The oldest bar in the renowned ancient city of Syracuse. The Viola bar is like a heritage monument, and its layout is in keeping with its setting. The staff is very professional, and the outdoor veranda is beautiful and quaint.

Nice little spot to start your day
A charming café located at the entrance of Ortigia—perfect for a morning coffee and croissant. It’s a good option to kick off your day with a quick and relaxing stop. The coffee was nice, and while the croissant wasn’t the best I’ve ever had, it was still a pleasant experience overall. A cozy and friendly place for a short break before exploring the area.

Viola - Gelati e Caffè dal 1936 is hands down the best gelato and espresso experience I’ve had in Sicily so far. The quality is unmatched - the gelato is rich, creamy, and full of flavor, clearly made with care and tradition. The espresso? Perfectly pulled, smooth, and strong - exactly what you’d expect from a place with such a long-standing history.
What makes it even better is the price: just €5.30 for both! Incredible value for top-tier quality. The atmosphere is charming, and the staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the whole experience.
If you’re in Syracuse, do not miss this place. A true gem.

Nice stop... we were looking for a quiet bar and we found it... The waitress who welcomed us at the table was very nice and kind... We also heard her speak Spanish with excellent command... fair prices and friendliness are what I'm looking for!
