Antichi Sapori Sicilian Cuisine

Antichi Sapori Sicilian Cuisine is an Italian restaurant in Plaza Tamarindo, unit 10, on Avenida Central. A Sicilian family runs it: the owner looks after the dining room and his wife is the chef. The restaurant says it has been open for more than 14 years.

The menu is based on Sicilian family recipes and includes pasta, pizza, gnocchi, seafood and desserts. Pistachio is used in several savory and sweet dishes, and one specialty uses bottarga (dried tuna roe). Almost the whole menu can be made gluten-free, including pasta, pizza, gnocchi and desserts, and the restaurant says it follows steps to avoid cross-contamination for guests with celiac disease. There is seating on an outdoor patio and at a few tables inside.

The website lists dinner hours of Monday to Saturday, 5 pm to 9 pm. Google currently shows the restaurant as temporarily closed.

The restaurant is consistently well reviewed. Guests most often praise the fresh pasta, the seafood dishes, the gluten-free options and the warm, personal service from the owner. Some also mention fair prices. One recent guest found a pasta dish disappointing, although the service was good.
