Excellent Sicilian cuisine and equally excellent Japanese cuisine. Mix them if you want, but they don't do it. The dishes are good and authentic. Very fresh fish. Everything is excellent. Among the best in town. The manager, the chef's husband, is a really nice person and gives great advice. Try it.

Best place in Ortigia! Fish was very fresh, we really enjoyed our dinner, and honest price too. The octopus was amazing. Can’t wait to go back

This restaurant was recommended to us by our hotel and we are so pleased we took their advice. It is run by a charming couple and offers a fusion of Italian and Japanese dishes - we had both and it was all excellent quality and exceptionally good value for money. The location was perfect and the service was attentive without being intrusive - perfect. Would definitely recommend it and and will pay a return visit when we can.

The restaurant was suggested by the owner of our accommodation. She said it would be like eating at home, and it was! Very good! A restaurant frequented by locals, off the tourist trail. We went twice during our stay in Ortigia. The mussels in white wine and lemon, the homemade pasta, and the fresh fish and seafood are a must-try.
It's in our top 3 favorite restaurants in Sicily.

The place is magnificent, it's cool, facing the sea if the table is free. The fish is delicious. We often eat sushi in France. I've never eaten such good freshly prepared sushi and the owner, who also manages the service, was professional and patient so that we understood what we were eating. I highly recommend it.

This restaurant is run by a Japanese wife, Naoko, and her Italian husband.
After climbing the steep stairs to the second floor, you'll find a restaurant with a very nice atmosphere.
The view from the window is also wonderful 👍
The food was also very good, and the tuna caught here was exquisite. We enjoyed the Italian food, but other customers ordered boat-shaped platters and sushi.
The wife, who is the chef, is popular at the market, so you can be sure of the ingredients. The food was really delicious.
It's a restaurant I'd like to visit again when I'm in Ortigia. Although it's not in the photo, the frites were crispy and delicious.

A place to really discover. Ancient, serene and silent atmosphere, from the window you can see a very suggestive glimpse of the sea. The owner is an exquisite person, honest, friendly and efficient, takes all the orders and serves the tables quickly. The food is really good, rich and varied menu, dishes for all tastes, decidedly modest prices especially if compared to the quality of the food and the location. Just think that a few meters away there is a string of tourist and chaotic places that with exorbitant prices do not come close to the quality of the galley. In addition, the place has the particularity of being Italian-Japanese. Absolutely to try and discover. We will definitely return.

Traditional Sicilian fish menu, simple and reliable cuisine; a Japanese version is also available. Professional service from the owner Mr. Mario. Quiet environment, barrel vaults and sea view. Excellent fried food, excellent first courses, intriguing mixed fish appetizer of the house

My mother and daughter went on a trip to Sicily at the end of April. I visited La Cambusa, which was introduced on a Japanese person's blog, after making a reservation via email from their website.
Apparently it starts at 7:30pm, which is around the time you can see the sunset at the end of April. Cheers with white wine while watching the sunset from a seat by the window!
For the food, I ordered an assortment of appetizers and orange-flavored tagliatelle with octopus and basil! The appetizers are the best and are the best! The curly tagliatelle noodles mix well with the sauce and are delicious! Highly recommended!
I wasn't planning on ordering it, but I found the seafood bowl in the second half of the menu. Since I am stationed in India, I haven't had a chance to eat seafood for over half a year, so with the consent of my mother who came from Japan (lol), I ordered it with miso soup.
The highlight of this restaurant was this seafood bowl😭The warm vinegared rice had just the right sweetness of the mellow vinegar, and on top of that was freshly caught seafood such as sweet shrimp. The soy sauce, wasabi, and plates are all Japanese!
It was so delicious, I said thank you so much over and over again.
The caponata and almond ice cream were also delicious!
Another nice point is that the amount of food on the plate is Japanese size. Even though I ate a lot, it was reasonably priced and I was really satisfied.
If you are a Japanese tourist and are a little tired of Italian food, or if you want to eat delicious seafood bowl, please come and visit us.
I felt that the owners and their husbands were both very kind people. I would love to go again.
