La Sorpresa

Reviewed By Stevehuddersfield68

Away from the main square you will find this excellent restaurant. We enjoyed it so much we visited twice in our week there. The bruschetta starter is very tasty and was Cooked perfectly so had it again on our second visit . The waitress and the owner ensure everything is ok , explained that as my partner ordered lamb it would take longer which was fine . On our visits we had lamb , veal , chicken and beef rolls all cooked to perfection with fresh veg. The wine menu has a great variety which we took full advantage of along with the desert menu great Irish coffee too. Lovely relaxed atmosphere serving very tasty food . A must if you are in Buggiba

We had the ribs and swordfish- both were great but the ribs were certainly amazing. What stood out the most, however, was the welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service by Milan and the rest of the staff, who also gave my mum a sweet surprise at the end, to celebrate her birthday. Would happily stop by again.

We had a very nice dinner at this small and cosy restaurant. The complimentary bruschetta was a nice touch. I had a delicious seafood risotto and my husband had a gorgeous pasta dish. The wine was slightly more expensive than in some of the other places we visited but was very good.

Reviewed By annb15

This is a fairly small, cosy restaurant with a really nice ambiance. The menu has a large choice of pastas and pizzas and the wine is very reasonably priced. Service was great. I loved the pasta which I chose (Damiano’s special). My husband was slightly less enthusiastic about his lasagne which he found a little dry. He did however say that he would go back to try one of the pizzas which looked fantastic.

We went to this restaurant on a Saturday evening. It’s not far from the square. I got fried tomino boscailo to start which was wrapped in Parma ham on a bed of salad in balsamic vinegar. I didn’t like the cheese however, if you do like this type of cheese it would be a very tasty choice! I then ordered a spaghetti marinara from the specials menu which a seafood love would definitely love! My partner ordered the pesto gnocchi which was gorgeous and the little Italy pizza which was amazingly fresh! It’s worth a try if you like Italian food! The staff were so friendly too!

Trattoria 'a Lanterna is a must if visiting the Bugibba area.The restaurant and outside seating area have an old world charm that make for a great atmosphere. I dined as a party of four and no one was disappointed in the quality of the food that they received. The service from the waiting staff was fantastic! The bread items and olives that we received upon arrival were as delicious as the main meals. A true, quality Italian!Wow!!! Thank you!!

Made in Sud

Reviewed By 08sd0

One of top #3 pizza I've ever had and I'm a pizza enthusiast, serving it around the world.The recipes differ and you might find some them really not on your taste just because you choose the wrong one.Just look carefully and pick the right ingredient for you.The location is appalling. But the staff is fantastic and they don't deserve less than 5* because of that.It could be crowded sometimes, so expect that. And it's off-way, so not really in line with other restaurants which you can easily choose from if this is full.But you should see them really struggling and working hard and you will understand they put their efforts and deserve nothing less than the best from you also.

Lovely pizza (nice and thin and crispy), great location but perhaps a little overpriced. 4 of us ate, and 3 of us had the mexicana pizza - not as spicy as any of us would have liked however - but this did not distract from the quality.
