Delicious, generous, and fresh cuisine, ideally located in the center. We had the seafood spaghetti and a carbonara. Friendly staff. I recommend it.

Closed Tuesday
Dinner on Wednesday 21 May 2025
Quite busy but we had booked and were greeted warmly.
Quite full today after pizza for lunch.
One bottle of water, one Pesce Spada alla Marinara at €16, one Pesce Spada alla Griglia at €15 and only half a litre of lovely white wine at €7.50 cost €45.50.
Quite embarrassed at the half litre of wine as we're English, sorry they are closed for five days so no more visits this Spring and we are regulars so we got a discount!
Dinner on Monday 30 September 2024
Very busy with a long queue of people (who hadn't bothered to make a reservation) waiting "patiently" in line.
We have encountered several French and German groups this past week.
Where did they learn to queue rather than rudely push to the front?
One large bottle of water, one litre of lovely white wine at €13, one Caponata to share at €7 and two Filetto di Spada (a swordfish fillet in a pistachio crust with slices of oranges = YUM) at €17 cost €61.
Dinner on Friday 27 September 2024
Not quite so busy but still very popular.
One large bottle of water, one litre of lovely white wine at €13, one Caponata to share at €7, one Filetto di Spada (a swordfish fillet in a pistachio crust with slices of oranges = YUM) at €17 and one Spigola alla Griglia (sea bass) at €16 cost €60.
Dinner on Wednesday 25 September 2024
Quite busy but our table in the corner was reserved.
One large bottle of water, one litre of lovely white wine at €13, one wonderful Peace Spada alla Marinara at €16 and one Pacheri Ortigia (a local pasta dish) at €17 cost €53.
We didn't order starters because we were already so full!
But next time maybe the Caponata at €7 and the Verdure Grigliata at €6.
Dinner on Saturday 18 May 2024.
We were seated and served water immediately but I (foolishly) asked for the wine list from Jasmine.
Even though the house wine is really lovely!
One litre of house white at €13, two starters of Insalata Mista (excellent mixture of lettuce, tomatoes, radicchio and fennel) at €5 each, one Pesce Spada alla Marinara (a beautiful large piece of swordfish with cherry tomatoes and olives) at €16 and one Tagliatelle alla Siracusa (ribbons of pasta with tomatoes, basil, capers and oregano) at €13 cost £59.
I promised to listen to Jasmine regarding the wine selection this September!
Dinner on Thursday 16 May 2024
We remembered each other from last year immediately!
One bottle of water, one litre of lovely house white at €13 (after bringing us a half litre. Hang on! We're English!), one Verdure Grigliate at €6, one Caponata at €7, one Pesce Spada alla Grigliate at €15 (this year with a marvellous accompaniment of dressed tomatoes plus lettuce and fennel) and one Spigola alla Griglia (sea bass) at €16 cost €64.
Dinner on Monday 2 October 2023
Very busy tonight but we got seated at our reserved table immediately.
Water, a good litre of house white @ €12, two times Insalata Mista @ €5 each, mains of Paccheri alla Norma (large cylinders of pasta with aubergines and ricotta cheese) @ €13 and Spigola alla Griglia (grilled sea bass) at €15 plus free after dinner digestifs (carob and orange zest) cost €55.
We said goodbye to Jasmine and Simone with the promise of return visits next May.
They are so nice and treat us like welcome friends!

Feeling at home 1,400 km from home.
Tavernetta Uno da Simone is a welcoming restaurant where you would never tire of returning. Simone is delicious like his food, my husband, our baby and I stayed 4 days in Syracuse and we always dined at his place. He won us over from the phone call to make the reservation, an attentive, helpful, friendly and humble person who shows in every way the love for his work and his restaurant. The dishes are truly delicious, served with care and with combinations that fully highlight every flavor, even the most delicate. A very respectable wine list where even the house wine satisfies the most demanding palates. We will definitely not fail to return to enjoy his menu!
Thank you Simone! With love, Nicole, Matteo and Leonardo.

We visited at random, without reservation, and ate paccheri in a fish/pumpkin sauce. Unexpectedly delicious; a highlight of our trip

El servicio fue atento y personalizado con un anfitrión y propietario muy amable. La comida era promedio y seriamente sobre - salado. La relación calidad-precio estaba bien con un menú de algún rango.

Restaurante tiene un montón de comentarios agradables y positivos. En cuanto al precio, está en el rango medio. La gente y el personal son amables, pero poco rara vez. Bastante tranquilo y no muy proactivo, pero amable manera. Comida sabia sin quejas. Clase media alta.
