Ristorante L'Antica Sicilia

Perfect. Cheap, delicious, they even have fresh gluten-free pasta (busiate). Excellent service. Impeccable.

The first thing we hear after sitting down is the lady at the next table who gets up disheartened and says "let's get away from this disgusting place". Almost making fun of the words we hear, we order with the best expectations. Starter: a portion of mussels popped in lemon and a tomato salad. As soon as the mussels arrive at the table we immediately notice the nauseating smell that dish gives off. The mussels are completely white and smelly. The tomatoes served to us are limp (as if they were very dated) and are served completely unseasoned (no oil or salt is brought with them). Not even bread is brought to us. Hoping for the sequel (gluten-free busiate with red prawn bottarga and chopped pistachios and normal spaghetti with the same sauce) we were served two dishes in which the pasta was floating in oil. Pasta completely overcooked, full of garlic (even though we had specifically asked for a portion without garlic) and soaked in oil. What surprised us most was the reaction of the manager who didn't even apologize and actually denied everything we told him. After this dramatic and inedible dinner in which we were forced to leave our plates full, paying a bill of €60 for two certainly did not leave us satisfied.
