30/06/2025: Amazing food and exceptional wine served by the lovely Sylvia - my husband and I both had a lovely first meal in Siracusa.
We both had pasta; my husband had ravioli with tomato and basil pesto with almonds and I had tagliolini neri with wild fennel pesto and anchovies - the pasta was cooked to perfection and everything was seasoned perfectly - we also had a fennel and orange salad - delightful and delicious.
We were recommended white wine by Sylvia - it was amazing - 6 euros a glass
The desserts were triumphant too - my husband had a cannoli and I had a chocolate panna cotta .
The setting outside is beatiful in a charming old square . Service was very quick and fun - Sylvia was lovejy.
Some reviews mention sustainable crockery - we think that is to be applauded 👏- wine is served in a proper big glass - it’s only the water that is served in paper cups.
All very reasonable in cost - not expensive at all and we hope to return for another wonderful dining experience.
As someone who cooks alot at home ( I even have a go at homemade pasta ) I can highly recommend here - you won’t be disappointed
28/06/2025: 🇮🇹 A young pearl in the heart of Ortigia - Colapesce
A beautiful discovery in Ortigia! Colapesce is a young restaurant but already full of character. The reception was warm: the girl and the guys who served us are nice, available and can advise with precision and sincerity. You immediately perceive that it is a young team, which puts its heart into what it does.
The handmade pasta is really excellent, the dishes are carefully prepared with fresh ingredients and authentic taste. It is a place where you can go with confidence, because you eat well, you are treated with kindness and you feel the sincere desire to offer a pleasant experience.
The only negative (which, however, does not depend on them): the restaurant next door, unfortunately, ruins the atmosphere a little with loud music and noisy ways that disturb those looking for a quiet moment in Colapesce. It's a shame, because the Colapesce team deserves support, respect and silence to continue to grow and offer the best.
Go there, support them, and be won over by their enthusiasm and their cuisine. 💙
🇫🇷 A young pearl in the heart of Ortigia - Colapesce
A great discovery in Ortigia! Colapesce is a small, young restaurant but already full of character. The welcome was warm: the young girl and boys who served us are friendly, available and give precise and sincere advice. You immediately feel that it is a young team, which puts its heart into what it does.
The artisanal pastas are excellent, the dishes are carefully prepared with fresh ingredients and a real authentic taste. It is a place where you can go with complete confidence, because you eat well, you are treated well, and you feel their sincere desire to offer a great experience.
Only downside (which does not depend on them): the restaurant right next door, unfortunately, spoils the atmosphere a bit with too loud music and a noisy team that disturbs the tranquility of Colapesce's customers. It's a shame, because the Colapesce team deserves support, respect and a bit of calm to continue to grow and give the best.
Go there, support them, and let yourself be seduced by their enthusiasm and their cuisine 💙
🇧🇷 A young joy in the heart of Ortigia – Colapesce
A wonderful discovery in Ortigia! O Colapesce is a young restaurant, but already full of personality. The reception was warm: the girl and the boys who attended us are friendly, attentive and give accurate and sincere advice. Dá pra sentir logo de cara que é a young team that does everything com o coração.
The artisanal dough is excellent, the dishes are well prepared, with fresh ingredients and an authentic flavor. It's a place you can trust: come-se bem, ése bem tratado, and you notice the sincere desire to offer a good experience.
The only negative point (which doesn't depend on them): the restaurant next door, unfortunately, is a bit disturbing because of the loud music and a noisy staff that makes Colapesce's customers uncomfortable. It's a shame, because the Colapesce team deserves support, respect and a bit of silence to continue growing and offering the best.
Go, let's support, and let's be conquered by their enthusiasm and by the food 💙
