La Tavernetta da Piero In Siracusa

Excellent welcome, in Italian, English and French. High-quality Sicilian cuisine.

It's a typical fish restaurant. Anyone who's eaten fish elsewhere in Sicily knows there are better options. The price/performance ratio is okay.

The staff is the highlight of this place; the guys are very courteous, especially the older gentleman who took care of us. The mixed fried fish is very good, but the first courses are mediocre. They should pay close attention to the restrooms; the bad smell permeates the dining room. The price is absolutely not worth what you get.

We've been recommended this place by several locals, and we understand why ! The seafood risotto was delicious so was the sardine spagetti. And the red wine ! + Great antmosphere with local decorations. I recommend to book in advance to make sure to have a table.

Nice, pleasant, you can feel the Sicilian atmosphere in the air, nice music in the background :) we recommend

Great place! Delicious eggplant pasta and swordfish. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they speak English too :)

Our bike tour driver Stefano ( Ecoriscio) recommended this place. We stoped for a small bite and thoroughly enjoyed misto fritto and patate fritte. Family run.

Open every day. Lunch on Monday 27 April 2026 Monday in April and still full of Italians! One half litre of house white at €7, one Spaghetti alle Vongole e Pistachio at €22 and one Linguine alle Mattalotte at €18 cost €56. Dinner on Saturday 25 April 2026 Filled with Italians with exception of a French couple who had a full litre of house white with their meal. My wife suggested that it might be their first drink of the day. I suggested that it might be their third. Respect! One half litre of house white at €7, one Spaghetti alle Vongole e Pistachio at €22 (loads of clams) and one Spigola alla Griglia at €18 with a contorni of Insalata Mista at €5 (big salad with lots of sliced tomatoes and black olives) cost €61. Lunch on Thursday 23 April 2026 Cold and cloudy today so we sat indoors. One half litre of house white at €7, one Pesce Spada Agrodolce at €16 and one Spigola alla Griglia at €18 cost €50. Lunch on Tuesday 20 May 2025 The first place we visit twice a year. One bottle of water, one litre of pretty good red wine at €12, one Pesce Spada alla Griglia (swordfish) at €16 and one Spigola alla Marinara (sea bass) at €16 cost €51. Dinner on Saturday 28 September 2024 This restaurant is always full of Italians so what does that say about the quality? We were still full from lunch so we only ordered one course each. One bottle of water, one litre of excellent white wine (in an attractive tall glass container which was a bit difficult to hold!) at €12, one Peace Spada alla Marinara (swordfish) at €15 and one Spigola al Vino Bianco (sea bass) at €15 cost €48. Next Spring I have to try the Parmigiana Melanzane. The staff knew that this was our last visit this Autumn so wished us a safe journey home. Lunch on Wednesday 25 September 2024 One bottle of water, one litre of great white wine at €12, one Caponata to share at €10, one Insalata Mista at €5, one Patatine Fritte at €4 and one Involtino Spada (rolls of stuffed and breaded swordfish) at €16 cost €52. We have booked an inside table for Saturday night! Lunch on Tuesday 24 September 2024 The first place we eat at when we have lunch in Siracusa. One bottle of water, two half litres of lovely cold white wine at €12, Insalata Verde at €4, Insalata Arance @ €5, Spada Agrodolce at €13 and Spada Marinara at €15 (because they had run out of Parmigiana Melanzane!) cost €55. Great food in a busy and winding narrow street where people read the menu and walk on. What is wrong with them? Dinner on Tuesday 14 May 2024 Busy outside and pretty busy inside so we were glad to have made reservations. One bottle of water, one litre of average red wine at €12 (next time stick with the wonderful white wine!), one Verdure Grigliate at €5, one Caponata at €9, one Pesce Spada alla Marinara (swordfish) at €15, one Spigola alla Grigliate (sea bass) at €15 cost €62. Really good value for money. If you have doubts, then look around at all the Italians dining at this restaurant. Lunch on Tuesday 14 May 2024 Open from 12.45 to 14.45 so we managed to get an outside table after travelling from Catania Airport! One bottle of water, one litre of excellent white wine at €12, one Insalata Verde at €4, one Insalata di Arance at €4, one Pesce Spada alla Griglia (swordfish) at €15 and one Bigoli alle Sarde (thick spaghetti with sardines) at €13 cost €54. We have reserved an inside table for tonight. Dinner on Tuesday 26 September 2023 Pretty busy for a very wet Tuesday night, with three large Italian families complete with children and babies. A bottle of water, a litre of house red at €12, two Insalata di Arance at €3 each, one Pesce Spada Agrodolce at €14 and one Paccheri Matalotta or pasta with fish of the day at €17 cost €54. Beautiful swordfish and properly prepared "al dente" pasta.

Everything was excellent, very kind staff!

We had dinner at this restaurant on a Wednesday. The service was quick, the fish was excellent, as were the fries and the tiramisu. I recommend it if you're ever in Syracuse!
