We went there for my birthday. The waiter was the nicest person ever and very patient with us. We drank a very good Nero d'Avola. I had the pasta with octopus, some had tuna, others meat. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Portions were a bit small though. For desert we shared a tiramisu and a ricotta with mango. Incredible. The waiter even lit a candle for me. Great experience overall.Alexis Vrettos2 September 2023

Esperienza culinaria eccellente, prodotti di alta qualità, personale gentile e preparato.
Purtroppo verso la fine si è rallentato un po’ il servizio, forse causato dalla tanta clientela.
Ci ritornerei assolutamente!

Excellent culinary experience, high quality products, kind and knowledgeable staff.
Unfortunately, towards the end the service slowed down a bit, perhaps due to the large number of customers.
I would absolutely go back!Alessio Ranieri29 August 2023
Materia prima freschissima, di alta qualità, cucina gourmet con quantità non generose. Pesce spada superlativo cosi come il calamaro. Prezzi sopra la media. Consigliato

Outstanding! Best restaurant I've dined at in Sicily to date during my stay. Ingredients are purchased daily fresh. Just the right amount of food, beautifully prepared and so flavorful. Had a wonderful overall experience as a large group. Chef really took care to prepare an excellent meal and experience.Sue McMillin28 August 2023
Sono stato a cena con la mia compagna. Difficilmente lascio una recensione, ma questa volta è d'obbligo.
Il servizio ricevuto è stato impeccabile, sia lo Chef che il Cameriere (padre e figlio) sono preparatissimi e molto disponibili, ci hanno accompagnato nelle scelte e si sono presi cura di noi per tutto il tempo.
La location è piccola, ma molto accogliente (come piace a noi!)
Ma veniamo al pezzo forte: ieri sera non abbiamo cenato, ma abbiamo vissuto un'esperienza culinaria. Non smettevamo più di far roteare la mano mentre degustavamo le pietanze.
Il crudo di mare è superlativo, il cameriere ci ha gentilmente suggerito in che ordine dugustarli. Per quanto riguarda i primi: i tagliolini del pescatore con il pescato del giorno (spigola!) E "per alice" ancora non mi viene in mente un aggettivo che possa rendergli giustizia; inimmaginabili!
Ed infine abbiamo ordinato una cassata che nemmeno a dirlo.. abbiamo chiuso in bellezza! Il tutto accompagnato con un Cataratto siciliano sapientemente presentato dal cameriere.
Ogni volta che torneremo a Siracusa sapremo dove cenare.

I went to dinner with my partner. I hardly leave a review, but this time it's a must.
The service received was impeccable, both the Chef and the Waiter (father and son) are highly trained and very helpful, they accompanied us in the choices and took care of us all the time.
The location is small, but very welcoming (as we like it!)
But let's get to the highlight: last night we didn't have dinner, but we had a culinary experience. We never stopped twirling our hand while we tasted the dishes.
The raw seafood is superb, the waiter kindly suggested in which order to taste them. As for the first courses: the fisherman's tagliolini with the catch of the day (sea bass!) And "per alice" I still can't think of an adjective that can do it justice; unimaginable!
And finally we ordered a cassata which needless to say .. we closed with a flourish! All accompanied with a Sicilian Cataratto expertly presented by the waiter.
Whenever we return to Syracuse we will know where to dine.GianMaria28 August 2023

If you want a pasta that will bring you to tears… order their rendition of the pasta alla Norma. Wow wow wow. It’s a work of art. Off the major street and worth the short walk.Francesco V24 August 2023
Sono un amante dei ristoranti di qualità. Questo l'ho scoperto del tutto casualmente ed è stata un'epifania. Cibo semplicemente eccellente, personale gentile, bell'ambiente. Il migliore ristorante di Siracusa e oltre. Consiglio la degustazione di 4 portate a base di pesce, una sorta di immersione nei sensi.

Everything was sensational. The chef personally takes care of every guest, explaining food composition. Creative interpretation and the wine recommendations were a great match. Highly recommended.martin hofmann31 July 2023
Excellent food and service. Every dish was tasty, and seemed to offer a twist, a bit of individually. The polpo was tender, my wife loved her freddo di mare. I also had the zucchini soup. The busiate for my daughter was also perfect for her. The risotto was not that risotto like, or at least not like the ones I've been used, but was still a very satisfying dish. We were full when the stuffed squid came but we still polished that off. Then there was the tiramisu. Recommended.Tor Chiu28 July 2023
Alzo le mani, questo non è un ristorante questo è un universo parallelo. Lo chef è un personaggio ricco di cultura, che spiega assiste e valorizza i suoi piatti raccontando la specialità. Il personale è attentissimo, non c'è un momento in cui non ti senti guidato, assistito e coccolato. Ci stanno i pareri negativi si dice che "ad accontentare un comune nessun sindaco né è capace" ma io ho visto solo altissima qualità, ricerca negli ingredienti autoctoni e molta molta competenza. L'elaborazione dei piatti viene armonizzate dalla conoscenza e la competenza nel blend dei sapori, insomma azzeccato. Io così bene nn ho mangiato mai e chi mi segue lo sa nelle mie recensioni.
Vini e drink all'altezza. Ambiente pieno d'arte e di storia.
Stupendo vedere padre e figlio collaborare.
Estasiata

Hands up, this is not a restaurant this is a parallel universe. The chef is a character rich in culture, who explains, assists and enhances his dishes by telling the specialty. The staff is very attentive, there isn't a moment when you don't feel guided, assisted and pampered. There are negative opinions, it is said that "no mayor is able to please a municipality" but I have only seen very high quality, research into native ingredients and a lot of expertise. The elaboration of the dishes is harmonized by the knowledge and competence in the blend of flavors, in short, spot on. I have never eaten so well and those who follow me know it in my reviews.
Top notch wines and drinks. Environment full of art and history.
Wonderful to see father and son working together.

Ispirati dalla trasmissione di chef Borghese, in occasione di un magnifico weekend a Siracusa, abbiamo deciso di provare questo ristorante dove siamo stati magnificamente accolti dallo chef Maurizio che ha reso la nostra cena a dir poco magnifica!
Piatti sublimi con materie prime di eccellente qualità e rese squisite dalla maestrai dello chef!
Servizio impeccabile, cortese ed educato, sempre attento alle necessità dei clienti seppur mai troppo formale, né invadente.
È stata un’esperienza davvero eccezionale che, personalmente, sento di consigliare a tutti, soprattutto se non lo avete ancora provato.
Grande Chef!

Sublime dishes with excellent quality raw materials and made exquisite by the chef's masters!
Impeccable service, courteous and polite, always attentive to the needs of customers although never too formal or intrusive.
It was a truly exceptional experience that I personally feel I recommend to everyone, especially if you haven't tried it yet.

This is the first time we have visited the island completely blown away by the amazing selection of restaurants.
This restaurant definitely did not disappoint. The proprietor . gave us such a warm welcome and went into intricate detail about the dishes.
My partner is vegetarian and he went out of his way to provide an absolutely delicious vegetarian tasting menu.
Really nice selection of wines.
Great family atmosphere.
The portions are absolutely perfect. I tend to find the opposite of tourist traps around the area. They have much larger portions in the quality isn’t always that good.
This restaurant is definitely a local feel, visited by mostly local residents of Siracuse. Thank youJasmine Tooley28 October 2022
