I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Siracusa

15/11/2025: Unacceptable Service and Poor Professionalism Our visit to Bar Nazionale this Saturday morning, for a family reunion, was marred by an instance of poor professionalism on the part of a waitress. A relative of mine, originally from Southern Italy, requested a simple coffee served in a glass and received a dismissive response: "What a strange request." Although the customer pointed out that the request was not unusual, the waitress insisted in an arrogant tone, suggesting that coffee in a glass was a custom limited to "her area," demonstrating a complete lack of courtesy. Regardless of who is technically correct, a fundamental principle of customer service is that staff should never argue or argue about a customer's legitimate request, but should instead try to accommodate them. For the record and to inform the staff: drinking coffee in a glass is not an oddity, but a common taste preference. Glass changes the visual experience, the consistency of the crema, and the temperature of the drink compared to ceramic. Glass allows you to admire the coffee, its thick, dense crema, and can promote a more "direct" and immediate tasting sensation. However, it cools faster, while the cup retains heat longer. In short: a very disappointing experience due to inadequate and contentious service.

19/10/2025: From the Modena Apennines, between September, October, and November 2025, we've been and will be in Arzignano. We arrived at Caffè Nazionale by pure chance, and immediately noticed a beautiful atmosphere with wonderful people, both at the outdoor tables and at the bar inside: extremely kind, courteous, polite, friendly, cordial, and extremely helpful; always smiling, which never hurts; in fact, it welcomes and captivates. Currently, we only visit the establishment during brunch hours, and I must say that the menu is well-prepared and appetizing; the items we've ordered have never disappointed. The price... for coffee and other drinks, it's in line with other establishments, while the brunch prices might seem medium-high, but I prefer to describe them as spot-on and in line with the quality of the food served and the service provided. I will continue to visit Caffè Nazionale whenever I'm in the area, hoping to be able to try the Bistro menu as well. Well done, everyone.

27/05/2025: I have known the Spiga D'oro bakery for 17 years, I live nearby and I always buy bread, breakfast or various sweets there, the food is really delicious. The staff is serious about the customers and is always very kind and with a smile on their face, always ready to help you, not to mention the owner's wife, Mrs. Stefania, she is always present and also ready to help with her wonderful smile. I recommend trying the Spiga D'oro bakery at least once.

25/05/2025: The best baker in town. Warm bread in the morning and in the evening, pizzas, focaccias, and scacce as if made at home, excellent biscuits, fresh pasta, ravioli with ricotta always fresh, granitas and brioches… superior quality food.

18/10/2025: Yesterday we tried your Pistacchio and Limone Gelato - it was amazing. We will come today again to try additional tastes. Promised!

17/10/2025: Superb. Amazing place, full of culinary possibilities. I recommend the sweet poke, a dish with a crepe base, ice cream, sauces, sprinkles, and various sweets. Gaia and Andrea are amazing. I was greeted with a smile and kindness, and I enjoyed everything more. 10+

25/10/2025: Ok food, but overpriced. At least some items. 6 Euros for a small bowl of nothing but tomatoes? The chicken was really good though.

18/10/2025: We ordered a takeout pizza for Inter's Champions League final against PSG. The restaurant was packed, and there were a river of customers rushing back to watch the second half of the match on the giant screen outside. After seven minutes, we left with our hot pizzas in hand, just in time to not miss a single minute of the game. The pizza and ingredients were excellent, like few other times, and the service and organization I wish we had in the north. Congratulations!

15/09/2025: The meal was good, but the price of the mozzarella and tomato salad was a bit high. It's a shame there weren't any pizzas or shellfish.

14/09/2025: Good location... the outside area needs some work... good service with lots of staff but... two [corrected] stuffed calamari for 26 euros, no way. Sorry.

