Standard room with mountain view
View of Mt. Etna from our room.
Maccheroni siciliani al ragu di Cinghiale (wild boar ragu)--€12. This was okay.
Monte Sartorius--€12. Tomato, buffalo mozzarella, rocket, porcini mushrooms, bresaola, Parmesan cheese, oregano. This was actually quite good and better than the pasta.
Insalata--€4. Basic lettuce and tomato salad.
Breakfast was included in the room rate. We could choose whatever we wanted from the display case.
