Instant confirmation or on request: what actually changes
On the same page, two restaurants can behave in two different ways. The difference isn’t cosmetic: it’s whether the table is yours or not.

Where the listings come from, and why they’re sometimes wrong
No restaurateur asked to be here. That’s why the catalogue is broad, and it’s also why it goes stale.

«All verified»: what it means, and what it doesn’t
Here a review is tied to a meal that took place. It is an inconvenient rule — it shuts a lot of people out — and everything that «all verified» can promise lives inside it.

Eating in Agrigento
Agrigento faces the Sicilian Channel, and its province brings together the coast at Sciacca and the Sicani countryside.
From the sea
Sciacca is one of the island's major fishing ports: from there come sardines, anchovies — salted and in brine — and the oily fish that end up in pasta and omelettes.
The dishes
- Taganu di Aragona — a timbale of pasta, meat, eggs and cheese baked in an earthenware pot that is broken at the table. It is made at Easter;
- Pasta chi masculini and pasta con le sarde;
- Fish couscous, carried over from neighbouring Trapani;
- Cunzatu, bread dressed with tomato, anchovy, oregano and cheese.
From the countryside
Arancia di Ribera DOP, sweet and seedless; Pesca di Bivona IGP, Raffadali pistachios and prickly pears.
The sweets
The sweet cuscusù of the Santo Spirito monastery, with pistachio and chocolate, and mustazzola.
In the glass
Whites from Grillo and Inzolia, and Nero d'Avola from the hill country.
Opening hours and closing days change. The ones on the listings come from public sources and may be out of date. Where a restaurant confirms tables with us, the availability you see is the real one.
