I migliori ristoranti in Siracusa

18/08/2025: A simply unforgettable dinner in the heart of Ortigia! We started with a breathtaking appetizer: a fresh, flavorful, and top-quality tuna tartare, which immediately raised the bar. Then came the fried fish: crispy, light, perfectly executed, and accompanied by a truly amazing sauce. But the real spectacle came with the first courses: the shrimp and pistachio spaghetti was an explosion of flavor with every bite—sea and land came together in an embrace that was almost touching. And then... the sea urchin carbonara. Words are insane. A dish worthy of UNESCO World Heritage status, a unique and perfectly balanced combination that deserves every possible applause. The staff? Simply exceptional. The chef deserves an award, and the chef's wife was exceptionally kind, always with a sincere and welcoming smile. We left the restaurant so satisfied that we wanted to take up residence nearby, just to return more often. An experience that goes far beyond just eating: here, you can experience a passion for cooking. Highly recommended!

18/08/2025: Elegant atmosphere, very friendly staff, and excellent food. Definitely worth returning. N.B.: They'll soon be changing their name from "Perle d'Ortigia" to "Osteria Illuminata," but the chef will remain the same. Highly recommended.

06/09/2025: Warm and attentive welcome, excellent dishes, try the orange salad.

06/09/2025: Friendly servers with good advice, everything is homemade and delicious.

14/09/2025: Service: They are friendly, polite, serious, good, informative, impeccable. The food is excellent quality, I won't add anything else; it's not industrial, it's excellent, EXCELLENT! If you want a small place, without clutter and with good, well-organized food, La Pigna is perfect. Atmosphere: Small, Hobbit-like, beautiful, too beautiful. I had a risotto, excellent rice, excellent quality, with exquisite lupini beans, and I also had some delicious, pre-cleaned shrimp, perfect oil, and the fish is something else, especially Muddicca pasta. Excellent pasta, breadcrumb-filled pasta. For dessert: delicious tiramisu, delicious Zibibbo, and then the black cherry one, made with four flavors of delicious sugar balls, white balls that enclose the lemon and black cherry cream balls with a mint flower on top. Stunning, 5 well-deserved stars. Signed: - Nicolas Albanese

14/09/2025: I went to this restaurant in July and it's an excellent choice if you're looking for a restaurant where you can enjoy fresh fish.

11/09/2025: Wonderful place and excellent cuisine

10/09/2025: Everything was excellent, especially the impeccable service. All the waitresses greeted us, which is the first time I've seen this happen, and I have to say it gave a very warm and friendly impression. They were very attentive to our every need. I was also amazed by the desserts, which were delicious and beautifully presented. The location is charming, beautiful, and highly recommended if you're near Noto. The prices are reasonable, and it's a good value.

27/08/2025: Super delicious antipasti! Definitely worth trying. Great service, cute shop.

27/08/2025: A good option for trying Sicilian food. The staff's attention is outstanding. Recommended. We ordered the platter for two and a bottle of wine, and spent 60 euros.

17/09/2025: Fantastic atmosphere, the ambiance of the place, its decor, communicative, polite, smiling and helpful team, tasting the dishes served was pure pleasure, really worth it!

16/09/2025: Walk up the street from Archimedes Square... look around, turn your head to the left and luck will smile on you! At the end of a pretty little courtyard, a Chiodo waits patiently for you. The welcome is warm, the service very professional, the dishes very well cooked with good local products. Thank you again for this great lunch (I forgot the stylish decor and the interesting choice of wines).

06/08/2025: Cuoppo di fritto misto di pesce dalle porzioni generose ed economico (comodo da mangiare mentre si passeggia). Personale gentile.

31/07/2025: Very generous portions, good fried fish and vegetables, average prices for Ortigia.

13/09/2025: Found this place by accident, as wanted to have a snack. Piada was just perfect - very delicious, fresh and rich in taste. Very welcoming hosts, thank you so much!

12/09/2025: Everything was excellent. Both the savory pancakes and the tiramisu. Rightly recommended by Le Routard. Service with a smile. To be repeated.

05/09/2025: An excellent restaurant where professionalism, authenticity, and kindness reign supreme. The fish caponata was superb. I left with wonderful memories of Syracuse.

29/08/2025: We chose this restaurant from among the many in Ortigia and were delighted with the quality and deliciousness of the ingredients, and therefore the dishes. The caponata was excellent, truly excellent, with a very unique recipe: raisins and pine nuts in a triumph of Sicilian style. The staff, consisting of two sisters in the dining room (the third in the kitchen), is very friendly and approachable. They make you feel at home and offer plenty of advice. The fish is fresh. We have some concerns about the desserts, which look beautiful but are actually quite lacking, and the surrounding atmosphere (we practically ate dinner on the sidewalk). Overall, a highly recommended option for lunch or dinner on the beautiful island of Ortigia.

12/09/2025: Everything was perfect, the food was very well prepared and above all the attention from the waiter Agustin.

02/09/2025: Intrigued by the reviews, we went to this very good restaurant. The location is GORGEOUS! The food is EXCELLENT. The food is very fresh and tasty, and cooked very well. The waiters are all very kind and helpful. EVERYTHING EXCELLENT. WE WILL DEFINITELY RETURN.

17/09/2025: Spectacular, it was recommended to us by the guy who works in the hotel across the street from the train station... and I have to say, he couldn't have given us better advice. I've never had pasta with clams as good as that evening. The chef was smiling and friendly. It's a shame I live far from this place, otherwise I'd go often. The portions are generous. I only had the first course and was full. The prices are more than fair. The pasta was cooked just right, the clams were spectacular, there wasn't too much oil, and they were well-balanced. Truly excellent. My dad's pasta, which was seafood-based, was also delicious, rich in seafood and well-balanced.

16/09/2025: It didn't matter how hot it was inside or how good the service was. It was just this: food that was so bland, and this was the right way to serve food. I was so hungry I ordered four dishes, but I couldn't eat a single one properly. 1. The seafood pasta was served with barely any sauce. Furthermore, the shrimp tasted absolutely astral. 2. The mussel stew? I couldn't even taste the mussels, and the sauce was even worse. 3. The seasoned cod was like, "Oh my gosh, is this really made for me to eat?" They didn't even bother to season it, and it was just sloppy. What's this mysterious flavor?" 4. The fried octopus? Is this the right kind of octopus? Is it frozen? It's not frozen, but it's so tough and chewy. I vowed never to go to Sicily or Syracuse again.

29/08/2025: The location is truly beautiful, and the drinks and cake were delicious. Unfortunately, the waiters weren't particularly friendly and didn't even crack a smile.

28/08/2025: Awesome cocktail list. Delicious bruschetta. Efficient and welcoming team.

23/04/2025: A perfect place for sweet breakfast and coffee. We stopped twice in one day on our one-day train trip to Siracusa. The owner is super friendly, and Hendrix is adorable. Thank you so much!

01/04/2025: Very friendly owner, stylish interior, and great value for the price.

11/09/2025: Very good food, the frittura mista was just how it is supposed to be! Very kind waiters and a great atmosphere. 5/5!

09/09/2025: The food is delicious, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I recommend the linguine siracusane.

05/09/2025: Exceptional. I agree with all the previous reviews. Excellent desserts. As for the desserts... I want to go back just for the pistachio tiramisu 😍

05/09/2025: An excellent little restaurant with generous cuisine. I had the almond pasta, a delight, the best I ate during my stay here. The pistachio tiramisu is also a must-try for dessert!
