5 Amazing quick bites! We had the shrimp sandwich, monkfish sandwich and arancini - one with cuttlefish black ink and the other swordfish and ricotta - everything was full of flavour. The staff were extremely friendly too. Definitely recommend.
5 Highly recommended place, the fish panini are exceptional and the staff is very kind and helpful. My boyfriend and I can’t wait to come back next year!
5 We tried the octopus burger, and it was super tasty with fresh ingredients. It’s quite pricey, but the fantastic balance of flavors makes it worth it.
5 Best arancini in Sicily! It’s so tasty, crunchy and delicious! Everything is done freshly and the staff are so friendly and helpful! I highly recommend Santi & Marinai!
5 Everything in the sandwiches was fresh and extremely well balanced. We got the “Polpo crocante” and “Tonno rosso”. Both the polpo and tonno were tender, fresh and cooked to perfection. Very satisfied with our choice.
5 This place is incredible!!!! Forget the overly packed touristy spots down the street. Come here! Make sure you try their frozen lemonade! It was heavenly. The owners were so nice and friendly, made very good recommendations, food came out fast. And it did not disappoint. Only sad I only ate it once since it was a day trip to the island.
