The ambiance was nice, however, the attention to detail was just not there. My wife and I both had fish and decided on a white wine. There were 10 white wines on the menu, all local, and only five were available. My wife’s dish was rne sea bream fish which was good, however, every side dish was literally as cold as ice - Including the mashed potatoes and the egg eggplant. We were both expecting a much better experience based on previous reviews and awards. Not Recommended.

However, as you said... you just had to ask and we would have immediately replaced the dish. A mistake can happen on an evening with many people. Ours is not a gourmet restaurant but a place where you can feel good and eat happily. The wines are only Sicilian and it can happen that some labels are missing. We apologize for this but even to advise against a restaurant just for this seems exaggerated to me but nevertheless it is your idea and we take note of it. Greetings - Nostos Bistrot

This restaurant was so good the first time that we came back for dinner a second time. Excellent seafood dishes in the heart of Ortigia but away from the crowded streets.

Charming restaurant with fantastic seafood. Start with the Antipasti di Mare and finish with the lemon cake topped with meringue. Great spot.

Fabulous welcome to this small bistro. Menu is small but very seasonal. We were delighted with our choices and Chef Giovanni came out to make sure everyone was happy with their food. This restaurant deserves all the plaudits it gets. Aboveboard all we were madness to feel very welcome like in someone’s own home - not an easy thing stomach create. Bravo we wish you the very best success. Giovanni was also super helpfulness when I asked how to recreate one of his dishes.

Nostos was very comfortable. The atmosphere was casual, but nice. The staff was humble, gracious and very attentive. The food was just what we were looking for. It was delicious but unassuming. I especially liked the Sicilian Salad. It was the best salad I have had in Italy and I will be going back for another.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend. Food and service were fine but there are many other places in Ortigia and this one isn’t particularly outstanding.

The service and the chef’s welcome were great. The food quality and ambiance were average. The restaurant theme is written on a chalkboard “nobody likes a skinny chef”. It was too touristy and gimmicky for our party of 4. We started with the Mixta and Sicilian salads, both underwhelming, overdressed iceberg lettuce. The pistachio pasta had too few pistachios, too little flavor and too much cream. We had a couple other pastas that none of us found remarkable. The sea bream was delicious but the accompaniments of grilled onions and cherry tomatoes lacked a chef’s finishing touches. Nothing was bad and everything was average. In a country known for its’ excellent food, we’d take a pass on this restaurant.

We had seafood dishes. The food was lacking in flavor, and the portions were small while the prices were high.
