Antica Locanda In Siracusa

Everything was delicious, the atmosphere was refined, the staff were very friendly, and the quality/price ratio was excellent. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant in Ortigia. Amazing food made with love by the Chef Mirko. Very friendly and professional staff. We spent 3 days in Siracusa and we dined here twice. The Cannolo scomposto is an experience to try. Thank you for your great hospitality.

Excellent restaurant in Ortigia! The restaurant is located in the center but on a very quiet side street, away from the chaos of the main square. The menu is seafood-focused, with classic dishes and a few more unique options. The owner makes delicious homemade gluten-free pasta. I tried a scampi pasta dish with gluten-free pasta, which was absolutely delicious!!! For the main course, we tried grilled fish, which was also delicious. Prices are average for first courses, around €15 for classic dishes and up to €20 for more elaborate ones, like those with sea urchins. Second courses average €18. The staff was incredibly friendly; both the owner and the waitress made us feel at home and made the lunch enjoyable. Highly recommended; I would definitely return if I were in the area.

A well-kept and welcoming restaurant, with excellent food and very fresh, well-cooked fish. Excellent service.

We visited this restaurant and, overall, we had a great time. The atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, the service attentive without being intrusive, and the dishes were tasty and prepared with quality ingredients. The only area that could be improved is the wine selection: the list is a bit limited for the restaurant's caliber and could offer a few more labels, especially local ones. Nothing that detracts from the experience, but it would be a significant added value. In any case, a pleasant dinner and a place definitely worth a visit.

Welcoming place, excellent raw materials well prepared and served with professionalism.

We had a wonderful evening here. We booked online, everything went smoothly, and we got a table right away. The waiter was very friendly and helpful, and the chef himself even came out a couple of times to check if everything was alright. We felt completely comfortable and welcome, and the food was truly excellent.

I have come to this restaurant the last 2 nights since coming to Siracusa. Mirko and his people have treated my wife and I like family. The food is unbelievable.....the best Burrata in Sicily....I have had the Sea Bream served table side as well all the crusted swordfish....both the best I've ever eaten. So, this may sound like most reviews....but Mirko has stopped at our table explaining which wine, which fish, which dish as prime and segundi.....and served them with love. Tomorrow night, as my wife and niece go to a cooking class I plan on eating there again as a single...knowing that a feast is in store. This made Sicily.....

A welcoming and well-maintained restaurant, perfect for a relaxed dinner. The fish is truly top-quality, fresh, and cooked with attention to flavor. The chef's recommended dishes are absolutely worth it: you can see the experience and passion in every course. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful, ready to put you at ease and guide you through your choices. The location is also very convenient, right in front of a large parking lot, making it easy to get there by car without stress. Highly recommended for those looking for good seafood in a pleasant atmosphere.

I was truly impressed with this place! Besides the food—which was excellent from start to finish—I was amazed by the attention to detail, especially in the bathrooms: they were stocked with sanitary napkins, wipes, baby powder, and moisturizer… something rarely found in restaurants, and which demonstrates great care and attention to customer service. The appetizers were delicious, the spaghetti with scampi was spectacular, and the tuna with caramelized red onion was simply perfect. A super positive experience in every way—I'll definitely be back! ❤️
