Superb authentic culinary experience off the beaten tracks in Siracuse. Staff super attentive, cosy place and exquisite food. The wine list is all Sicilian wines and we got recommended a really nice one.

I was in Siracusa for way too long before i discovered this restaurant. The best food and wines i've had in the city, paired with the best service from the kindest people.
You have to do yourself a favor and have at least one meal here.

A charming place, not only for the good food, but also for the warm welcome and kindness of Kiri, the owner.
Smiling, fast, and attentive!
I love going for dinner, not just expecting to eat well, but also feeling the kindness and thoughtfulness.
Highly recommended!

We were disappointed with our dining experience here. We ordered the spaghetti with seafood, which was unfortunately the worst we've had during our time in Sicily.
The risotto with seafood had the same issues - the seafood appeared undercooked and had a raw texture.The only dish that met expectations was the simple pasta with tomato sauce, though this is typically one of the most straightforward dishes to prepare well.
Given the poor quality of the seafood dishes, I cannot recommend this restaurant to other diners.

I had a lovely time at the restaurant. The food was amazing 💘 my first Italian experience in a restaurant and it was the best choice I could have made. Not only for the food but also for the beauty of the place. The decoración was georgeous and made a better experience. Also Kiri and Sophie were so nice with me. If you are in Ortigia you have to visit Restroscena , I totally recommend it ✨

The Retroscena restaurant struck me right from the outside entrance, where some jewels created by the owner herself stood out.
I chose three courses that really satisfied me for the plating and quality of the raw materials: mixed salad with avocado, peaches... swordfish with puree and deconstructed cannoli.
Small environment with pleasantly retro furnishings, attentive service. Recommended!

A pleasant surprise in the heart of Syracuse. At first glance, it may be disconcerting, as it's also an accessories boutique with precious pieces, but just sit down to discover a charming corner where elegance permeates every detail.
The decor is carefully curated, creating an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere. The service is like no other: attentive, friendly, and with a natural class that elevates the entire experience.
The cuisine is no slouch either. We shared a fresh salad and a perfectly cooked grilled Orata with vegetables. Dessert—a house specialty whose name we've forgotten—was a sweet and unforgettable ending.
We washed down dinner with a good Prosecco, toasting to a special evening and a perfect vacation. Without a doubt, the icing on the cake for our trip to Sicily. A must-do.

Notre restaurant coup de cœur à Ortigia, nous y sommes allés deux fois avec nos fils.
Le service est impeccable, les plats sont délicieux et copieux, la décoration est raffinée.
Allez-y, vos papilles vous diront merci !!!
Dit restaurant is fantastisch. Het interieur is smaakvol ingericht en de bediening is supervriendelijk. We dronken een lekkere fles Frappato (rode wijn), kregen brood met heerlijke olijfolie en dan namen we lekkere pasta en nadien superlekkere zwaardvis. De gerechten zijn een tikje origineel en heel smakelijk. Goede prijs kwaliteitsverhouding. Ook willen ze voor kinderen een apart gerecht maken. Absolute aanrader als je iets verfijnder wil eten zonder te duur te zijn.
