Scala
Scala is a restaurant in Portopalo di Capo Passero, a small coastal town in Sicily. The eatery serves fresh fish and seafood caught locally, with simple dishes like pasta with seafood and raw fish platters.
The restaurant was founded in 2007 by Gabriele Scala with the idea of serving good food made from traditional local products. Since 2013 it has been listed in the Slow Food Osterie d'Italia guide, and received a Michelin listing in 2016 as an affordable eatery.
The name Scala comes from founder Gabriele Scala, who opened the restaurant in 2007. The place reflects the fishing tradition of Portopalo, where visitors can see fishing boats and feel the closeness to the sea.
It is good to arrive a bit early or make a reservation during busy times. After your meal, you can take a walk along the coast or sit on a bench and watch the sea.
The restaurant offers a fixed menu called 'Perseo' that displays a range of seafood and provides a good way to try many flavors in one meal. The cannoli filled with ricotta cheese is often recommended and described by many visitors as one of the best on the island.
