Onda azzurra
About
When in Sicily, Onda azzurra is the local business that anchors the Contrada Forgia stretch of Balestrate PA, a restaurant set on the island's north-western coast. The venue operates from a fixed address in Balestrate, giving it a steady presence in this part of the province of Palermo.
Onda azzurra is known for its kitchen, which serves the seafood, handmade pasta, olive oil and local wines that define cooking on the island. Guests who come here for the first time can expect a restaurant setting rather than a bar or takeaway counter, with a menu built around the island's Mediterranean larder. Feedback from 833 diners places the venue at 4.2 out of 5, a score that reflects a broad base of local and visiting custom. The restaurant's website at http://www.ondaazzurra.com/ carries its own information for those planning a meal.
Five photos accompany the venue's listing, offering a preview of the space before arrival. The website at ondaazzurra.com provides the restaurant's own online presence. Balestrate sits within the province of Palermo, and the address on Contrada Forgia places the business in that coastal town.
Sicily draws visitors through a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and milder, wetter winters, with June through September the busiest stretch. Dining on the island leans on the catch of the day, pasta rolled by hand, pressed olive oil and wines grown locally, so a meal here follows those traditions. Flights, ferries and hydrofoils connect Italy's islands to the mainland, while Italian serves as the everyday language. Palermo is one of the island's main cities, offering a contrast to Balestrate for those extending their stay.
