Jess and I actually went to this restaurant back in January, but Im just getting around to the post. Its not easy having all these places to go and then actually writing about them…. its a happy problem. 🙂 . Im going to keep this short and sweet and say that this restorante is a great nearby restaurant for seafood. Its a bit pricier than your local pizzeria, but you have to change it up from time to time. This restaurant is in a town called Capo Mulini, which you can see from our porch looking down at the water. Its in between Acitrezza and Acireale. During the summer this town is swamped with people since its right on the water and all the tourists are in town. We figured this would be a great time to try it out and we got lucky with a very sunny and warm January day.
La Curva’s food is all about seafood, so if your not into that.. “foget abaat ittt.” Luckily I have gotten Jess to drink the seafood kool aid so to speak and she is now a legitimate seafood person. Especially after this meal where I had her try “Alici Marinate” (Marinated sardines) and “Insalata di polpo” (Octopus salad)… and she liked it!!! The food was prepared so well that it is easy to like. The highlights of the meal for me were the antipasti that I mentioned above and the Donna Fugata wine that we had. My entree, “Cous Cous di Mare” (Seafood cous cous) was good, but I was really expecting something out of this world. Jess had “Ravioli di pesce spada” (Swordfish raviolis), which she liked.
