    Small restaurant off the beaten track, but worthwhile walking a few extra steps. Very friendly welcome (Owner speaks Italian, German, English (at least)) and a small menue. Everything was very tasty and we discovered new dishes. Recommended wine was an excellent match. Thanks for the nice evening.

    Simply sublime; if sublime needs translation then this: subtle, quietly sophisticated, and seemless; food; service and ambience. Fabricio is an attentive, charming, food product aware host / owner who makes you feel seen and heard. We cook so asked to share three different mains; they were plated up separately halved without our even asking; intelligence awareness is a thing. And the food, well, this is where professional Siracusano couple go to treat themselves on Friday night; we were only one of two non-local tables - as they say, when you know, you know. . . . .

    Not only excellent food but also excellent service. One of the best restaurants during the trip in Sicily. You should definitely go to the restaurant when you visit Siracusa.

    Great food, and an informative host. Location not ideal for significant footfall but food presented deserving of more customers. Lovely wine recommended to complement the meal .

    Very good food, wine, and service. Well worth the short walk from Ortigia.

    Good restaurant, kind service from the owners. A bit overpriced compared to similar restaurants at comparable range and menu (e.g. 1 piece oyster for 6€ vs 3.5€). I liked that the kitchen was visible, exceptionally clean, not noisy.

    Truly inventive food with excellent wines served by a wonderful husband-wife team. Some special veggies grown in their own garden. Superior quality in a friendly ambiance.

    An exceptional restaurant with a wonderful menu of interesting and exciting dishes served with attention and charm. The creative food looked like a work of art and every mouthful was a tasting delight. We enjoyed the Sicilian wines by the glass, again served with charm. A very special restaurant.

    The food was amazing, so much detail and attention to the food and presentation. Staff were incredibly kind and genuinely so nice to talk to. Spoke good English as well. One of the best places we’ve eaten at in Sicily.

    Wonderful!! The restaurant is owned by two couples who were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this restaurant! From the food to the wine to the lovely music in the background, 10/10 all around.

    A superb little restaurant serving a modern Sicilian take on local dishes. High quality fresh fish. Try ‘The Toast’ which was fun and tasty. Service was knowledgeable and friendly. Also excellent wines from Sicily

    We were staying in Ortigia, and this was the only restaurant on the mainland that we tried. So delighted that we did. The food is a modern version of Sicilian cuisine, but not so unrecognisable that it becomes a different thing altogether. Everything was delicious. Service was professional and very friendly, and we appreciated having a view into the kitchen; it's such a joy to see the food being prepared. I would happily return and recommend enthusiastically.

    Maybe my favorite meal in Sicily. The staff were warm and excited to talk about the menu. The food was exquisite. The black spaghetti tasted of the sea. My wife’s squid with chickpea sauce was divine: perfectly cooked and with simple flavors. Hands down the best cannolo I’ve ever had.

    The staff in this restaurant were lovely, however the food was overpriced and very underwhelming. Food was under seasoned, tuna was over cooked and you can get much better food for less nearby.

    Incredible. One of the best food experiences we have ever had. We’ve tried the 5-dish-menu, with the possibility to choose 5 dishes from the whole menù and it turned out to be the best decision ever. Absolutely recommend visiting this place.

    Little restaurant, nothing special although the terrace is very nice. A bit expensive but you are having excellent food. What made our evening memorable and deserves a 5* is the kindness, professionalism and genuine commitment to the owner and staff. ???? ????

    This was not just the best restaurant I ate at in Sicily (out of about 10), but it was one of the best meals I have had in Italy over the past 2 months. This is elegant but not pretentious food served in a comfortable, contemporary environment and served lovingly by the owner and the chef herself. Open kitchen gives you high confidence that the seafood focused (but far from exclusively) menu is expertly prepared.
