I migliori ristoranti di cucina mediterranea in Siracusa

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!

09/10/2025: Unfortunately, we were disappointed. We had really liked the restaurant during our evening stroll, so we went there for dinner the next evening. I ordered a 4-cheese pizza, my companion a pizza intrigante. According to the menu, both pizzas should have had mozzarella and gorgonzola. Unfortunately, they didn't. Apparently, both cheeses were out of stock. Instead of a warning, I was given a Due Formaggi, which tasted like cheese on toast. Anyway, we didn't want to argue, so we only ate half and went for ice cream instead. Unfortunately, we couldn't even skip the tip, as they charge a cover charge of €2.50 per person. Therefore, unfortunately, we can't recommend it, and we'd rather eat somewhere else.

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.

09/09/2025: Don't visit Sicily without tasting Giuseppe's exceptional cuisine! A unique experience in many ways: - Generosity: Giuseppe opened his restaurant just for the two of us. - Quality and choice of ingredients: fresh, local cuisine; there's no set menu here; Giuseppe prepares meals based on the morning's market! - Welcome: What a joy to meet someone so genuine, kind, and welcoming! - Price: For a meal with a starter, four courses, dessert, and coffee, you'll pay two to three times less than in France! Incredible! Thanks again, Giuseppe, we'll definitely be back!

05/08/2025: The Sicilia di Vendicari farmhouse is nestled in the Vendicari oasis. In the morning, you wake to the scent of lemons, olive trees, and fig trees, and the wind caresses you in this land full of colors and scents, thanks above all to the loving care of the owners, Antonietta, Angelo, and their mother, Maria. The villas are simple but clean and spacious. We also ate wonderfully at their restaurant, also located within the oasis. You can experience the true Sicily with authentic Sicilian dishes cooked by Maria and many desserts prepared by her daughter, Antonietta. The oasis is strategically located near Sicily's most beautiful beaches and the coolest spots. You can only get around by car, preferably a jeep. Highly recommended.

29/07/2025: Lovely place and excellent food...just like grandma's!!! Mr. Angelo is kind and welcoming.

27/09/2025: Best arancini I had. Gluten free and veggie options are immaculate.

26/09/2025: We discovered this restaurant and it was a fantastic surprise! Everything is gluten-free, the arancini are spectacular, freshly prepared, hot, and fragrant. The quality is top-notch, but the prices are truly fair—it's hard to find such a good value. The staff are friendly and attentive: an experience we absolutely must repeat!

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.

12/10/2025: I went in to buy something and from the moment I set foot in this store I felt uncomfortable. They treated me with a very bad face and I think they followed me around the store.

28/08/2025: We had lunch here. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was good, and the prices were reasonable. If you're looking to save money in Ortigia, this is the place to go.