11/10/2025: I went out for dinner in the evening and had the 8-course tasting menu – this review is based on a Michelin-oriented assessment, meaning it focuses on perfection in the cuisine, service, wine pairing, and overall experience. What was good: * The meal overall was very successful. Technically masterful, creative ideas, and a good selection of ingredients. * The "salute to molecular gastronomy" with the olive bursting in the mouth and releasing a very intense flavor was particularly impressive. A moment that added character to the evening. * The service was generally friendly and attentive. There were moments where details were spot on. What was less convincing: * The portions were rather small in places, even for gourmet cuisine. This meant that you didn't always have the opportunity to fully appreciate the flavor of a course in its entirety – which is a shame if you expect many small nuances. * The "hamburger" interpretation of Sicilian dishes: The idea is appealing, but the burger bun was so dominant that it overpowered the other flavors. The balance suffered as a result. Wine Pairing / Sommelier: * One of the bottles of wine in the pairing was almost empty, and only a very small amount was poured. It seemed to us that more should have been poured, but the sommelier never appeared again. Only after asking the waitress did we learn that the originally planned wine was no longer available. The restaurant manager finally intervened and had us served a very delicious replacement wine, which was a positive moment. Unfortunately, we had to explain ourselves three times, which was unnecessarily awkward for such an obvious matter. Overall, the amount of wine poured was relatively small—especially compared to the Duomo in Ragusa. The sommelier barely maintained eye contact, seemed distant, at times uninterested in her own presentation, and somewhat above the guests. Overall, rather unpleasant for a Michelin-starred restaurant—I would have preferred more passion for wine. Perhaps she was having a bad day, which I certainly grant everyone. Compared to Duomo (Ragusa-Ibla, Chef: Ciccio Sultano, a two-Michelin-starred restaurant), the service at Crossificcio falls somewhat short overall. That's not to say Crossificcio is bad—but compared to a restaurant like Duomo, there's still some room for improvement, especially in terms of service and wine pairing. Summary & Rating Crossificcio offers a good to very good tasting menu with some very strong moments, including the molecular greeting. The cuisine is creative and meticulous, but details make the difference at this level: portion size, wine service, personal attention.

03/10/2025: A charming place! We had a seafood tasting, what can I say...it was wonderful, every course was spectacular and surprising. The cod with leek foam has remained in my heart. It's truly a masterpiece of cuisine, compliments to the chef and all the staff. The wine cellar is very extensive, the service top-notch, and the ambience is meticulously designed.

02/10/2025: This seafood restaurant in the center of Portopalo is located in a pedestrian area where vehicles are prohibited. The location is a bit spartan, but the ingredients are top-quality, with well-prepared, flavorful seafood dishes and attentive, friendly service. It's a shame there's no traditional Sicilian dessert menu, but I'd definitely recommend it for family or couples dinners.

14/09/2025: A place devoid of any tourist culture, the friendly waiters more or less make up for the inefficiencies of the owners, the very limited menu, and frozen fish. In a country where fish reigns supreme, eating such a low-quality meal is absurd.

14/11/2025: We visited this restaurant on Friday, November 7th, during a severe thunderstorm. The place is tiny, and the outdoor tables couldn't be set up due to the bad weather, but we had a wonderful meal. You can choose your pasta and sauces to match. A lovely, informal place, with really friendly young owners and reasonable prices. I definitely recommend it.

12/11/2025: Good meal. Disposable tableware, presented as an eco-friendly approach when it's common knowledge that it isn't, even if it's made with bio-based materials.

20/09/2025: The food was delicious. A wide selection of pizzas. Friendly staff.

15/09/2025: Good pizza, and very friendly waitresses...

27/10/2025: Excellent hotel, very friendly at reception. We arrived at 11 and were given our room without any problems. The rooms are beautiful!!! With all the necessary amenities, including a jacuzzi, a good bed, etc. The location is very easy to access, which isn't so easy in Cicilia. I highly recommend it.

26/10/2025: Elegant hotel, frienly staff, good cusine, some place to parking with car, but really outside of the old city and the sights.

30/10/2025: Everything was delicious, from sweet to savory, with their ricotta granita undoubtedly the standout! Friendly staff, clean environment, it felt like home ❤️

03/09/2025: Excellent for a sweet or savory break

08/10/2025: Chef Guiseppe is worth of a Michelin star!! The most elevated dinner experience you could possibly wish for on your trip to Catania Bravo 🥂✨

18/09/2025: A wonderful experience. The staff were friendly, the food was delicious, and the value for money was more than satisfactory. The chef exudes a sense of calm. Highly recommended.

06/11/2025: Excellent service, friendly and professional staff. The products are truly tasty and authentically Sicilian. Reasonable prices and excellent value! Highly recommended! 🍰☕🇮🇹

23/07/2025: A good place to try excellent Sicilian delicacies.

01/11/2025: Great pizza, pasta was tasty, lovely building, just slow with service

29/10/2025: Very good pizzas! We picked up the pizzas, but the atmosphere looked really nice.
