The 18 best spots for salad in Syracuse

Amazing sandwiches. Prosciutto mozzarella and tomato. spicy ventricina salami baked ricotta grilled peppers mixed salad chili pate spread and two small beers. Bread had sesame seeds. YUM! Place was packed and wildly efficient and service fast. We ended up going inside after lunch and buying more food, bread and goods to go.

Possibly the best sandwich bar in Italy😎🙏 Great service. Amazing quality of food and an amazing shop to spend 15 minutes in. A ginormous sandwich with the freshest and most authentic ingredients made by a guy with a real passion and for €7.

It’s a must. You can’t miss out on this spot. The food is spectacular, the ambience is unique, the speed at which food moves is something you have to experience for yourself. Let the lm recommend which wine to pair with your cold cuts / cheeses; you won’t regret it. Sit outside, people watch and enjoy the savory journey you’re about to embark on!

This was our absolute favourite place!! We made this part of our morning routine - we would run in the morning and then end with a coffee and we had two different GO TO meals. Burrata with the zucchini and quince jam! This with the mortadella was insane flavours. We also tried the salad croissants which is where you can choose the same filling as the sandwiches but in the croissants. We also took sandwiches down to the beach one day- we were told that the sandwich bar next door was average and this could be true even though we didn’t try next door! Great staff - a serious institution!!

Enjoyed our roll (fresh, crusty bread) & salad. Very busy place at lunch time on a Friday but great atmosphere.

We had a lovely tasting board, but there was no introduction so no idea what we were eating. Non the less, highly recommend, full of locals, also did some shopping here!

Great atmosphere, lots of people but the waiters were super fast, smart, convenient and so friendly! The food/sandwiches was AMAZING, and the cocktails were coming super fast

If you are in Ortigia, you cannot miss Pasticceria Artale. Their cannolo is simply unforgettable – the shell is perfectly crisp and delicate, while the ricotta filling is creamy, fresh, and full of authentic Sicilian flavor. It’s the perfect balance of texture and taste, not too sweet, just perfect. The pasticceria itself is welcoming and full of tempting pastries, but the cannolo truly stands out as one of the best I have ever had. The staff are friendly and take great pride in their craft, which makes the experience even more enjoyable.

My favourite granita I've had in Sicily so far! The brioche was so fresh and warm. The staff was lovely and suggested I try a mix of almond and pistachio - delicious.

Good breakfast, nothing mind-blowing. The cannoli are massive, maybe even too much (I’ve never seen them so big to be honest). Everything was good and prices were fair, but it just felt like a normal breakfast you could have anywhere in Italy, nothing really special.

If you want to eat traditional breakfast, this is the right place. 2 capuccinos, brioche, granita were all together 8 euros. Best granita in Ortigia!

The pistachio granitas here were the best one I’ve had in Sicily. Almond was also very good. Not too sweet! Warm brioche.

Finally, a friendly place for English speaking customers on our cruise journey thru Italy 🥰. Double macchiato with classic Connolly, so yummy! Highly recommend!

I tried canollo here, and it was delicious! One of the best, or maybe even the best that I've had in my life. I've been to Italy many times and I like canolli, so I tried them a lot. Here the ricotta filling was so fresh!

Delicious food! The menu has a little something for anyone. Our favorites were the pistachio pesto pasta and the sausage with red peppers and potato mash. Very nice servers and the restaurant is on a cute street with indoor and outdoor seating.

A fraud in Siracusa and the most horrible experience ever! I ordered the octopus. The first that they served me looked fine but smelled burnt because they didn’t wash the pan properly. I told the waiter immediately and he said he would change it for me. I was so innocent to believe that they would improve and serve a properly cooked one. LOOK AT WHAT THEY SERVE FOR THE SECOND TIME!! Did you use the materials what you left from last week to cook for me?? Worse than the first one. Everyone can tell the difference from their look, also the mashed potatoes have turned sour. 🤮If you feel unhappy to re-prepare, just say no instead of giving me this SHIT!! It tasted as it looked, the worst food ever. €19 FOR THIS SHIT. IF YOU WANT TO WASTE TIME AND MONEY, HERE IS THE BEST PLACE.

