The first floor casual place is good. The 2nd flor place was terrible.
Different places. Saracene just means Muslims in Italian, and many parts of southern Italy have a muslim name including Saraceno. There are many restaurants that have the name Saraceno, but it can't be the same one we are describing. I'm talking about a mom and pop place. You have to walk up the hill quite a way to get to it. And when you get there, there will be none but locals from the nearby Red Cross Station and other local businesses that still respect the two hour lunch. There is no second floor there.
It's just a great local restaurant with the name Saraceno in it, easy to find. It's not part of a hotel, it's not on the beach, it's up the hill. The locals eat there all the time.
