Overall mediocre, poor food and very mixed service. Had to send back fish which arrived cold and uncooked in middle. Empty place which says it all.

This is one of the best restaurants we’ve ever been to. The menu is unique in a good way. We had the seafood sampler option and it was outstanding. The service is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We’ll definitely return in the future!

The seafood starter was excellent, as was the octopus and pasta with mussels we had to follow. Highly recommended

Amazing Antipasto. Good wine priced fairly for Ortigia. Main was a Mussels Carbonara with 5 or 6 very tiny mussels. Pasta cooked well but fish content almost zero.. Super annoying when locals enjoying large plates of Moule which were not on the menu presented to us. Both dishes not warm. Disappointing for 94 Euros for 2 really.

Friendly helpful staff. Great good; best we’d had in almost 4 weeks of travelling. Waitress helped pick a wine and it was a great choice. Lovely setting and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend this quaint restaurant to anyone visiting Ortigia.

Really excellent food and good friendly service. Recommended. We would return if staying longer in Ortigia. Please note that the menu on the wall is for the cafe/ice cream parlour NOT theirs.

Excellent fresh pastas. The mixed seafood appetizer for two was very tasty and almost enough for a full meal. Friendly atmosphere.

Excellent and very innovative cuisine, very friendly service. Very good value, especially for that level of quality. Not such a touristy place like many other ones. I would love to come back!

really good quality of the food, nice place

A bit overpriced and overhyped. What you get on the plate keeps you wondering, if they actually used the ingredients you expected. Tuna was not really my thing, a bit too raw and unfortunately doesn't develop the tuna taste. More like tuna granita.

The outside and inside area of the small restaurant is simply and lovingly furnished and decorated. The boss warmly welcomes all guests and introduces the daily specials. The wine selection is regional and diverse! The dishes are beautifully presented and taste great! I recommend the small and beautiful Locanda Maniace to every visitor to Ortigia.

Super nice food and staff with great service. They prepared some off the menu gluten free plates (I’m celiac) for me - even with gluten free pasta. Totally recommended!

We have been in Italy a little less than three weeks now, and this meal by far has been our best, and it cost far less than we thought it might. Flavors were amazing and service was kind and considerate. Our server, who spoke perfect English, made great suggestions.

We (group of 4) liked this off the beaten path restaurant. The special of the day was tuna - quite nicely done. Portions are not huge - a side might be considered. We had a good inexpensive wine as recommended by the server. Prices are right.

Absolutely fantastic meal. Not only the best meal of our trip to Sicily, but one of the best meals we have ever had! Everything was exceptional and do not hesitate to book this restuarant, we highly recommend it!

Wonderful restaurant with Sicilian dishes presented in a modern way! We had the black spaghetti and the daily dish: grilled tuna. Highly recommend to try the dessert as well! Best food for a very reasonable price and less touristic than others in the area. Service was great and communication in English super easy!

We had a reservation for 2, arrived half an hour earlier because of rain and were seated right away. Hostess was very pleasant and nice. Lovely atmosphere and decoration. Ravioli ala norma were very good, fusili casa e pepe were ok. Special of the day, a smoked grilled tuna-resembling fish with burata cheese was a beautiful dish and we both found it good. Deconstructed Canolo was also good.

Hearty food in a nice place. The manager Mirko suggested us a good white wine, Quarter Vitis, and we tasted a delicate caponata with swordfish and some other great food. Amazing!
