    As expected, having found this restaurant in a very touristy past of Ortigia, the food was average…read moreand a bit overpriced. We came here specifically to eat their pasta with sea urchins since it's the one of the only few we came across that served it. The pasta was pricey (26€ for one dish) and they barely had enough sea urchins to even notice in the sauce. We also had the grilled seafood platter and it was decent, particularly the gamberi rossi and the squid, the swordfish was a bit overcooked and dry. The views from the outside restaurant tables were nice and they have large awnings that provide good shade.

    We stopped here on our seaside walk along the perimeter of Ortigia. Afraid that it might be too…read moremuch of a tourist spot, I wanted to keep walking. My husband and my cousin said it look d good and they wanted to stop. I'm very glad we did. The menu has pages in at least five different languages so it was easy to navigate. The name of the restaurant indicates fish and. Hips but I didn't see this in the menu. I later leaned fish and chips means "plate of fried fish." We ordered a bottle of wine to share, a red Syrah. It was very good. I had the mixed salad with tuna. It was perfect for me. My husband had The carbonara, it had a light creamy sauce and he ate it all, he said it was delicious. My cousin had The linguini with red sauce and shrimp, he too enjoyed it. The ambience :5 Service : 5 Food: 4

    This place is MAGICAL…read more This is the most amazing place I have ever been to as a tourist in Sicily. Essentially Frutti di Mare da Nitto is a seafood market that also cooks for you if you want them to. This is essentially the tourist dream. I won't have known to come here if it wasn't for my Airbnb host, but I am so glad that I found it. Located one block from the beach, this shop is easily missed. In fact, I missed it twice because it essentially looks like seafood market. Who knew they would cook the fresh seafood for you?!? Most of the people that come here are expecting to purchase fresh seafood for home but during lunch time, some folding standing tables are set on the crowded sidewalk for people to eat at. Essentially, you can go in the store, point at the things you want them to cook for you, and they will prepare it and bring it out to you. Ugh, so amazing. This place is the perfect place for a foodie, seafood addict, basically anyone. With that said, they are not a restaurant. So if they run out of fresh seafood, they are out. When I was there, I had the fresh octopus salad, swordfish skewer, oysters, and these delicious small fishes marinated in chilly and olive oil. I wish my friend and I could eat more, but we couldn't. All in all, the bill was like 20 euros. Super affordable! Other possible dishes (from people watching) include squish ink pasta, mussels, sea urchins and more. Essentially, whatever you see in the market you can have them cook.

    Absolutely DO NOT go here unless you want rushed and rude service. The food was okay but our server…read morecouldn't or wouldn't give us the time of day to answer questions about the menu (which was only in Italian) and refused to accommodate even the simplest request like a side of pasta to go with a plain piece of fish. We weren't offered coffee or dessert and he didn't check on us once after the sparse meal was delivered. When we left we requested a cab and the person they called charged us 20 euro for a 1.4 mile ride and the whole time tried to upsell us on trips to Mt etna and other things he could do for us. His girlfriend was in the front seat. The worst of the worst of Catania. AND for any vegan out there, forget about eating. They only serve fish, according to our server. Horrible.
