Not what I was expecting but it was novel and refreshing. The "cheese" plate was excellent and I didn't miss the dairy. You wouldn't necessarily mistake it for the real deal but the fact that they're actually cultivating bacteria to mirror the natural processes of aging and fermentation is pretty amazing. Pastas we're fantastic, we had the carbonara and tagliatelle with ragu. I can't say I'd order my secondi again, but it doesn't appear to be on the current menu, and it is a matter of taste not quality. My dining partner loved her soy medallions as well as the cannolo served for dessert. As with everything in Sicily, value is incredible. We're talking €50 pp for a multi course, world class gourmet meal. I honestly would not be surprised to pay 4x in NYC or Chicago. If you're a vegan, this is probably worth the drive from anywhere in Sicily even without everything else Siracusa has to offer, and non-vegans won't be disappointed either.

Excellent vegan food! This is an stylish restaurant with a fresh take on food. I highly recommend…read moretheir vegan cheese plate of house-made cheeses. It was incredible. We also got a vegan burrata that was delicious. That would have been enough for lunch, but we decided to try some pasta as well. Everything was absolutely excellent! Don't miss out on this one.

A classic story beautifully told and with great technic in handling the puppets. We all enjoyed it with comments and applauds. One must admire the people behind Teatro dei Pupi in Siracusa. A theater, a workshop and laboratory... and a museum! Lovely to have something else than souvenirs and gift shops, you name it! Thank you!

Ancient Greek Ruins!…read more Closes early in winter at like 3 p.m. Since my trips to Siracusa or Syracuse (I have seen both spellings) has always been in late afternoons due to my husband working endless hours-this trip to Italy was hardly a vacation since I dare not venture out alone. This was one of the stops that I tried to visit a few times while in Siracusa but never made it in. I heard the ruins here are quite a site to see. It's a huge park that is gated and secured so if you don't make it in you still will not even catch a glimpse of anything, unlike the ruins in Agrigento or Taormina. If you are on base go to the ITT office and secure a tour they offer a tour once a month. 45 min drive from Sigonella. Make it early if you can they open at 9 a.m.

I could have learned so much more if there had been more information displayed in a language that I understand. I can understand some of the Italian but not so much. But resources are limited in Sicily and being a visitor, it is up to me to bridge the linguistic gap. I was in luck that a museum official was giving a tour to what must have been some special tourists and doing so in English. He was kind enough to let me listen in and even ask a couple of questions. That was the bright spot of my visit.
