    The owner's wife was so lovely and attentive when we were there, giving us suggestions, helping us with the menu, and even bringing the 'catch of the day' to our table to see. The owner/chef came out at the end of our meal to thank us and see how we liked the food. We absolutely loved it! The next time we're in Ortigia, we are definitely returning. Highly recommend Giove!

    Very comprehensive menu with some different choices from those offered by many restaurants in Ortigia. I was delighted to find more vegetables and salads on offer, as well as a range of soups, including bean-based soups. I had a delicious borlotti bean soup with clams, radicchio and rocket salad, and spaghetti with mussels. Excellent food and attentive service. I hope to return.

    Very authentic family-owned restaurant. We had pepata di cozze, gamberetti sautati al brandy, il polpo alla luciana and fresh catch of the day. Everything was delicious and portions were big! Lovely service and local wines to compliment the experience 😊 A big recommendation!

    Had a fun dinner with friends here one night. The waitress was friendly and helpful. Cute little street location away from all the noise. Accommodating to gluten free people. Even brought out gluten free bread.

    9.5/10

    Restaurant taking up a narrow side street on a slope, with tables ingeniously built on levelling platforms. We were the only diners at the time on a Sunday evening. The host spoke no English but was very welcoming and we got by! Food was delicious though we paid more than we wanted by ordering the fish of the day - should have checked the weight!
