"The tuna meatballs, muscles, calamari and sword fish were great"
"Excellent food and staff work very hard, would return & recommend to friends"
"Great place that was able to offer gluten free pasta!"
5 My 3rd time at this restaurant, over these last 15 years, now managed by the young 3rd generation of the same family. Happy about any possible aspect from the service that satisfied my pregnant partner's desire for a better table, on a very busy night, to the quality of food. Prices are not too high either. Kudos!
5 Amazing place with delicious Sicilian food and an authentic atmosphere. I tried the caponata, spaghetti vivo mare, and cannolo — everything was fantastic. The wine was excellent as well.
5 The most incredible food and service in Favignana. The pesce couscous, tuna and carpaccio need a Michelin star. Unbelievable. Service was attentive, even though they are always busy. Highly recommended. Never tasted seafood like this - the passion runs very deep and it is clear in every aspect of their menu and service. Very accomodating to children as well, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. difficult to get a table so please call ahead
5 Great service, amazing food and great vibes! Best pasta I’ve had in a long time. Really really good!
5 Me and my wife visited la Bettola for lunch. We both had a pasta dish of the day. I had the black pasta with fresh seafood and it was extraordinary! My wife was impressed too with her meal. One dish was 16€ which is quite cheap compared to other restaurants on the island. Oh and before we left I tried the pistachio coffee. Just wow! Thank you, we definitely come back!
5 This is the best restaurant we tried in Favignana. The food is incredible. Couldn’t have wished for more.
5 I had the most delicious gluten free pesto pasta and gluten free bread. Hands down the best I’ve ever had! The photo doesn’t do the gluten free busciate justice. The service was also fantastic!
5 We went to La Bettola on the recommendation of our host and it did not disappoint, the fish soup cous cous was delicious, the fish so fresh and soft. Yum!! Lovely kind team and a nice friendly vibe.
