We recommend going in periods such as September and not in the height of summer and booking by telephone by calling insistently as we are often disconnected. We tasted the campisi appetizer and the raw meat and were delighted. Good, fresh fish and captivating combinations. It's a shame about the first one, we went specifically to try the pasta with sea urchins which unfortunately we don't recommend. The pasta was over cooked although the taste was decent. Definitely coming back for the starters.

Tandoori octopus with panzanella (one for two), Lolli che fave (chosen among the first courses for one of the two diners) and Red tuna with mint onion (in the list of second courses, for the other person). Here are the three dishes, delicious and tastefully plated, that truly delighted us at the Campisi restaurant in Marzamemi. Where they found us a table for midday despite having arrived there at the last minute and without booking (we were lucky) and we were welcomed, advised and served with kindness and attention. Truly top restaurant, for our first experience here. Location with spectacular views of the sea and the former tuna factory of Marzamemi, prices that perhaps some might consider high but which are instead perfectly in line with the beautiful and great quality of the proposals. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

After seeing the Campisi store in Marzamemi we were also curious about the restaurant and we booked, we recommend booking early because it is always full.
Waiting to sit at the table Mr Campisi himself, who is stationed there all evening in front of the store to give a look to his customers of the restaurant and shop, came to greet us, apologized for the wait and offered us a prosecco.
Great dinner, quality products and really friendly staff and profession. Evocative location and out of the chaos of the classic famous square of Marzamemi.
We tasted the tris of Tacos (with raw shrimp, octopus and tuna) really good and the appetizer Misto Casa Campisi, very good.
Then we tasted spaghetti with hedgehogs, really good we recommend it. Also good bluefin tuna with mint onion, I would have preferred it cooked a little less to make it less dry, but still the quality could be felt.
Finally the dessert we tasted the cannoli with cream ice cream ricotta and oil, recommended by the waitress... a cannoli waffle of a delicacy and crunchiness like few.
Good wine, we chose Grillo.
Value for money in the norm, considering location, period (days between mid-August) and high quality products. In front of the restaurant there is the Campisi store that offers excellent products and with the possibility of shipping what you buy.
Highly recommended!!!! If we go back to Marzamemi we will come back here too!

We go with friends to the restaurant encouraged by the positive reviews, when ordering we ask if the sea urchins are local, the waiter replies that they come from the Mediterranean, and that it is their flagship dish. We order trusting what is declared. The dishes arrive and the appearance is already unconvincing, at first tasting the rubbery paste is tasteless, but above all the sea urchins have a very bitter taste and a very dark colour, not typical of our sea urchins, we question the dishes and we are told that the sea urchins come from Galicia (not the Mediterranean but the Atlantic or Cantabrian Sea), so they were unclear, despite the complaints we pay the bill in full without taking advantage of any minimum discount, and as soon as we leave the restaurant we see ourselves chased by one of the waiters complaining that we hadn't paid the bill, when the money had been left on the table, an experience to forget, I strongly advise against this place, also because the other dishes weren't that great.

Poor table management: there are only two of us, the turnout orderly but never exaggerated. They did not bring us bread, when we requested it to pass the 40-minute wait between first and second, the waitress almost snorted in going to get it.
We are sitting adjacent to the island where the head of the room and waiters arrange customer management. It was not an oversight but a deliberate wait. Childish and clumsy conduct. Maybe just because at the time of the command we said "no" to having the first one brought along with the mixed fry? Punishment of a puppet equipped with a lupara with pellets of soap bubbles.
Really not recommended.
I wrote even before I paid the bill.
Reckless daredevils try to believe.

The restaurant is very elegant and well served but we were really disappointed with our dishes.
The pasta with the hedgehogs did not have at all the scent that DJ usually characterizes it, as if they were frozen and not fresh. For 26 euros we expected something of quality and instead the broth in those who are served leaves a taste of tomato and not fish. There were many hedgehogs, but they knew nothing.
Also the first of very disappointing tuna tartare, with vegetable cream covering the fish.
Good fried, good wine. Almost ridiculous the twisted cherry tomatoes... if I pay a lot I want them excellent!
The harsh judgment is because after paying over 100 euros in two we are certain not to return despite often we bought at the store tied to the restaurant and we were satisfied.
I suggest restaurateurs raise their game on the raw material (fish ) because as long as I buy excellent glass tuna from them I am happy but the dishes were only worth a third of the price offered.

