We waited a bit even though we arrived around our booking time. You can tell they are busy. We love their feative decoration and attentive waiters and waitresses. We had the pistachio burgers and it was one of the best, at the Shake Shake level. The portions are good. Definitely recommend to book in advance.
I loved this spot! The decor was charming, creating a great atmosphere. The pizza was amazing and generously sized, definitely a highlight!

Adorable with perfect location! Unfortunately we were at at the table behind the bicycle hosted area and there's a large pipe and very limited space for table of 4 which made it uncomfortable. The food was good. Not great, but good. It looked fabulous on Instagram.

We ate here for dinner in January 2025 and loved it. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff was friendly and attentive, the decor charming. Highly highly recommend.
We ordered the classic fondue (Which, by the way, you can get different sizes of. The menu doesn't mention this.), sweet potato fries (BEST we've had, ever!) with lime mayonnaise, pumpkin gnocchi, and the house red and white wines. It was all fabulous.
They were able to squeeze us in without a reservation early in the evening but definitely don't count on it.

There’s something magical about L’Horloge, maybe it’s the warm vibe on Via Santa Filomena, or maybe it was the pistachio fondue that stole the show. Either way, this spot delivers.
We started with the burrata and anchovy bruschetta (simple, salty, creamy perfection) and the “Après Demain” salad, which was fresh and beautifully balanced. But the real star? That fondue. Pistachio rich, velvety, and paired with roasted potatoes, bread, and pickled veggies, it was indulgence done right.
The rib steak mains were seared perfectly and laid on a bed of crispy sweet potato fries, drizzled with more pistachio sauce because, hey, when in Sicily…
Service was another highlight. Nicole guided us through the menu with genuine care and paired our wine like a pro, great bottle, very fairly priced. To top it all off, we had a surprise visit from @rockin_kitchen_sicily, whose energy and good humor made the night unforgettable.
L’Horloge is more than a meal, it’s an experience.
5/5. Would come back without hesitation.