Lovely variety of food. We especially enjoyed the grilled octopus, tuna with pistachio, and pistachio pasta. Don’t forget to try their tiramisu! A great spot for date nights or family meals.

We had to wait more than an hour to get a table, which was quite long. The food was tasty, but honestly nothing very special – we didn’t quite understand the hype around this place. Overall, it was fine, but probably not worth such a long wait.

Ok so the food wasn’t that special, which makes me believe this place just has hype for hype… we had to wait 40 mins to get a table (which was fine because we were expecting it, so after we put our names down on the list we went to grab a drink nearby). When you go in the vibe is good, lots of movement, interesting design, friendly staff. I was however expecting more from the food… all of it was bland and frankly I could have done better in my own house. The aubergine dish was lacking salt, the pasta wasn’t even hot enough for the cheese to melt, and it had pieces of swordfish and seeded olives (that were sour). Plus the tiramisu was made with cream and not mascarpone, what was up with that? Unfortunately it’s not one of the places I would recommend in Syracuse

A lot of hype over nothing. The drinks were meh. The pasta was horrible - overcooked and tasteless. The only reason I’m giving my this a 2/5 is because the service was fantastic. Pasta2go has better food. Waited 40 mins in a weekday to be seated. Will not be back here anytime soon.

Just saw this on google and noticed the reviews so thought we'd give it ago. Beautiful pasta, great service and nice casual vibe to the place. We went at lunch and we were able to get in straight away. That said it stayed rather busy while there so keep that in mind when coming a long.

Best pizza and arancini I've ever had! Love love love the loud and bright italian atmosphere.

Lovely little local spot! They serve the best arancini in town and the staff couldn’t be nicer. The price is also great (2€/arancini) and they are also so filling. You know it’s authentic when you’re the only tourists there!

Our favourite bakery in Ortigia. As local as it gets. You see what they have available behind a glass vitrine. We had the best Arancini we had in town. Scaccia with spinach was one of the best things I had in my life :). Graffe was also super. Staff friendly and relaxed. Prices as good as it gets. What else do you need from a Sicilian experience?

We’ve had a lot of arancini during our visit to Sicily and these have been definitely the best. The ragú one is just absolute perfection. We also had some pistacchio arancini, and they were good but nothing compare to the classical, ragú one. Only 2 EUR for such an incredible snack (and with a huge size too!) is a blessing. You must try this delicious masterpiece!

True highlight of visiting Ortigia. Well priced, simple, and incredibly delicious. The arancini are the best that we’ve had so far on our trip. Definitely not a stop to miss!

You can get bad arancini in Sicily so if you want a really great one, go to this bakery. Fresh and crunchy like arancini should be. Not a soggy blob with too much rice. I tried the classic arancino with ragu. Great ragu too!

I reckon this was the my favourite place to go for arancini on Ortigia. The ragu was very, very good - plus €2 v the typical price on the island of €3-3.50. Great place slightly out of the main tourist areas to relax at in the evenings.

Really amazing food. I went there 3 times during my stay. The gazpacho burratta soup, was like a hug to the soul! Really loved their Lamb Shank too, and lamb is very rare in the restaurants around as they are mostly seafood . Really friendly staffs.

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was warm and attentive. The foie gras was enjoyable, though not particularly memorable. But the lamb... it was truly outstanding – tender, flavorful, and unforgettable. A dish that left a lasting impression! We also had a glass of Catarratto wine – fresh, elegant, and the perfect pairing for the meal.

Simply one of the best experiences - cannot recommend this place enough. After two weeks in Sicily eating amazing food, this place was one of the last we visited and it exceeded expectations. The decor and atmosphere is so good we feared we may be walking into a tourist trap, but the small menu put our minds at ease. Every single staff member was a pleasure to interact with. We ordered lasagna, risotto, and the lamb on our waiter’s recommendation. All absolutely delicious, but the lamb in particular was the best lamb we’ve ever had. Shared a hazelnut dessert to finish. I could rave forever about how much we loved this place - they make you feel as if you are dining with old friends.

