    Unless you like mineral water and/or fine wine served you with a great service - do not go there! After reading reviews from Google (bummer) - I decided to stop at Marsala & reserved a place for dinner. this was Afternoon and I already found the place but it was closed for food. Before the dinner, i luckily went on the boardwalk, Archeological museum, parking spots to sea sunset cozily from your car with or without family, a bar/Cafe to sip your favorite drink to see the sunset, discovered beach parking and night food stand for called "Lucky Burger - American Theme" (Panninis are great and a great local hangout very busy joint, by the beach paring lot). Now I came to this place driving from Mazaro del Valle. As I was 'solo' and it was just a casual dinner, I didn't dress up so it sucked when everyone else in the Restaurant staff was dressed up like they're performing in a movie ...they forced order me a mineral water, and then I settled for just a fried seafood platter. It was if they cut a plastic bag open from low class grocery store (cheapest one you can find) and put it right into the boiling oil. There was tiny shrimp (w/o shell), squid, octopus, two types of small pieces of fish and some shelled shrimp. Fish parts are near of the tail and with skin. All smelled and tasted weird, somewhat soapy and without any kind of seasoning. To my surprise, the restaurant was filled with nicely dressed up families of other people who were nice ly dressed up to make it an occasion, where I was not. I quickly asked for a bill and made my way out. It was (0) experience in Sicily ...where later I went to Lucky Burger ...to have a Pannini Sandwich for which the wait was one hour ...but super yummy ! I am still clueless, about the quality of the food I was served there. The mineral water tasted good ...but that was supposed to be! There was nothing good there ... at least for me.

    Very good restaurant right next to the Garibaldi gate in Marsala! The food was great. We had the fish caponata, fried squid and shrimps, fish cous cous, salmon tartar and more (pictures attached) and everything was incredibly fresh. Only downside is you might need some patience since the place is often packed and it might take longer than expected to get a table (call to reserve one). The waiter is very nice though and if you're chilled he might offer you a glass of wine while you wait.

    We were the only people eating here at 7pm on Sunday evening in May but then we English like to eat early. We both had the Gold line fish dish and I have to say it was delicious. We had it with a side order of grilled veg. Waiter was friendly. Just wish he hadn't come straight back in English when I'm trying with my Italian. Must improve my accent!

    Very good seafood restaurant, high quality, very friendly service. While the entire menu is in Italian, a couple of waiters speak very good English and will take the time to translate the menu for you.

  • 5/5 JANET S. 1 year ago on Google
    The management and staff were very friendly and welcoming even though it was nearly closing time. We both ordered a platter of mixed battered prawns, calamari and small white fish. Seafood was really fresh, cooked to perfection and huge portions. The side dish of potato chips was piping hot and not the usual restaurant chips. Small selection of dishes on the menu but you will find something. The wine was perfect for my taste (not too dry) La Marinara is literally at the Porto Garibaldi gate so you might miss it behind the screen around the outdoor seating area. We really enjoyed our lunch. Highly recommend this restaurant.

    We had meant to try for a while and Friday lunch seemed a good opportunity as it is still warm enough to eat outside. A bonus was finding a Scuotto Falanghina on the wine list (one of our favourite producers) My husband had the salmon in pistacchio and I had the Couscous (well it was Friday) both exceptional. Service with a smile, first class produce and a nice atmosphere.
