(Translated by Google) We spent a wonderful evening at this fantastic restaurant. Each course of the menu was a beautifully balanced composition and a unique experience. The ambiance speaks for itself, and every detail tells its own story. Mauricio is the creative force behind the restaurant, and the service is impeccable. Our personal interaction with Mauricio was truly inspiring; thank you for that as well.

(Translated by Google) Everything was very decent. A very pleasant atmosphere. Everything was quite sophisticated and delicious… We recommend it👍. We had a salad, risotto (I would call it more like paella), and sea bass… and taramisu for dessert. Everything was excellent.

This Sicilian Bistro serves some of the finest and most exquisite food IN THE WORLD!!! The artistic excellence in culinary expression by the Master Chef Mauricio and his family exceeds the quality one comes to expect from AUTHENTIC gourmet dining.C B23 September 2025
Maurizio and his staff are fantastic! My group had a cooking class and jam sessions in the evenings in addition to our lunches and dinners. The venue has Sicilian charm. The whole place was lively and fun.Sue McCormick12 September 2025
Incredible meal! The best swordfish I’ve ever had finished table side. Kids had seared veal and octopus pasta. Both amazing. Chef recommendation for wine was spot on. And he was nice enough to give us a house discount on the wine for putting confidence on his suggestion. Thanks for the very special meal and hospitality!Daniel Levy30 August 2025

È un posto di livello. Maurizio, il crazy chef, medaglia di argento nel salto in alto, ci ha trasportato in un viaggio culinario degno della sicilia. La caponata, il polpo, la norma sono stati eccezionali. Apprezzatissimo il pane fatto in casa accompagnato da pregiato olio siciliano.
N.B. Purtroppo quella sera i servizi non fluivano.

It’s a classy place. Maurizio, the crazy chef, a silver medalist in the high jump, took us on a culinary journey worthy of Sicily. The caponata, the octopus, and the norma were exceptional. The homemade bread paired with fine Sicilian olive oil was a real treat.
N.B. Unfortunately, service was slow that evening.Ago19 August 2025
Best meal we had in Italy. Everything was fantastic, creative and fresh.Thomas Mitsch17 August 2025
If you want a dinner that will feed not just your belly, but your soul as well – I highly recommend coming here.
Frankly, this restaurant is a reason alone to return to Ortigia.
The food was divine and the staff were friendly and very lovely.
Only the best memories.Vitalij Jelizarov31 July 2025
Locale molto particolare e personalizzato. Servizio top. Cibo buonissimo e ricercato, si percepisce che c’è una tecnica e uno studio dietro a ogni piatto. Assolutamente consigliato!