Favorite meal in Sicily! Came here for lunch and loved our meal! Service was great, food was so delicious. Authentic Sicilian food with French vibes - perfection! Definitely come here if you’re in Syracuse!!!

Wow. What a fantastic dining experience. Greeted by the owner who had a cheeky smile and fun attitude. We sat in the courtyard and ordered the cod starter to share, beef Rossini and steak with green peppercorn sauce and a basil panna cotta to finish. The service was awesome, the food just as good. Thank you for a great experience 🙏 Grazie Mille

Im speechless. The food was amazing, the service was great, the atmosphere-perfect. The menu was served in a notebook, which i find fascinating. You should definitely try the lamb shank and the arancinis. I totally recommend going to this place!

Cozy Bistro Tucked away in an Ortigia alley, Le Vin de L’Assassin is a cozy bistro blending French-Italian flair with charm. Outdoor tables under string lights set a relaxed mood, while a handwritten notebook menu adds a personal touch. Dishes are flavourful, beautifully plated, and reasonably priced. Service is warm and professional. Leave room for dessert—it’s worth it. Popular and intimate, reservations are highly recommended for this unforgettable dining spot.

Honestly just a really disappointing experience. We went because they had a gluten free pizza base (extra €3.90) but it honestly seemed frozen or store bought. It went super hard really quickly and just wasn’t great. As a coeliac it didn’t feel like a safe or decent option at all. Service was pretty rubbish too. One female waitress was actually really lovely but the rest (all guys) were rude and just couldn’t be bothered. My partner was offered to try the red wine available. One was cold and stale. When asked if they had a regular room temperature option, they shrugged us off. When we asked to take our leftovers they brought one box for both pizzas, even though one was gluten free and the other wasn’t, which just isn’t ideal. Then we noticed a wine on the bill that we didn’t even have. The waiter did fix it and say sorry, but it was such a half-hearted standoffish apology. Then he just sort of chucked the new bill on the table. Overall it felt like a tourist trap. Definitely wouldn’t go back, especially if you’re coeliac or just expect basic good service.

Followed a recommendation from a food/travel blogger and we were glad we did! The pizza was absolutely perfect. We had the Panarea and it was sooooo delicious. The crust was perfect. Best pizza we’ve had in Italy.

I often hesitate to share my favorite restaurants as I don't want them to get too busy. Well, this one is already. I go here at least once a week on my yearly one month stays in Siracusa. It it my favorite in Sicily and my second favorite in all of Italy (and no, I'm not telling you what that one is... Yet!) The burgers look great, but I don't go to Italy for a burger. The pizza is amazing. I am totally not a crust guy, but it IS the crust that really makes this place worth visiting. They have some classic pizzas and some very cool combinations. One of my favorites is the Fumerole. The first photo is what I had today, Quattro Fromaggi. The have a really good wine and beer list, and the place is usually hopping. Resos definitely recommended on the weekends. They have a half dozen outside tables and a great stone walled interior. This place does not disappoint, hence it's popularity.

Very good pizza, if not to say the best we ate on Sicily. We sat in the middle of a small street, had really good neapolitan pizza and enjoyed good drinks. Would definitely go here again!

Great pizzas, quality ingredients. However the service is SO slow, we waited almost an hour to get our dishes and after they almost kicked us out, removing the plates before we were all finished.

Nice little restaurant you need to be in early for lunch as it gets very busy very quickly. I had a Sicilian special pizza with sausage meat. Very tasty indeed. The house red wine was also good. Friendly service and good prices.

Really beautiful pizzeria in the city centre. The have great food but also good beers. The service was fast.

