Clandestino ad Ortigia In Siracusa

Food quite good, but especially the starter, portions too small and high prices. Excellent service, helpful and kind

We booked a table on a quiet Sunday, in fact the place was not crowded. The staff welcomed us kindly and let us sit. I got a really good starter and thought the whole lunch could be good. Unfortunately I had to change my mind because the first ones weren't up to par. The first one I chose was a pasta with tomato and fish but this only tasted like sauce. It completely covered the knowledge of fish. The mixed fry on the other hand was completely without salt, unfortunately it doesn't have the same flavor and even by adding it the taste was not the same as the classic mixed fry that a person expects to eat.

Very elegant place. Great attention to customers and excellent quality dishes.

On the occasion of a couple's Valentine's Day dinner, I tasted this delicacy (see photo). In any case, a menu that is always fresh and full of revisitations. Everything was excellent, service, food, care and cleanliness.

A little expensive but quality.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL Located in the heart of Ortigia, "Il Clandestino" is a restaurant that manages to combine elegance and refinement in a welcoming and silent atmosphere, where from the first moment you perceive that the cuisine will live up to expectations. The restaurant is designed down to the smallest details, a true aesthetic jewel with a touch of class that creates the perfect setting for an extraordinary culinary experience. We were greeted by a friendly and professional waiter, who made our experience even more pleasant. The evening began with an entrée of fragrant scones. We ordered the linguine with cuttlefish ink with stracciatella and sea urchin pulp and the linguine with smoked aubergine cream, raw Sicilian DOP red prawns, mint and chopped Bronte PGI pistachios, accompanied by impeccable fried fish: crunchy and dry, which enhanced the freshness of the fish without being intrusive. The two courses of linguine were excellent, but it was the squid ink dish that left its mark. A masterpiece of flavors, where the sea urchin pulp recalled the beauty of the sea of ​​Ortigia with every bite. A detail that we really appreciated was the attentiveness of the waiter, who informed us of a possible delay in the dishes due to a table before us and, to make the wait more pleasant, he brought us a second small tasting: a delicious caramelized onion with garlic and mint cream, perfect balance of sweetness and freshness. Everything was accompanied by an excellent glass of white wine, which completed this sensorial experience. "Il Clandestino" is a restaurant that really deserves to be visited: excellence in the dishes, professionalism in the service and an atmosphere that invites you to enjoy every moment.

Off the streets full of tourists, nice environment. The food was excellent, everything very good and the service was attentive and never suffocating. Correct account.

Locale molto carino ed accogliente, sia dentro che fuori. La sera in cui siamo stati noi non era molto affollato, per cui si poteva conversare tranquillamente. La cena è stata buona, bei piatti cucinati bene. Conto allineato alla qualità grazie al coupon del 50% di The Fork, altrimenti direi un pochino alto, se paragonato ad altri ristoranti della stessa fascia che abbiamo frequentato durante la vacanza. In particolare mi sono sembrati un po' alti i prezzi dei vini, se non ricordo male nulla al di sotto dei 30€. In ogni caso abbiamo trascorso una piacevole serata.

Non ci sono parlare per descrivere l’eccellenza di questo ristorante… sono stato con mia moglie e mia figlia piccola su consiglio di un amico, abbiamo preso linguine con melanzane e crudo di pesce,poi linguine con sarde pinoli uvetta e mollica, a seguire un calamaro alla brace. Tutto veramente buono. Personale gentile ed accogliente! Complimenti
