Pizzeria Paper Moon di Ficara Michele In Siracusa

Abbiamo avuto il piacere di visitare questo ristorante due volte durante il nostro soggiorno in Italia – la prima volta è stata un’esperienza fantastica, la seconda purtroppo molto deludente. Durante la nostra prima visita abbiamo assaggiato una classica pizza Margherita e posso dire sinceramente che è stata una delle migliori pizze che abbiamo mai mangiato. L'impasto era sottile e perfettamente cotto, la salsa di pomodoro ricca e saporita, la mozzarella fresca e ben sciolta – semplice, ma assolutamente perfetta! Quel giorno siamo stati serviti da una signora più anziana, molto gentile e simpatica, che sembrava essere la proprietaria. Si prendeva cura di fire tavolo, parlava con i clienti e creava un'atmosfera davvero accogliente e familiare. Ci siamo sentiti coccolati e benvenuti. Anche il locale ci ha colpiti positivamente: spazioso, ben arredato, con tanti clienti – un segno di qualità. I bagni erano pulitissimi e profumati, un dettaglio importante e non semper scontato. Pieni di entusiasmo siamo tornati qualche giorno dopo, questa volta durante la settimana. Il ristorante era praticamente vuoto e siamo stati serviti da una ragazza giovane, purtroppo poco coinvolta, fredda e quasi infastidita. Abbiamo ordinato dei primi piatti: uno di noi ha preso la pasta ai frutti di mare (niente di speciale), l'altro ha scelto la carbonara al tartufo, consigliata dal pizzaiolo. Ed è qui che è arrivata la grande delusione. La carbonara costava ben 18 euros has era davvero pessima: il sugo si era completamente “stracciato”, sembrava una frittata con pasta. Il gusto era sgradevole e il tartufo praticamente inesistente. Piatto immangiabile, assolutamente non consigliato. Nel complesso, la prima esperienza merita 5 stelle – per la pizza eccezionale, la gentilezza della signora e l'ambiente accogliente. La seconda, purtroppo, ci ha lasciato un gross ricordo, soprattutto per la carbonara e il servizio poco curato. Alla fine, diamo 3 stelle nella speranza che sia stato solo un giorno sfortunato. Tuttavia, se passate da queste parti, vale sicuramente la pena fermarsi almeno per una pizza – lì sono davvero dei maestri! We had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant twice during our stay in Italy - the first time we were delighted, the second time, unfortunately, less so. On our first visit, we stumbled upon a true gem – the classic Margherita pizza, which was simply sensational! The thin, perfectly baked crust, the vibrant homemade tomato sauce, the fresh mozzarella – everything worked perfectly. It was one of the best pizzas we've ever had – simple, yet bursting with flavor. We were served by an elderly woman who was very friendly, polite, and always smiling. She seemed like the owner or someone very connected to the place – she chatted with guests, offered advice, and created a wonderful, homey atmosphere. She made a wonderful impression on us as well – large, spacious, tastefully decorated, and full of guests, further underscoring its popularity. The bathrooms are also worth mentioning – spotlessly clean, fragrant, and well-maintained – which, unfortunately, isn't always the norm, even in Italy. Delighted, we returned a few days later, this time during the week. Unfortunately, our second visit proved disappointing. The restaurant was almost empty, and we were served by a young woman – unfortunately, she was unengaged and rude, giving the impression she was there as a punishment. We ordered pasta – I chose the seafood one, and the other person had the carbonara with truffles, recommended by the pizzaiolo. And here was the biggest disappointment – the carbonara cost a whopping 18 euros and was simply not good. The sauce was completely overpowering, and instead of a creamy finish, it was scrambled eggs with pasta. The truffles were completely undetectable. The dish was inedible – unfortunately, I absolutely do not recommend it. In summary – the first visit was A+ and we will remember it for a long time, mainly thanks to the delicious pizza and the charming older waitress. The second, however, left a bad taste in the mouth, mainly due to the terrible carbonara and poor service.

Family-run place, very good pizzas and a nice environment. Very friendly owners who are attentive to customer needs. Highly recommended

We happened upon PaperMoon during an evening in Cassibile… and it was a wonderful surprise! The pizza is delicious: light dough, well cooked and really fresh ingredients. The place is simple but very welcoming and the staff is really kind and helpful. They make you feel at ease right away, as if you were among friends. The prices are also excellent, more than fair considering the quality and the generous portions. There is also a nice menu with many options, not just pizza, and attention to the little ones too. In short: you eat well, you feel good and you spend the right amount. We will definitely be back!
