The Red Lions is owned and operated by Giuseppe and his two sons. I was recommended there by Giuseppe's brother Angelo who operates a fish restaurant in Malta. On this visit to Sicily, we visited Red Lions twice and we enjoyed both visits. This restaurant has received many prizes for its pizza and fully deserves it. The choice is unusual, with many unheard of pizzas which I suppose makes this restaurant unique. Their Pizziaiotti, a double sided pizza is worth having as a starter. I am told what makes a pizza great is its pastry and at Red Lions you won't be disappointed. If you like pizza you must try Red Lions, a strange name I know for a pizzeria in Sicily. Next time I go I must ask about the name.

A'massaria is an informal pizzeria/restaurant located in Augusta, Sicily. The building reminds me of old mills and somehow Mexican frontier buildings. There plenty of free parking space available. Once inside, it's easy to recognize the main features of Sicilian culture, indoor walls use plenty of stone and wood; artifacts decor the inside (chariot, barrels and so on).I went to Sicily for a 3-days trip and my friends brought me to this place. I probably had the best pizza I had the last 10 years. Crust was just delicious and toppings super tasty and really fresh.I had my whole pizza ans still feeling I'd had another one... really amazing!!They offer a variety of both domestic and export beer including local microbreweries beers (I really recommend that). Good place for families and business meetings as well.

After a shaky start where nobody seemed to speak English and we were given the impression that they really didn't care too much anyway, things just got better and better (probably in no small part to the very good waiter who eventually served our table). Food portions were, shall we say, generous in the extreme and very well cooked and presented. Good selection of wines though they did run out of one we were drinking. Just outside of the main town but well worth finding.

I don't normally give out 5's on a review, but this place was stellar. We have been in Sardinia and Sicily for nearly two weeks and this was our best meal yet! The 400+ year old building is lovely, situated on two levels plus an outside courtyard. Service was great but the food....oh my!We started with oysters from Norway, and a snapper carpaccio. Both were outstanding. I have been eating carpaccio and tartare for the last ten days and this hit it out of the park! The oysters were briny and fresh. Then on to a rare as requested grilled steak with mashed potatoes and a herbaceous grilled snapper with mashed potatoes and salad. The fish was grilled perfectly and the herbs conveyed an outstanding flavor to the dish. The dessert of fresh mango and pistachio crema was delightful, and had so much flavor and texture.This is not your typical Sicilian restaurant....it is so different. The flavors are from around the world ( Thai soup, Peruvian fish, tropical mango, lime on the civiche). If we were staying longer in this little town we would go back. But We believe it is worth a diversion to try a dinner here! Nice job!!!

We were staying in Brucoli and looking for a place to eat that didn't just do pizzas. We were directed to this place by a local Sicilain and when we turned up we didn't know what to expect.The female owner spoke excellent English and helped us with the menu, recommending the signature dish of local seasonal fish (it changes with the seasons), and other things too.When the food arrived, my son said his pizza was exellent, my daughter said her pasta was the best ever and my signature fish dish (a plate with about 7 different pieces of fish to try) was one of the best I've EVER had. It was very resonably priced.At the end the owner offered us a complimentary liquer and sorbet for the children, a lovely touch and we left a big tip. I only wish this restaurant was local and we hadn't discovered it on our last night in Sicily otherwise we would definitely go again!

we booked a table for 8 people.. totally unprofessional, half of the menu was not available, octopus salad starter was terrible and had the consistency of plastic, the linguine alle vongole were extremely salty and basically it was impossible to eat them... worst dinner in Sicily

Made a mistake to spend an evening at Augusta but our small dinner at Harley made it worthwhile! Ingredients are as fresh as can be and lots of locals passing by this center of amusement in Augusta.
