Taberna Sveva In

So, necessary premise: the food is excellent and the location allows you to savor the true essence of dining in the streets of Syracuse. However, there were some mistakes that left a bad taste in our mouths and that make me say "what a shame" and that certainly leave me with the desire to return, given that a bad evening can happen to anyone. After receiving the starter, we waited about an hour to have the first courses, which only arrived for two of us, while two others had to wait another twenty minutes or so. This wait was caused by the fact that, by mistake, the two remaining dishes (homemade alla norma and homemade sword and aubergines) were brought to the table next to ours, which had been occupied after us, in fact the same occupants of that table were incredulous that the dishes had already arrived. And, coincidentally, they were the same two dishes that we also ordered. The inconvenience was recognized by the waiters who immediately apologized, saying that the dishes were being prepared. Once the dishes arrived we noticed that only the norm had been cooked using homemade pasta, while for swordfish and aubergines another type of pasta had clearly been used, very similar to striped celery (as can be seen from the photos). In itself this is not a serious problem, but it is clear that if I order a dish I expect to find something that corresponds exactly to what is written and not a variant not explicitly expressed. In general it seems that the place is worth it, we probably weren't lucky.

Very positive experience! We came across the Swabian tavern by chance, while we were walking, and we were happy to stop. Excellent food and impeccable service!

A truly delightful place, quiet atmosphere, friendly staff, fast service. We enjoyed Federico II starters and octopus Luciana which I highly recommend, homemade swordfish... a real delight. Don't miss the cannoli... top ricotta.

Excellent value for money recommended

Outdoor space, tables spaced far enough apart and therefore very airy, which in this very hot period is absolutely a plus. The menu was very interesting, we ate very well at reasonable prices, the starters and first courses were excellent, we didn't have the second course but we recommend the cannoli for dessert!

Delicious food. and the attention

Nice place, the fish was fresh, but we expected more homemade cuisine and more attentive and convivial service! It's fine for a casual dinner but I wouldn't return.
