La Nuova Pergola - SANTA VENERINA

One of our first meals in Sicily. We had to have arancini as starters, of course, and no doubt these were decent. But to be honest, they're not that exciting really, are they? We had various pleasant pastas for our main course. I mistakenly had one topped with pistachio; I normally like pistachio but it really only works as ice cream! There was a good selection of desserts, and we mainly had semifreddo, which I enjoyed. All very good value at €100 for five people. Then, unfortunately, one of our party fainted, twice, just before the end of the meal. The response of the restaurant staff in delivering first aid was very prompt and appropriate, and they arranged paramedics very quickly. Fortunately, all was well, but I would like to praise them for that.