Happy place for raw fish and bottarga lovers. Stylish market restaurant, run by the family who owns the seafood market stall next to the restaurant. Excellent quality and rare products. Great choice of wines, especially orange wines. Sometimes food is accompanied by a DJ. Prices are quite high but match the quality. Menu changes according to availability of the seafood. Standards are fried mixed seafood and bruschetta with marinated anchovies. Only outdoor seating. (Price varies according to choice, 15-50 Euro)

we stumbled upon this GLORIOUS restaurant today for lunch and oh my, what a find!! The food was insanely good, there were many ooo’s and ahh’s as they brought food out as it was ready and every dish we had was packed full of delicious, fresh flavours. The atmosphere is super relaxed and cool, and felt very authentic. They were kind enough to say thank you with a few bruschetta’s for coming to have lunch on such a hot day (when most people were inside, likely with the air con on high) and the service overall was fantastic, really lovely people who just seemed to want us to have a lovely time- which we did!! can’t recommend visiting here enough, I wish I could eat here every day!!!

Very disappointed, portions were tiny for the price, order a fried mix 15€ and was mostly sardins and a bunch of small prawns, in general I didn’t like the food. The tuna carpaccio was better, but still small portion for 18€. On top they served in paper plates.

Great food, very kind and cute staff ;) They told us a secret to the best olive oil in Sicily. Big thanks!

Incredible place with succulent food ! A lot of taste in the plates. The menu is written on a board and can change by day to day relative to seefood arrival I guess. You need to go there it’s a must in Syracusa (Ortigia) !

Really good food!!! If you love fresh seafood, good wine, kind staff - Cappuccio is for you

I stopped by for a quick lunch and was blown away by the sheer quality of the food. The fried anchovies were among the best I've ever had. The tuna tartare and the sandwich with swordfish were absolutely mouthwatering

Today's lunch consisted of a beautiful vegan 'cheese' plate, hummus/falafel/naan dish, and vegan cutlets. The flavors were extraordinary, the ambience was tranquil and artistically vibrant, the service was friendly and helpful, the portions were generous, and the entire experience was so pleasing that we made reservations to return tomorrow evening. The refined quality of plant-based food in such a high-level restaurant is a rare find in Sicily (and many other places in the world) and is greatly appreciated. Grazie mille!

Exceptional food. Each course better than the last with desert to die for. Excellent wine choices and cocktails. Very good and friendly staff. Can't fault. Might be a bit expensive but worth every penny. Can't praise enough.

Beautiful unique interior, incredibly cool cocktails, huge variety of imaginative, delicious, high-end 100% plant-based dishes. Very nice service. Impressive wine list and the best wine I’ve had yet in Sicily. I wish I could go back for more vegan cutlets and vegetable tempura. Wish I could give six stars.

5 stars isn’t enough. My wife is vegan and usually has to make huge comprimises in almost every restaurant we visit. Well not here. The food at Moon isn’t just well prepared it’s almost a science. Every dish we had ( 3 return visits in 10 days) was fantastic. The flavours were out of this world. Every person that served us knew every dish and could explain the technique and ingredients used to make it. All the staff were friendly and laughing. The Shushi I had three times and it was fantastic each time. We thought the atmosphere during lunch was great but in the evening it goes to a different level. The only down side they don’t have a restaurant in England.

they shot for the moon… but didn’t quite get there. we only ordered two entrees, both were fine but quite small portions for the price and needed salt. based on the name, atmosphere, menu, and presentation of the food we were expecting something more groundbreaking. furthermore, it’s not that difficult to eat vegan with sicilian cuisine. of course it’s great to see a plant based restaurant, and the colony of stray cats that hang out near by are very cute, but i wouldn’t overly recommend this place. MOON - Maybe One Ought Not.

A friend recommended MOON and I had read other good reviews, and I was not disappointed with my visit. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious! The flavours were subtle and the meal very pleasing - even for my non-vegan boyfriend. Great job - I would definitely return!

Carbonara was exceptional, all the food was. This is a must try in Ortigia - wish we had gone twice! Would recommend trying the after party cocktail

We loved this place. Small cozy yet it is full of warmth. Wished the menu had more choices but with what they had it was very tasty and fresh. Loved their fried stuffed sardines with pine nuts and raisins. Their server was amazing and very friendly. Would definitely go back again.

Nice seafood restaurant right along the coast. Too hot/sunny to eat outside, but two indoor dining areas. Nice menu and seafood offerings. We had whole grilled bream, shrimp, and a salad. Very well done. So hungry and good that I didn't get a photo before we'd eaten most of the food. Pleasant and attentive service.

