Bar Franzo' In Priolo gargallo

10/03/2025: What a wonderful evening! This was a recommendation from our hotel… and turned out to be one of our favorite dinners yet in Italy! We received a warm welcome from the owner at the door and were promptly seated. We shared a salad to start the meal-chopped lettuce, cherry tomatoes, dried tomatoes, wonderful Kalamata olives, and coarsely grated cheese with olive oil and balsamic vinegar-fresh, simple, and delicious! I had ravioli with shrimp and pistachio sauce and my husband had spaghetti with clams (that he had been craving since our arrival in Italy). Both dishes were perfection! We were too full for dessert but could not leave without a cannoli that we had seen pass through the restaurant to another table, so got one to go. And got a glass of limoncello to end the evening. (The owner kept our glasses filled,) We have only 2 nights in Siracuse and will probably be back here again tomorrow night for another memorable dinner!

Spaghetti alla Siracusana ed alici fritte su letto di cipolla in agrodolce…. Servizio professionale, cortese ad attento. Prezzo adeguato.
