I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana in Siracusa

12/03/2025: We chose this restaurant based on the good reviews. Unfortunately, I don't understand it at all. The service was bored and disinterested; Sicilian specialties were basically out of stock. A wet plate with wet salt packets arrived at the table without comment, along with bread and half a bottle of oil. I would have liked to order olives and a piece of pecorino, as the bread was fresh and delicious. The waiter didn't even look at us, even though we were the only guests, along with two others. A simple insalata mista for €10 consisted of a shallow dessert plate, just as shallowly filled. On top, some iceberg lettuce and some radiccio. The main course, touristy calamari fritti, was OK, but overpriced for its quantity and simplicity. It's a shame; with more interest in the customer, some of these mistakes could have been overlooked. And we would have gladly paid extra for the dolce vita, if we had had the money!

21/09/2025: Everything ok, delicious mini cannolo.

14/08/2025: I went in to get a bottle of water from the fridge at the entrance, and the owner outside yelled that I had to pay first. I didn't pay any attention at the time, as he was outside and I was concentrating on getting water from the fridge, being very thirsty (the place wasn't crowded at all, in fact, empty). Since he was standing outside the door, I didn't think he was mad at me (also because he was referring to several people outside; I had already entered). He looked like a customer, and I wasn't expecting a bar owner to start yelling like he did at a local market. So I went to get water from the fridge, and he told me to "don't be so arrogant," translated from Sicilian, when I hadn't even considered it in the first place. Then he proceeds to (still yelling) say that the water isn't cold because it was just put in, so in his opinion there was no point in me taking it, as if I had the ability to predict before entering the bar whether the water in the fridge had been put in recently or a long time ago, without first touching it. I always drink it at room temperature, so he started yelling pointlessly at a potential customer. Due to his manner, I told him that this was no way to treat customers, and he even said I was disrespectful (I didn't yell or insult him at all, unlike him), when he literally yelled at me two seconds after entering the bar. Finally, as I was about to pay, I told him that if he kept going, I'd go to another bar. As soon as the transaction turned green on the POS, he told me with a haughty air that there weren't any other bars open at the moment, since it was night. In reality, all I had to do was take a couple of steps outside and there were plenty of them. One of the meanest owners I've ever met, I will never feel the need to enter this place again!

16/06/2025: Gran restaurante. Excelente comida. Recomendación de nuestro host de Airbnb. La caponata espectacular. Buenos vinos de la region y muy casero. Nada fancy, pero muy recomendable

30/05/2025: In una tranquilla strada nel dedalo di Ortigia, una fantastica esperienza da Kamel. Ottimo pesce servito, dall’antipasto ai secondi piatti, in porzioni generosissime e qualità eccellente. L’offerta dei vini è adeguata (spicca il vino prodotto dal calciatore Barzagli) e la simpatia impareggiabile della proprietaria completa la riuscita della serata dopo teatro. Da non perdere se venite a Siracusa

19/08/2025: Everything was fine. They even fulfilled some unusual requests :)

16/08/2025: The pizzas were good. The service, unfortunately, was not (the staff were exclusively teenagers). Then came the big downside: we wanted to pay (€30), but didn't get a change (€70). The guys just kept serving us. Even after repeated requests, nothing happened. We noticed that an Italian at the next table had the same problem and was already complaining loudly. Still, no response. I went in and fussed until I finally got my money. The unfriendly owner spent ages searching through the cash register until she finally found a few bills. The restaurant was extremely poorly prepared.

01/07/2025: Notice to the new owners/managers that the sliding door of the bar makes noise 24 hours a day especially at night!! because it opens and closes by itself even with the shutter down, it must be blocked before closing as they did before.

29/08/2025: Reading the reviews, I think we were very unlucky. We went in May. I was very excited because we're from the countryside. The owner welcomed us and was downright rude to us. They were having a family celebration, and everything seemed very friendly, but he was especially unpleasant with us. I don't know if it was because we're Spanish, because we're women, or why, because we were very kind, respectful, and polite. He gave us an apartment that smelled horrible. It smelled like a septic tank, accumulated urine, dampness—it was truly unpleasant. We could barely sleep, with everything wide open and air freshener dripping everywhere to try to hide it. No one asked us if everything was okay when we left or arrived. It's a beautiful and very authentic place, pure Sicily, and I think if we had been in another apartment, perhaps the experience would have been different. But between the owner's bad mood and the stench, it was our worst experience in Sicily after 20 days of traveling.

23/08/2025: Reading other people's reviews, I agree with both the positive and negative aspects. The place itself has excellent potential if the owners were better managed. It's fine for relaxing and enjoying a couple of days away from the world, but it's not a good idea to have it as a base for a longer vacation. All this is because it doesn't offer adequate services, beyond towels, sheets, and cleaning. Breakfast is only written down, and I don't understand why it's not specified before booking, as it's not available on the property. There's no common area to make your own breakfast, nor are there cutlery, glasses, or a coffee maker. So you have to bring everything from home, but the question arises. What did I pay for? For a bed and a private bathroom, which doesn't justify the money. The shared refrigerator for the entire resort is very inconvenient and, above all, always almost full. Our king room was excellent in terms of space, but the windows don't dampen noise, so some nights you can hear the dogs barking. The Wi-Fi is very weak and only works near the owner's house. I'm very sorry, but it has enormous potential that isn't being exploited, and finally, a little more friendliness and hospitality wouldn't hurt.
