Osteria Al Timone Di Enzo Sacco

Should you be in Porto Empedocle waiting for a ferry to Lampadusa, Pantelleria or someplace else make time to eat here. It's unpretentious with fixed price, no menu and fish that was caught the day you eat it. They have claimed the wide stone steps outside the restaurant as their own and set up tables there. That's where we sat.....and the food started coming almost as soon as we sat down as did the wine, soda, water and bread. Olives and bread were on the table. Appetizers of fresh shrimp and octopus were simply brought to us. We had a choice of three pasta sauces. Tried two and one was more delicious then the other. Typical Sicilian pasta con Sardines and pasta with Sepia. Another choice of three entrees. We chose grilled shrimp and grilled whole fish. This was followed by a light lemon ice. The portions were so generous that we passed on coffee and dessert although they were included in the price. There is indoor seating as well and there might even be an actual menu. I didn't see anyone ordering from a menu. Cost about 20€ per person and it was worth every cent. We were there in the evening and there were families with kids as well as couples on dates.

We chose Sicily mainly because we are huge fan's of Andrea Camilleri. His Inspector Montalbano Novels have made the character the most famous Policeman in Italy. We were thrilled to be able to hire a Driver/Guide for the day(best Four Hundred Euros we have spent for a while) We visited all of the Filming locations and had Lunch at Enzo's. The food was wonderful, best Sea Food ever, great service and a beautiful view over the Sea.

Fresh sea food . Very good service and savoury plates, warm atmosphere. Cheerful and welcoming stuff . Excellent choice to try local food .

Apparente caos. Non so come si fanno, non accettano prenotazioni, quindi ti presenti e ti aspetti. quando sono pronti ti fanno sedere, informalmente, rispettando l'ordine di arrivo, come fanno un mistero. al tavolo tutti i tempi perfetti, forse la qualità non eccelsa ma la gioia l'abbondanza e la disponibilità compensano. Poi il signor sack un'istituzione qu, sapeva che erano napoletani eccitati ricordando il suo passato. Bella serata.

Primo e secondo menu, ammollo e amaro al bene? Dipende! Se sei un fan dei posti fantastici stai lontano. Se amate i luoghi rustici, questo è il posto per voi. La qualità non è grande, il servizio è lento e le norme anti-vish sono un optional ma mangiare in questo posto è una vera esperienza! Un completo casino che mi ha fatto ridere così tanto.
