Testimonials

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! (Translated by Google) 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 (Translated by Google) 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.

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! (Translated by Google) On the island of Ortigia there is a restaurant out of the ordinary. The chef is a genius of the culinary art, a storyteller who, while you taste what he has cooked, tells you old legends of the sea and ancient Sicilian wisdom.

Everything is delicious, from appetizers to desserts. I’ll go back tomorrow, because I didn’t manage to try all the dishes!Patrizia Frighi31 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

Macallè non è un ristorante, o perlomeno non è solo un ristorante. Macallè è soprattutto la storia di un amore assoluto e del legame carnale ed indissolubile che lega Maurizio a questa terra unica di straordinaria bellezza e che lui racconta attraverso i suoi piatti in questo piccolo ed elegante bistrot che sembra uscito da un dipinto di Salvador Dali. Macallè è un microcosmo in cui la Sicilia si svela in tutta la sua straordinaria bellezza e autenticità e dove la materia prima si unisce ad una cantina che celebra il terroir siciliano nella sua eclettica unicità. Macallè è un invito a rallentare, ad assaporare il tempo, a celebrare la vita e le sue meraviglie. Per chiunque ami la buona cucina e desideri immergersi nell’anima più vera di Ortigia, una visita a Macallè è un’esperienza che raccomando, un viaggio emozionante che resterà per sempre nei ricordi più cari. Grazie Maurizio. (Translated by Google) Macallè is not a restaurant, or at least it is not just a restaurant. Macallè is above all the story of an absolute love and of the carnal and indissoluble bond that binds Maurizio to this unique land of extraordinary beauty and which he tells through his dishes in this small and elegant bistro that seems to have come out of a painting by Salvador Dali. Macallè is a microcosm in which Sicily reveals itself in all its extraordinary beauty and authenticity and where the raw material combines with a cellar that celebrates the Sicilian terroir in its eclectic uniqueness. Macallè is an invitation to slow down, to savor time, to celebrate life and its wonders. For anyone who loves good food and wants to immerse themselves in the truest soul of Ortigia, a visit to Macallè is an experience that I recommend, an exciting journey that will remain forever in the fondest memories. Thanks Maurizio.Davide Baldoni3 June 2024
