to his surprise
Pinocchio is hungry and looks for an egg to cook himself an omelet; but, to his surprise, the omelet flies out of the window.

sul piu bello
it means that when the 'frittata' was almost ready, almost cooked, almost ready to be eaten 'era quasi bella pronta' a common old Tuscan way of referring to food, it has an enticing connotations.

: just for the records, I'd like to add as a post-grading comment that "sul più bello" and "bello pronto" are two completely different idioms / apparently I am unable to express myself, I'm giving up

Of course they are two different expressions, but in this particular context one is sequential to the other: sul piu' bello riferito ad una frittata is usually when is 'nice and ready' to be eaten.
