Ristorante La Cambusa In

Very friendly staff, generous portions, delicious food!! Lovely place, would definitely recommend

What a special treat. My husband and I were recommended this restaurant and wow! It was amazing. A true gem. Great Food, service, and atmosphere. It was definitely a meal for our family to remember. We didn’t feel like a tourist and we didn’t feel rushed. It was just what we were looking for.

One of the few places left in Ortigia that truly values ​​food. Excellent value for money. Well-cooked, no-frills food, fresh fish, and the occasional Japanese specialty.

Visited on January 15, 2026. They're open even during the winter off-season. The entrance isn't particularly conspicuous (the door is a bit heavy, and the restaurant is up a flight of stairs on the first floor, or what would be called the second floor in Japan), so be careful. I ordered sashimi (served in a boat-shaped platter like a Japanese inn!), shrimp carpaccio, seafood risotto, two small bottles of beer, and a glass of wine for €55. At the exchange rate at the time, that came to about ¥10,500, but given the weak yen, it was excellent value for money. Japanese food abroad often has its drawbacks, but this restaurant, with its female chef, boasts fresh ingredients and outstanding flavor! Of course, the local cuisine is also delicious. The menu is in Japanese. The owner is native Italian, but a bit shy and doesn't speak any Japanese. However, in a good way, she was diligent, visiting each table, clearing away empty plates and glasses, and checking for additional orders. I imagine it gets quite crowded during peak season, but if you want to enjoy seafood in Syracuse, this is a restaurant you should definitely visit.

The tempura and seafood bowls also looked delicious. The raw shrimp was excellent.

This place is almost hidden away in the Aretusa Promenade. I really appreciated the owner's kindness and the quality of the food. I'll definitely be back!

High quality and a casual atmosphere. Excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

In a secluded spot near the Piazza del Duomo, this is a very nice restaurant run with passion. Good food and fast service. The service needs updating.

Mario is superlative in the dining room, in the kitchen there is a couple of Japanese chefs, the possibility of eating excellent Italian and Japanese food (very fresh fish).

Great hidden spot. Nice mix of food on the menu. Friendly service.
