Taberna Sveva In

it's so popular that even w reservation had to wait around 10'. was worth it

During my short stay on the island of Sicily, I had the opportunity to dine in several places, and I can say that this spot on the island of Ortigia was the best. I was impressed by how getting away from the touristy places always proves me right. The gnocchi were a 10/10! I will definitely return.

We came by chance and did not regret it at all. We drank Premium Lager beer, pure malt. Created by 15 master brewers from Birrificio Messina, based on the Messina brewing tradition. Light color, compact foam, balanced and slightly aromatic taste. We ate delicious food, and in the end the bill for 2 adults and a child was 60 euros. I recommend it, you will not regret it.

While on vacation in Syracuse, we had the pleasure of trying this restaurant at the end of the Ortogia peninsula. It was a wonderful discovery. Everything was perfect, from the service to the food. We were delighted with our evening. Don't hesitate to go there.

A truly good restaurant! Excellent food, very professional service, and a fair price.

Had a fantastic dinner here! I appreciated the kind recommendations from the staff and the nice playlist they had on

Review – Taverna Sveva, Siracusa We went to Taverna Sveva during a family evening in Ortigia, it was a pleasant evening, the staff is young, very kind and very connected to the territory. They explained the dishes to us with enthusiasm, telling us where the ingredients came from and giving us careful advice, without ever being intrusive. We ate very well: dishes prepared with very fresh and quality products, perfectly cooked fish, and authentic flavors. Even our children (who are not always easy to please!) appreciated everything. It is the kind of place that leaves you with a good memory, not only for the food, but for the experience as a whole. You can see that there is care, love for the cuisine and a strong bond with Sicily. Highly recommended for those looking for a genuine place, where you can eat well and feel warmly welcomed.

There was something weird about the service. I think they did not like us, our family of four! Waiter was somewhat impatient when we ordered. Then he felt we needed to order appetizers. Which we did not mind, even though we were not that hungry. Food was simple and delicious. Menu is very concise, the way we like it. We got Aperol Spritz glasses with our bottle of wine. After we finished our main course, our son really liked the pasta and we asked if we can order another half portion (because we read online that they offer half portions too) and the waiter started an argument why just one person was eating more, and he asked inside and the came back and said they would not do that. Anyway, just a bit of a weird experience. Not sure what we did wrong on our end.

No nos importa esperar buena comida, de hecho esperamos hacerlo. Sin embargo, esperamos unos 40 minutos para que se tomara nuestra orden - ni siquiera nos preguntaron si nos gustaría pedir una bebida. Es cierto que el restaurante estaba ocupado, pero nadie excepto el jefe parecía capaz de tomar órdenes. Cuando llegó la comida era muy bueno pero la espera/ser ignorado era inaceptable.

Siamo tornati anche quest’anno a Taverna Sveva. Emanuele, il Padrone di casa, filosofo, ci ha accolto con la consueta gentilezza e disponibilità. Ottimi gli antipasti. Pesce freschissimo, preparato in modo diverso. Tutto ottimo. Abbiamo bevuto dell’ottimo zibibbo. Rapporto qualità prezzo eccellente.