Hands down best Linguine I’ve ever had. Stuff is magical. They will pass the legend of this pasta down through the ages. The tuna steak a beauty. Ruby red. Extremely tender. The orange salad is fresh and delicate. Friendly atmosphere. Good reggae music. Perfect.

So good we ate there 3 times. The fish balls are sensational and the food is super tasty and a high quality. The best tuna we’ve tried was cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend this to friends.

This is a great little restaurant. Does what it says on the door - great seafood. The swordfish steak with pistachio was exceptional. Highly recommended for seafood lovers.

Delicious food, excellent service. A bit hot inside but we enjoyed everything and would come again!

Fresh breaded swordfish and octopus salad from main dish. Fish superb, octopus was very tasty as well. Really quiet place where you can rest being away from crowded streets.

One of the best restaurants in Siracusa for many years We are looking forward eating there every time we are in Sicily. High quality food, excellent wine, outstanding service! It’s 100 % recommended must have experience!

Excellent place to eat fresh fish and seafood. Would just add a tiny little bit less salt. Thanks for a great experience! And really good wine, probably the cheapest on the menu, recommended by the waiter who I believe is the owner. 🐠🐠

One of the freshest fish and seafood we have ever tasted in restaurants, both in Greece and abroad. The dishes were cooked (or, in raw plates, prepared) in such a way that highlighted the freshness and flavor of the ingredients. The restaurant manager was extremely polite, served us willingly even though we arrived late, at a time when their kitchen had just closed, and was very explanatory about everything. The service was excellent, fast, and very polite. It is definitely worth the money and is a place we will surely visit again, if we return to Syracuse. It was the perfect closure to our trip to Sicily, and we thank them all very much!

Excellent sea food! Carbonara di Mare and the bruschetta with anchovies and burata was an absolute dream! 😍

One of the best restaurants in Sicily！ Everything is fait-maison and fresh ( the broth, the fish and the veggies etc.) Good advice for local wines. Last point - lovely decoration and ceramic pieces on the table.

This is, without a doubt my favorite restaurant. Not only in Sicily, but in Europe. The combination of taste, friendlyness and character is what it makes it so special. The location, too. You sit on the charming market of Ortigia. Another plus: it is rather small - so the output of the small open kitchen is plausible. First time here, we came round lunchtime without Reservation. They made room for us and the feast began: ceviche, tartar and fritti di Mare - all perfect and delicious! A true seafood treat! On repeated ocasions I ate the monk fish ragout and grilled whole fish and tartare again and again. Wine: Two of their wine suggestions became highlight of my personal wine cellar, both are Grillo (which, of course go well with fish). And both come with a recall of Ortigia market even if I am 1000 miles away. La Lisca is magic to me.

Would I move my entire family and all my belongings to Sicily just to eat at this restaurant more often!? Absolutely! Do you know the feeling of falling asleep in between fresh clean sheets? Getting into a warm bath on a cold winters day? Or that uncle who's been telling you conspiracy theory's all day finally leaving after Christmas dinner!? That's what it's like taking your first bite of the amazing sea food this place offers you. Forget the day you met the love of your life, forget the day your kids where born, just forget about your children completely anyway, because can you eat children? A judge told you can't. But can you eat fish? My insurance says I can! This fish is so fresh it arrives at your table on the boat it was caught on. And yes that is unpractical, and yes it's indeed hard to parallel park a ship... but all of that creates a culinary moment you'll cherish for the rest of your life. Oh and great service btw!

I had dinner here with my family and boyfriend. It was the worst experience we had in Sicily. Racist undertone coming from the waiter, they also rejected us when we asked for extra plates. Food was nothing to write home about, you are in Sicily so it’s very hard to find really bad food. I would not come back and I think you would be better off dining at neighbouring restaurants. There was a neighbouring restaurant that looks amazing, I’m still regretting the fact we didn’t choose them over Carnezzeria.

