Tutte le categorie sono recensite al massimo perché offrono il massimo senza pretendere di essere altro. Assortimento di carne meraviglioso, per ampiezza e qualità. Ho mangiato una polpetta di carne di cavallo eccezionale.

We haven’t had vegetables for the whole trip and this was an absolute saver! Super under rated for the price and quality of the vegetable dishes! We ordered almost everything (around 10 different veggie dishes) for two person and it cost about 20euros including cover charge. The char grilled courgette and aubergine was so delicious!! Highly recommend

There is a local place where you find only local people. A lot of different positions from grill and not only. We found a lot of vegetables what is a big advantage for us. Just show what you want and mix it in the plate price lower than usual. For 2 people (3 separate plates) we paid 28 Euros. Highly recommend!

Il Tenerissimo a Gela è un locale informale specializzato nella carne alla brace e polli allo spiedo. Abbiamo mangiato nell'area esterna del locale dove è possibile seguire le partite di serie A. Gli antipasti erano molto abbondanti, sia le patatine Fritte che le bruschette al pomodoro (il pane era davvero ottimo!) . Essendo una decina di persone abbiamo optato per 2 taglieri di grigliata mista (pollo, vitello, pancetta di maiale, fettina e polpette di cavallo). La qualità della carne c'è sembrata molto buona e ben cucinata. Servizio ok e prezzi nella norma. Noi ci torneremo e lo consigliamo!