A very unique and personalized place. Top-notch service. The food is delicious and refined; you can tell there’s a lot of technique and thought behind every dish. Highly recommended!Francesca Negro9 July 2025
Words can’t express how VERAMENTE ECCEZIONALE (truly exceptional!) this experience was for my partner and me last night.
We went all in with the tasting menu, a bottle of wine, and a digestivo to end — and I can honestly say it was the best dinner of our entire trip and well beyond. Chef Maurizio is inventive, authentic, and fun! Absolutely outstanding. His lovely wife was just as wonderful.
We stayed until closing, and they welcomed us like old friends sharing music, stories, and great tips for the rest of our travels. We wanted to book again for tonight, but sadly they close on Wednesdays.
We’ll definitely return to Syracuse with this unforgettable stop always in mind.Maria Camila Pava9 July 2025
Very rarely do you come across restaurants where every little detail is curated to perfection. From the moment you walk up to the restaurant from the street the colorful umbrellas and lights that decorate the restauraunts external terrace greet you along with an eclectic soundtrack gently playing through the speakers.
On the inside the restaurant is a melting pot of vintage decoration pieces, paintings and furniture that all tell a story. To say it has character is an understatement.
The restaurants owner Maurizio greets you with a smile and some friendly words as you walk in, take a seat, and keep admiring all of the restaurants decoration. Its as if the entire place is speaking to you and telling you to feel at home.
Ive traveled the world extensively and have eaten in many of the world’s greatest restaurants on most continents but when I discover gems like this place it makes me happier than dining at any world renowned establishment.
In Japan, the most highly renowned style of cuisine, is Kyoto based Kaiseiki cuisine. Its a style of dining where every single element in the room and on your plate is meant to inspire a sense of zen. The ceramic for each dish is carefully chosen, the type of flowers and decoration in the room, the way every dish is presented at your table and every course is prepared to make you feel as zen as possible.
Sicilian dining is not in any way Kaiseiki, but dining at Maurizios establishment felt like a joyful colorful Sicilian version of this all encompassing style of dining, all senses are stimulated in a blissful way.
I highly recommend choosing the 4 course tasting menu, besides being able to taste a larger variety of dishes in one sitting, it will also include, as a bonus, Maurizio presenting each dish at your table with a few fun surprises.
Restaurant owners who actively work the floor in their restaurants tend to have to repeat all their stories and conversations endlessly with every evenings customer which I imagine can get exhausting but Maurizio tells you about each dish, every item in the room and art piece decorating the walls with joy and excitement as if its the first time he’s telling the story. Make sure to ask him about the big painting hanging on the restaurants wall. You cant miss it, its the center piece of the restaurant, and like its owner, it’s story is comical, joyful and unique.Karim de Sanctis Ricotta9 July 2025
Cenare da Macallè Sicilian Bistrò è un’esperienza. Ambiente curato con eccellente gusto, si vede la mano dell’architetto, ma anche la personalità dei proprietari. Servizio impeccabile e cibo che è cibo. Sapori di una volta, ricerca nella forma e nella qualità. Maurizio è un vulcano , degno della sua sicilianità. Il prezzo vale l’esperienza. Più che consigliato! Sarà tappa fissa quando torneremo in Sicilia

Dining at Macallè Sicilian Bistrò is an experience. The environment is well-kept with excellent taste, you can see the architect’s hand, but also the personality of the owners. Impeccable service and food that is food. Flavors of the past, research in form and quality. Maurizio is a volcano, worthy of his Sicilianness. The price is worth the experience. More than recommended! It will be a fixed stop when we return to SicilyAlessandra Ruggiero7 July 2025
Sull’isola di Ortigia c’è un ristorante fuori dal comune. Lo chef è un genio dell’arte culinaria, un cantastorie che, mentre gusti ciò che ha cucinato, ti racconta vecchie leggende del mare e antiche saggezze sicule. Macallè un’esperienza che vale il viaggio in Sicilia!

Un’esperienza per il palato, per la vista, per la mente! Ogni piatto è un quadro che lo chef Maurizio ti racconta, con sapienza e simpatia, poi si assaggia e non ci si vorrebbe più fermare! Il menù di Macallè segue la stagionalità degli ingredienti e non si sposta dal suo territorio. Se ti trovi ad Ortigia tappa obbligatoria!

Eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista.
Una vera scoperta e un must per chi visita Ortigia. Piatti dai sapori tipici, ma delicati e ben abbinati. Lo chef è simpaticissimo e affabile. Tutto squisito, dall’antipasto al dolce.
Ci torno domani, perché non sono riuscita a provare tutti i piatti!

A real discovery and a must for anyone visiting Ortigia. Dishes with typical flavors, yet delicate and well-matched. The chef is very friendly and personable. Everything was delicious, from appetizers to dessert.
I’ll be back tomorrow, because I didn’t get to try all the dishes!Patrizia F31 May 2025
Best meal in Sicily. Suggested by our hotel, and a good thing they did. A caponata, a soup, pasta, swordfish finished at the table with a torch and a kind of deconstructed canolo for dessert. Wonderful! Presentation also part of the experience as our server/chef/owner(?) finished our plates at the table, adding fresh herbs he was literally cutting off of living plants in front of us. Also an impressive wine list. So good!Jim Roberts-Miller29 May 2025

We had a wonderful meal prepared tableside by Chef Maurizio a couple of nights ago. It was fun to watch him slice the bread, add ingredients to the soup, and flame cook swordfish. Don’t be put off by the scaffolding along the street, if it is still their. An oasis awaits inside the restaurant.Robert Street17 May 2025
