"Ambrosia is a restaurant I discovered for the first time this year and I asked myself: how did I not come before? The place is located in Astasi, a district of the village, perched at the end of a steep climb; it is easy enough to find it also because it is well indicated and however if you turn right before the madonnina you can not miss: In winter it has a room with some tables, but in summer I can imagine that taking advantage of the beautiful terrace overlooking the sea, alone a great reason to return to the warm period! To welcome you will find a waiter in a jacket and tie, a little young perhaps for the dress but very kind and professional, and the chef himself who is available to illustrate directly his delicious dishes. For lunch we go directly to the meat tasting menu, which offers tastings of two appetizers, two first, a second and dessert, all at the discretion of the chef even if he shares the choice with us especially of the first... Waiting for us already offers fresh ricotta with pear mustard, very good! The appetizers arrive, the cold ones are slices of roast balsamic vinegar while the hot stink cubes with a delicious sauce; as before proposes pennoni with a seghetto of meat and black truffle and then cutlini with duck ragù, both very good! Second, I think you get to the excellent with cheek on the bed of a crisp crack at the pores: the meat is very tender, it melts in the mouth! But to be a Sicilian restaurant worthy of this name, it can not miss a dessert at the height, which in fact does not disappoint: a nuage, that is cloud, of ricotta with orange flows and reduction of fig of india and I tell you only: Wow! You can admire it in the photo, because it deserves to be immortalized. So a refined restaurant, with modern revisitation of traditional dishes, all based on meat, with fresh local ingredients and cooked very well! The portions of the tasting menu are contained compared to the classic Sicilian restaurant, but only for the number of dishes and allow you to arrive at the end of the menu having tasted and tasted everything and anyway sazi and satisfied! Also the price is right, 30 euros per person (except drinks I assure you that it is worth everything and I will definitely return! P.s. if you are fish lovers you will have to book it a few days in advance and the chef will prepare you as fresh as it was fished. ."