The location lends itself to a pleasant dinner on the sea, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff are evident and help to live a unique experience that goes directly to the ropes of taste alerting them pleasantly. The kitchen as far as I am concerned, has basic local products of undisputed quality whose preparation is supported by so much expertise and passion. All accompanied by a spectacular plate as well as a detailed presentation of the dish. I strongly Recommendation to cheer up your speech with the dishes proposed by the chef; the memory will remain indelible .......
Sicily is a spectacular land and represents an example of great culture that must be constantly exalted and supported by tourists. As a good Bell I say: " Hurrah Sicily!"

Really a great experience, slightly expensive but absolutely worth the price paid. Dishes with local raw materials but always revisited in an original and refined way, delicious, very kind staff. The two of us still spent 70 euros each eating: plenty of raw seafood, two first courses, a second course, a dessert, water and wine. Congratulations, truly recommended

Superlative in this restaurant nothing is left to chance.
excellent, well-prepared and above all quality dishes. Their tuna was one of the best I've eaten in my life, not to mention the sweet His Majesty the cannoli (my taste buds are still buzzing)! Very welcoming staff in particular, Valeria who she served us, very attentive and courteous. Prices a little high but honestly worth it all (the quality of the raw materials can be felt) simple and very quiet location. Rating 10/10

We went as a couple to this restaurant right on the Marzamemi beach, next to their shop selling typical and fish products, on the evening of September 1st. We had a magnificent house campisi appetizer, which we shared. A first course always shared, of pistachio busiate with delicious pachino tomatoes and bottarga. For the second course, seared tuna with onions and fried cod, both very good, even if you don't feel much flavor in the cod (which I would recommend leaving). To drink a bottle of lupata white wine from the Felice Modica winery in Noto.
The bill was 109 euros for a tasty and very very good dinner.
I highly recommend this restaurant which still offers excellent quality raw materials, all accompanied by courteous and very polite staff, who know how to manage 200 seats at the same time without making any mistakes.

Good dishes but portions too small, especially as regards the main courses and especially if compared to the price. What I really DIDN'T like was the unwillingness to change the pasta format, as I requested, because, according to the waiter, there are no variations on the menu. A plausible justification, except that, in the table next to us, a fish risotto was served when the risotto was not included in any dish on the menu.

We were there on a rainy evening and they canceled our reservation even though we had three children, warning us 10 minutes before the time because, according to them, they had canceled the entire first round of reservations due to the bad weather. After 10 minutes we noticed people sitting in the restaurant and we asked why they were there, we weren't, the danger was for everyone, nothing changed from 10 minutes to another and no one was able to tell us anything. Moral of the story they left three children without eating and when we told them that no one would let us eat because it was late they didn't even take pity on the children.

The mixed starter of cooked fish is varied, but in the end for the excessive seasonings everything seems to taste the same.
The cavati with octopus sauce were drowned in a broth of sauce and water I can not define ..
The chicken cutlet taken for the baby was heavy..
Count absolutely too high for the quality of the things we ate, I do not recommend it!

With my husband, we wanted to try the Campisi restaurant, because knowing their products we deduced that the food could also be up to par... Unfortunately, a disappointment... A heavy mixed fried dish almost similar to street food, we tried taking one of theirs strong dish.. The busiate... Raw, cold pasta, confit tomatoes cold from the fridge, too messy pistachio pesto with an insignificant ricotta which served as the basis for the busiate.. Bottarga killed by these decidedly mushy flavours, sorry for the term.. .. The wine was good... At the checkout we reported our dissatisfaction, we were told that we could request the dish.. But on a Saturday, full of people, it didn't seem appropriate to me, the attention of the chef was enough.. Anyway I wouldn't go back again...

Unfortunately after 6 years I decided to return with the family to this restaurant to remember the old days, but it was a big mistake. Eat really mediocre, pasta with hedgehogs that tasted of everything but hedgehogs, really inedible. The scent of hedgehogs fills the plate, here you could not feel anything, neither taste nor smell. But not only the pasta with hedgehogs, but also the first one my wife took was basically a tomato pasta with 5 mussels number. Maybe for those who are not used to eating fish it may seem like a great restaurant, but for me, who understand some fish, I think the food is really of a very low quality, considering the exorbitant cost of the courses. Enjoy your meal.
