Ristorante Osteria Cappellino

nice place and friendly staff but already from the starter we were all disappointed... portions counted in detail and luckily a friend ordered a gluten-free starter which was a little more abundant in fact we ate thanks to her... anyway in the end we paid an amount and went to get a pizza, what a disappointment

We arrived at this restaurant at the suggestion of a friend from Sciacca who assured us that we would eat plenty of fish for €20/25 per person. We arrived full of expectations. The summer location is very suggestive and the staff knows how to do their job well with tourists. What I believe is the owner or manager of the restaurant came to take our orders and without a menu where we could choose also based on the prices he offered us 4 appetizers to taste the local specialties consisting of a potato croquette, a mini arancina, a dessert dish of couscous with an indefinite flavour, a bread ball with sardines, a small plate of sweet and sour local fish, oh I forgot, a mini bruschettina of tomatoes and a piece of swordfish on top. This starter, nothing special, cost us €12 per person. Followed by a small plate of gluten-free pasta with red and pink prawns which my son described as nothing special. And then 3 second courses, 2 fried squid and shrimp and a Palermo-style squid, good but... I've eaten much better in my life. 2 bottles of water 2 glasses of wine a local dessert divided into 4. All for €140 considering what we ate and the place where we were, the bill seemed very inflated and promptly a rip-off for tourists. I wonder why certain restaurateurs are still open and why in 2021 we still find ourselves charging different prices for local people and tourists. It's a shame
