Fodor's Expert Review Il Timone da Enzo
This family-run fish restaurant shaped like a fishing boat was made famous by its frequent appearances in the Inspector Montalbano novels. There is a daily fixed menu (€30) comprising mixed Sicilian antipasti, three "tastes" of pasta, and then a choice among deep-fried calamari, roast prawns, or grilled seabass or bream. Desserts usually include cannoli, gelato a pezzo (an old-fashioned slice of ricotta, pistachio, and chocolate ice cream), and lemon granita. Across the road, a paper mâché figure of Camilleri has been placed at a desk, ready for selfies.
