La Tortuga Pub In Giardini-naxos

A couple of parents with their two daughters ate at the restaurant every day for a whole week, and we felt right at home. Thank you all so much, see you next year.

The food is great. I can’t say anything bad about it. But, the service is catastrophic. When i got to Sicily, the first day of my stay, I came here with my family. We were the only customers in the restaurant. So everything was impeccable. The food was more than delicious and the service was good. But then, we came back a few days later. The restaurant was almost full. The three of us came, we asked for a table next to the window (the table is for four people), the first staff member that approached us, said that he will clean it and that we can sit there. By the time he did that, some other stuff member came and he putted us on a table for three in the middle of the restaurant. We sat there and waited to order. 15 minutes passed by, and NO ONE came to serve us. Someone finally appeared with a menu, when we decided what we want to eat we waived to the waiter to come. He came, but, as I was saying what i want to eat he said “One moment please” and went to talk to someone. He didn’t come back to see if that is all that we want to eat. We ordered 2 pizzas. I didn’t have time to tell him if I want to drink something. He didn’t even ask. After 10 minutes the pizzas came. There was no room for them on the table, so some smart waiter thought that it is a good idea to put the plates with pizza on top of the plates that were already on the table. She putted it like that and left. I had to call someone else to make space on the table. They fixed it by adding two side tables for us. We ate, then i asked for a check. We waited, and waited, for another 15 minutes. We were pissed! I saw the waiter and asked where is it, and then he started apologizing. The check finally came 5 minutes after that. Then we had to wait for them to come and get it. That was additional 10 minutes. My whole evening was spent on waiting!!! They were to busy with the other customers and they didn’t care for us. The waiter was running around all the time. Even when he was talking with me, he was leaving in the middle of our conversation. That is just rude. I was about to recommend this place to a lot of people, but, after this TERRIBLE experience I will only say the worst things. You are lucky to have such a good cook, who is busting your grade. But this is really bad.

Pizza was the next level. They proved reputation that Italy has for this type of food. Giovanni was our host, he was supper hospitable and friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for top-notch pizza.

The service and food here is impeccable. The chef (yes, there’s a single chef in the kitchen) cooks the food as though he’s cooking for his family. His cooking is art, it brings joy to my soul when i eat the food he’s made. There are so many great places to eat in Giardini Naxos, make sure to eat here at least once (we came back a 2nd time. It was that good!)

A wonderful, atmospheric place. 🔝🔝 Good music. Family atmosphere. 🥰 Greetings from Mr. "PizzaMan" - delicious pizza 🫶

Salmon salad pleasant but could have done with a bit more salmon . The chicken ala forno not quite what was expected but tasty. Service good & friendly. Price reasonable