Great location for a restaurant and good atmosphere, it was just getting going when we arrived. My husband had swordfish - which he really enjoyed. My choice was the cod. It was a good sized portion in a creamy (potato?) sauce, but it was barely warm. I like my food to arrive piping hot. The fish itself was watery and had no discernible flavour, so this was very disappointing. I might have said something to the serving staff if anyone had come over to ask how our food was, but once we were served no one came back to check on us. Our only disappointing experience in Ortigia.

A great place to eat. Some of the food was pricey, but you get what you pay for. They don't hold back on the portions

You gotta love atmosphere of the market! Amazing fresh food, pretty quick service, good wines and very understanding staff. They speak English. Clean bathrooms.

Not a lot of elegance as it’s in the market but extremely fresh excellent seafood - and a very large wine list.

Highly recommended, and absolutely stellar dining experience! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with the aroma of freshly prepared seafood dishes. The ambiance was charming and inviting. The seafood was incredibly fresh. The service was impeccable, with attentive staff who went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional.

We ate dinner very early in Sicilian standards- 6:30pm. The waitress was very friendly and answered all my questions about local life. I felt very welcomed- felt like a small town place to me. The food was very good. We had the ensalada bufalo- amazing! And the Parmesan (Parmesan aubergine) and the carbonara- the meat melted in your mouth. They also offered raw oysters, prawns and lagoustine- we didn’t chose this but many did. They will grill all but the oysters. The oysters were from France and China. We had a lovely time and would go back.

I only came to Il Tiranno Caportigia Restaurant for the breakfast buffet, but it was excellent and high quality. They had a huge range of options, including including eggs, pancakes, waffles, meats/cheeses, pastries, fruit, and so much more. I ate so much and really enjoyed my meal. The waiter was also very friendly and attentive. I could tell this restaurant is higher-end and a great place to dine.

My husband organized my bday dinner here. We had the 6-course tasting menu for 120 a person, without alcoholic drinks. Food presentation is a true art and flavors were excellent. Despite saying I don’t like tuna I got a tuna butter… well… it was good for someone who likes that taste. The scallops were my favorite, perfectly cooked and flavor was divine. Our cocktails were made in front of us at the bar wagon, in accordance to the chefs recommendations. Staff speaks perfect English, and accommodated dietary preferences. Unfortunately they didn’t read the comment in the reservation that it was a birthday so I lacked the candle on my dessert - make sure to remind the waitress upon your arrival if you want sth special during your dinner with them. Also be sure to bring their tip in cash!

Food as art! One of the best meals I have ever had. And I’ve eaten at some spectacular restaurants around the world. Not only was each item gorgeously plated, the subtle flavours in combination were masterful. It was a party for my mouth and my eyes. Truly unforgettable. And to top it off, the service was spectacular. Watermelon and tuna. Pistachio biscuits with ricotta crema to die for. Amuse bouche that did far more than amuse. Wow. Just wow!!

il Tiranno at the boutique hotel Caportigia offers a truly unique gastronomic experience in Siracusa. After checking into the Caportigia hotel in late afternoon, we decided to just go to il Tiranno for dinner out of convenience. But right from the start with the chef's complimentary welcome appetizers, then our starters, mains and desserts were all delicious and beautifully prepared. We were struck by the breath and depth of flavours and the unexpected compositions of fresh ingredients that simply left us in awe. Then came breakfast the next morning that in addition to the usual breakfast buffet items, we found a variety of delicately prepared delicious mini sandwiches, savory and sweet pastries, pies and cakes. If you are planning to come to Siracusa, we highly recommend that you consider staying at Caportigia boutique hotel and dining at il Tiranno. We like to thank Valentina and her team of Andreas, Chiara and Maria for a truly incredible dining experience at il Tiranno.

Very lovely place, we walked by one evening, came in the next, and what a treat! The service was excellent, warm and welcoming. The food was very good, creative and tasteful. The new burrata salad was extraordinary, my wife has never had a better version!

Fantastic. The food is great, very polite and friendly staff! I spent there the night of my birthday and the Chef made a cake for me! They are great, I suggest this restaurant to everyone who want spend a special evening.

