastries, very great place, surely I will return

This place was recommended for our host to breakfast, but we went here to dinner and get amazing delicious wood baked pizza with great filling and good crust ruccola and prosciutto is the best! and it is also an enoteca

Chosen from the outside appearance as looking more promising than some of the others in the town, modern, super counters of pastries. What a disappointment! They appeared to be preparing for a big event so more than half the menu was off and customers were...neglected. No pizzas of their menu), though we were hoping for better. Not much else either, just a choice of two ragus, one named as bolognese, the other fish we had one of each very poor indeed, and VERY slow service. Not given any bread with the meal though the next table were given two lots but the waitress didn't notice or care. No towels in the wc. Plastic throw-away cups for water. No explanations of what actually were available, just a take it or leave it' attitude. We should have left it and gone right away. Sloppy surly service. Very noisy, thoroughly unpleasant overall. Never got to try any of the good looking pastries as a result but won't be going back for another try. Worst meal we had in Sicily, worst in Italy, worst anywhere some years.

This clean and attractive cafe seems to be popular with local folks along the waterfront, and we had a wonderful lunch there on the recommendation of a tour guide from Agrigento. I had a spaghetti with pesto and small shrimp. It was a generous serving...and excellent. The place functions also as a wine bar, and the local wines by the glass are superb. The service is pleasant and helpful; the woman in charge speaks flawless English, but everyone will respond to your Italian as well. We enjoyed it very much.

Friday night and we dropped in to have a meal as we hadn't tried this place...ohhh....how we wished we had gotten here sooner. Outstanding restaurant and food shop combined...brilliant pizzas and pasta and absolutely superb ice cream. The Owner was courteous and explained how she...had wanted to bring some of the NY gastronome food shop restaurant to this part of Sicily ...she did...top marks and really with visiting ...plus... unbelievably fast wifi
