9.5/10We had a wonderful dining experience at this charming restaurant in Syracuse. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, yet the service was impressively attentive and professional. The food was delicious and rooted in tradition. Several dishes were explained as being made from their grandmother’s original recipes, which added a lovely personal touch and a sense of authenticity. Overall, we truly enjoyed our meal and time here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for genuine Sicilian cuisine served with warmth and sophistication.

10/10Excellent dinner for two! Delicious pasta: ravolini and paccheri with pesto; freshest swordfish in a red sauce; mixed salad. And to top it off, the best tiramisu! Nice ambiance with comfortable background jazz. Great welcoming and professional service. Highly recommend.

6/10Seared tuna over-cooked. One waiter good, one waiter miserable bordering on rude. Food so so, nothing special. Would not return.

Food was amazing served in large portions. There were many locals there dining which is a good indicator.. Restaurant is situated a short walk from the busy area. The owner is also the chef. He made time to come out and say hello. Fish served is always fresh. Great value too.

6.5/10We enjoyed our dinner but it could have been even better. Swordfish pasta was the best dish but small portions of fish for the price. Red wine was served cold and the Fork discount was not included on our first bill. Surprised by the high number of very positive reviews on here compared to other restaurants we have eaten at in Sicily.

I was ultra impressed by this restaurant. I was fed like I was at dinner at my grandma's place. Every dish was super tasty, tied to the root of Sicilian cusine, and very fresh. The quantity was incredible and even if I came out as if I ate for a family, I was super nice and fun.