The food and service were excepcional. The combination of flavours at every bite was stunning. I highly recommend the wagyu and the scallops.

Let me set the scene: it’s 19:30 on a warm June evening, the kind where the sky melts into gold, a breeze wraps around you like a silk scarf, and swallows swoop through the air like they were choreographed just for your arrival. You take a tiny glass elevator to the top floor of the Grand Hotel Ortigia and boom—you step into one of the most elegant rooftop settings in Sicily. We had called just the day before to book and were lucky to find a spot (end of June = still doable, but I’d reserve ahead if you’re coming in high season). We were seated on the terrace—front-row seats to the most cinematic sunset over Ortigia, with boats drifting in the background and the sea stretching endlessly before us. The food? Let’s talk about that polpo. “Polpo doppia cottura su crema di patate” sounds poetic—and it is. Tender, rich, and the kind of dish you order as a secondo but secretly wish you could eat for every course. Then came the pasta: pistachio pesto and shelled clams swimming in a vibrant green sauce. Balanced, bright, and exactly what summer on a Sicilian rooftop should taste like. Service was very professional. We sat outside on the terrace, but there’s also refined indoor seating if the weather doesn’t play nice. We parked at Parcheggio Molo Sant’Antonio using EasyPark (about a 10-minute scenic walk along the lungomare) it’s large, easy, and feels like part of the experience. There may be closer options, but the stroll is worth it. Would I go again? In a heartbeat. And next time, I’m ordering dessert too.

My son and I came for my birthday dinner. Service was grand. We were dressed casually with no problem. The grouper fish and the veal were very good as well as the steamed shrimp. Drinks were ridiculously priced. $20 for a monitor and $26 for a suggested italian gin and tonic. The views are amazing.

Impeccable service and great food! Definitely a place where you should go in Siracusa for dinner. We had our 1st anniversary dinner here, and this is definitely where you want to have your romantic dinner at sunset. The food is perfect and the service is on point, etiquette followed through to the nines. You definitely pay for it, as prices are above standard, but then again you surely get what you pay for! In my opinion a 100% go to!

We had a romantic dinner. The restaurant is located on the third floor, terrace with beautiful views of the sea and sunset. In Syracuse in the evening it is a big problem to find parking. The restaurant provided a free parking space. My husband and I were greeted at the reception as friendly as dear guests. The staff speaks fluent English and German. The attentive staff made our stay at the restaurant comfortable throughout the evening. Special respect to the chef. The food is cooked at a high level, an incredibly subtle combination of flavors and spices. Octopus with the most delicate carrot puree with hints of saffron was incredibly delicious! The mussel soup was a hit, as my husband said. For the main course we took fish, sea bass and dorado. Flawless! The waiter suggested white wine for the fish, which was excellent. We enjoyed delicious food, impeccable service and pleasant music. Thank you! We will definitely return to your wonderful restaurant!

Fantastic restaurant ! Mauricio was super helpful and recommended Sicilian wine ! Phenomenal ! We enjoyed every course ! Mauricio also took amazing photos for us at sunset ! We had a nice conversation in English and German . Must go for visitors !!!!

A birthday celebration to remember. The zenith of Sicilian cusine? Yes and no. Service, ambience and enjoyment level all at the top. Each dish cooked to a very high standard, yes. I would give a 9/10 thank you to the team.

Fantastic restaurant, amazing and accommodating service, delicious and refined food in such a beautiful and elegant setting inside, while you can enjoy the gorgeous scenery of the marina on the outside. They'll even treat you to a glass of Prosecco and house chickpeas chips upon arrival, while 'Coperto' is free of charge! A MUST stop for a wonderful dinner while in Syracuse!

This was our opening and closing place of our short stay in Siracusa. We love the staffs who were so friendly and helpful with my son’s allergies. Cheaper prices compared to other places, but quality is very high, good value for money. Also the atmosphere and environment was very chilling and clean.

Great local coffee shop for true Italian coffee & cakes.

Just passed this bakery by chance after visiting the Archeological Park. We had the best Arancini we’ve had so far in Sicily. Delicious!

