Food was all very nice however the prices and portion sizes are abysmal. A side salad consisted of 3 olives and about 10 leaves of rocket. 25€ for about 4 bites of fish. I’ve never left a restaurant hungrier and 50€ poorer than when I entered. Ordering a piece of fish literally means a piece of small fish, no side dishes or embellishments. Very disappointing.

We have never felt less welcome in Sicily. We didn't have a reservation, but there was only one table occupied when we arrived and at least five were still available when we left, yet the waiter acted as if it was a nuisance to seat us. We weren't even offered the wine menu, so we drank just water. Our question for a fish recommendation was met with a shrug and "get what you want". Ok, we don't speak much Italian, but elsewhere on the entire island that didn't matter much. The food was ok, but that only goes to show that's only half of the experience. The only female waiter was much nicer than the men, but we felt relieved after we left and somehow I don't think that's what a restaurant should manage. I wish we had taken our business elsewhere.

Such an incredible experience, one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. The restaurant has a wonderful view on the port of sciacca, and is just amazing to enjoy the sunset. Very welcoming staff, at the attention to every single detail, very gentle and always checking if everything’s good. The menu is very rich, if you’re a fish lover that’ll be your paradise. All food was so fresh and soooooo delicious, starting from appetizers (antipasti) to secondi. We took an antipasti of raw fish that is just amazing. We took a lobsters pasta with cherry tomato, the mixture is wonderful. We also took grilled fish, the waiter takes you to choose the fish you want then weights it, lobsters were still alive and fish smells so good since it’s so fresh. Everything was sooo delicious, we enjoyed a lot, they give you just the right quantity of everything so that you enjoy it. Prices are so fair for how good and fresh the food is, but also for a high quality service. If you’re around, you must go to this restaurant. I would suggest that you make an early reservation because it’s always fully booked.

Great starter of fresh marinated sea food. However, after that it went down hill quickly with very average sea food pasta and risotto containing old and dry shrimp and mussels. Also the waiters tried to serve our next course twice while we were still eating and advised us a very disappointing white wine. Only recommended because of the lovely view.

This was fantastic place. Beautiful table overlooking there terrace and the marina, fine dining room, great menu and wine list, with impeccable service. One of the best places so far on our trip

We originally tried to go to Lampara restaurant as it was the first restaurant we saw but were shunned away as they were busy? Luckily from there balcony we saw another restaurant which was Porto San Paolo & headed towards it, when we arrived we approached some stairs &!went up, the restaurant was very busy, we were greeted by a friendly woman, table for 2 we said yes & was given a table overlooking the port, we were was that the kitchen was closing early that day as it was public holiday which wasn’t a problem for us, the food arrived in a good time we were given freshly made gressini was beautiful to tame our hunger, I had a traditional siciliano pasta with swordfish & basil pesto which was amazing. Overall the food was great the restaurant staff were friendly the views were amazing, I will definitely be back.

Came with two small kids for dinner at 7 - staff was very helpful although we made a mess... food was excellent, especially the fettuccine with lobster. spectacular view on the sea and the harbor.

Pro: - The location in the port is nice, especially if you can book a table on the terrace - Food was good, the fish fresh and the menu small which we appreciated Con: - terrible service. Very unattentive maitre d’, borderline rude when he ignored our goodbye, took him 10 minutes to collect our check even though he was standing in the room doing nothing. Just not professional or friendly at all. The waitress who also served us was nice though, but the other staff not so great.

Over priced for mediocre food. Service awful. Don't bother!

Nice place, nice view, good service, good food.

We stayed in the Sciacca area for vacation recently and our hotel butler advised us that Porto San Paola was a great spot nearby that many locals would eat at for a consistently good dining and servicing experience. They made us a reservation same day for dinner and we arrived promptly at our dining time and were seated immediately at a table overlooking the water and city. The views are purely stunning for sunset! The servers were all so nice and I believe it's a small family owned establishment, and I think the owners were also waiting on us at some point during the meal. All of the restaurant employees were so nice, welcoming, and offered to answer any questions we had on the menu. We started with a bottle of white wine and it was amazing! I think most wines of their menu were less than 25 euros a bottle. They also provided us with a basket of bread to start complimentary as well. We started with Panelle to start as an appetizer (little chickpea fritters, they were amazing! 5 euros for I believe they were 5 fritters). We also ordered the Busiate alla Norma (13 euros, this was the best and freshest pasta you could imagine, truly amazing and they split it for us in the kitchen and was plenty big for two people to share). For entrees, we both ordered the Filetto di pesce fresco (fresh fish filet, 20 euros), and included a few small vegetables as well. We also ended with a Canolli for desert, and OMG it was the best cannoli I've ever had. I believe it was 3 euros and the flavor was out of this world. We split the cannoli in two, but I think I could have eaten two of them just myself! I really felt like we were eating in a Michelin starred restaurant, the food quality and preparation were amazing, along with the service was very white glove as well. If you're in the Sciacca area, definitely give them a try!

This restaurant has the best view and the food is also really good! I had the fried sea bass with vegetables and it was delicious. Service was excellent! Quite the walk down and up again from the city but well worth it! Recommend this restaurant!

Great fish & seafood lunch, fresh & well done, kind & many staff, clean toilets, view to marina from the top!

Great food ,very fresh if you like masses of table service it's great.
