Volcano House Etna - Nicolosi

I was last year at my little daughter in this beautiful place, in summer we ordered pasta and a desert. I and my daughter loved it so much. we consider cooking for this delicious Sicilian cuisine. we also visited the museum of etna, my daughter. we could never imagine a museum and restaurant in another restaurant in Italy. the location was also very comfortable. I recommend it to many my friends who visited Sicily.

The place is beautiful and the environment is very original. the food was good, but that was unacceptable. we arrived at 21.00 a.m. and our pizzas were finally served at 22.20 a.m. after we had asked for them twice. we had two hungry children who had all the experience. a pain.

We visited twice, the afternoon for the museum and then the next day for dinner. the museum is great, this review is for the restaurant. we went to dinner. the first cure was excellent, especially the sharing antipasti with arancini, roasted paprika and...caponata not a great choice of weep, but we really enjoyed the one we selected. I thought we wanted to make a 5* experience. unfortunately the most important courses were loaded with salt. a bark shell had coated the slices with salt, even scraping was not enough. the pizzas and pasta were the same. the pizza seemed over boiled and the basic was hard to cut. Maybe we visited a bad night.

This is great place to learn about the science, history and environmental impact of Mount Etna. The restaurant has a warm and friendly atmosphere, is integrated into the seminar space, and offers a fantastic lunch. Daniello, the sous chef, used to work in London's Best...Restaurant of the Year (2016) and guided us through the menu and the excellent list of wines. The service was personal and attentive. We would strongly recommend a visit! Cheers.

Enter the Volcano House restaurant area and you will have the opportunity of looking at a scale 3D model of Mount Etna and its surroundings. If you are lucky the owner will introduce you to the intimacies of the volcano, how it was borne, how...it moves over the millennia, how fertile its hill-slopes are and how the residents of the area relate to this mountain which has been blessing the area with plentiful richness, although from time to time it claims also some toll. Food at the restaurant is very fine. Pizzas are huge and delicious. If you you are looking for the first time experience and you are new to the Island, ask for a orange salad, and you will be surprised how good it tastes.