Sicilian bar with pastry, coffee... Sicilian sweets in their highest quality and great coffee! Arancini was great too. Staff is nice and prices really really affordable, when visit Syracuse, I recommend to go there, don't need to hesitate!

A great little coffee shop serving just magical hot chocolate... They have 5 different types. To select from: dark, pistachio, white, normal and another one I forgot... I went with the pistachio and 3 small cakes and it was a perfect sugar hit to keep me running until dinner later.

Your one stop for every Sicilian delicacy ! Be it for a quick lunch or to enjoy a sweet dessert , you are sure to find something to pleasure your palate here. Among the sweet dishes be sure to try the Raviola con Ricotta or the Panzerotto con Ricotta. They are exquisite. Personnel is super friendly. Honest pricing helps too!

Lovely locals hang out but welcoming to tourists also. Great Sicilian pastries, cakes, granite and Illy coffee - affogato specialities too with pistachio and almond.

They are charging 18€ for fried seafood. Even in tourist trap Ortigia, it is cheaper than this (September 2024). I am giving +1 just because the portion was big.

Nice place, food basically fried and topped with mayo. Special horse 🐎 panini 👌. Great service. Had an original feeling of a simple poor side of sicily that the touristic development will soon make obsolete.

It is excellent Sicilian street food - panini (Sicilian sandwiches). There is good choice of meet and vegetarian products also alkohol beer and wine.

Average, the panelle were not what I expected, having experienced them in Palermo these ones were soggy with oil.

Thumbs up

Delicious vegerarian sandwich (I don't remember the corresponding dwarf). Very cheap

Cheap and filling sandwiches. Open late with outdoor seating.

Recommended by our apartment host, this restaurant just outside the touristy area was a fantastic find. The fried fish starter was excellent, and both the Pasta Norma and Carbonara were delicious. We ended with a lovely tiramisu and a complimentary raisin liquor from the kind waitress — a thoughtful touch. Great local vibe, reasonable prices and real Sicilian flavour. A must-go!

Nice food, served by prepared staff in a family business who have been there for long enough to know how some ingredients flavour pasta. Price is adequate and they could decorate better. Better vibe is if you sit outside. The place is at the end of the busy street, so less busy.

This feels like a real locals place , Not a tourists. We’ve been to Ortigia a couple of times but first time to find this beautiful little restaurant, definitely family run, the food was simply amazing from the fresh fish to the Pasta, the best find in all of Ortigia for us. Will be back every time.

The Palermo-style swordfish was amazing! The side salad (just a few pieces of lettuce) was a bit disappointing and lacked flavor. Overall, it was a great experience, though the prices are on the higher side compared to typical Sicilian standards.

Clear recommendation. Staff was super nice, unfortunately they don't speak English but everything worked fine as they were super kind and patient with us. Great dishes. Everything we had was super delicious. Price was absolutely fair. If I come back to the city I will definitely come back to this restaurant. Can only recommend it!

The past place to eat in Siracusa (Ortigia). The Paccheri pasta was one of the best pasta dishes, that i’ve had in Italy so far. The Bigoli with sardines were as tasty as the swordfish involtini. The service is super friendly and the whole place is super affordable and just amazing. :)

Overall not bad experience, pretty cheap as for portions and pasta tasted ok (ordered famous and recommended by many chef’s option) I mean, it’s ok, see photo, but definitely nothing to book a table for, lacked seasoning and I got 3 shrimps heads, but only two big shrimps and a lot of mini shrimps)) but what made this mark low is mixed grilled fish main dish, especially tuna — as they said fish of that day — was way overcooked and dry (check pic), I don’t know how fish places can do this to grilled fish and grilled calamari — was very rubbery (we didn’t even finish that one). I wouldn’t visit again, but maybe we just got unlucky.

Food was good but not a traditional Sicilian. Clean and cosy, overall higher than average.

Good food and helpful staff.

Awesome little shop in the heart of Ortigia selling wine, homemade limoncello and spreads. Francesco is super helpful, honest and extremely friendly! We ate at their restaurant next door and then popped into the shop after for some wine to take home :) worth the visit!
