    A nice local spot with good food and great service. The lighting was too bright and affected the ambiance. Fresh fish was lovely. The ravioli was excellent!

    Excellent sea food and service. We ate outside which was nice. The owner was very nice, spoke excellent English (and was tolerant of our very limited Italian) and picked an excellent wine.

    We 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.

    This restaurant was beautiful, quiet and convenient. We loved the fish and the staff were wonderfully helpful. It was our favorite place to eat on the island of Ortigia - don't miss the desserts!

    Excellent 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.

    Seared 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.

    Lovely spot to dine in Ortigia. The seafood was fresh - especially enjoyed the swordfish caponata and the spaghetti vongole. Service was perfect. Wonderful lunch - highly recommend.

    We 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.
