Very personable service, like being welcomed into the family. Wonderful food and drink from the bread to the limoncello. I would go back again to sample more of the menu!

Delicious and truly unique dishes I’ve never tried before. Thoughtful composition, and real creativity from the kitchen. Already planning my return.

The manager/staff were very welcoming, especially to our grandchildren, explaining the menu options for them. The food was delicious and the service attentive and efficient. The complimentary gelati for the grandchildren and limencello for the adults was also much appreciated.

Excellent recurring menu with standout daily options as well. Friendly and professional service. We only wished we’d had room for dessert. When we are near Ortigia again, this will be our first stop for dinner.

The food was excellent, well prepared and beautifully presented. It is a family run restaurant the husband being the chef and the wife serving, but she more than served. It was like we were being hosted as guests in their home.

what a warm and inviting experience! friendly service, excellent food and reasonable pricing. We normally live and die by the Michelin or Slow Food guides, but we took a chance on this place and we loved it. Highly recommend!!!

This was an absolute gem of a restaurant! Fabulous food, and incredibly kind owner who served us with true Italian/Greek hospitality! Highly suggest as an overall pick in ortigia!

A lovely restaurant! Situated on a quiet street with a few outside tables, one of which we sat at for dinner. Really friendly service from both staff who spoke to us - our waitress gave us a great white wine recommendation (a white from the Etna D.O.C). We both had the orange glazed prawns with black rice and vegetables, which was delicious. Huge, beautifully cooked prawns with the vegetables chopped finely into the rice. Recommended!

Lovely restaurant with delicious food, good local wines and homemade bread. The friendly, attentive staff accommodated our large party at the last minute on a busy Saturday evening and really looked after us well. Wonderful, relaxing evening!

Excellent food and service! Wish we had gone earlier in our trip so we could go back a second time! This was the best meal we had in Ortigia. We had the mushroom avocado cheese appetizer And a pasta with tomato and zucchini strips and the fried mixed seafood plate. All the food was excellent as well as the service.

We loved the food. It was a quiet evening so difficult to judge the ambience correctly. Quality,definitely, need more support in a very competitive area!

The entire meal was outstanding. The owners are a couple and the wife runs the dining room while the husband is the chef. She was so gracious and fun to talk to,plus our dinner was delicious!
