Wow, best lunch/dinner yet. We were going to eat street food at the market but decided to walk a…read morefew more feet to see L'Isoletta as we had been reading excellent reviews. We stopped looked around and decided to stay. So very glad we did. We were seated outside on the side street with a great view and the breeze at the cross street was delightful. We got our menus and just read and read. So many things to choose from. As we always(most of the time) share we decided on the Grilled Fresh Swordfish and the Busiata pasta with a Pistachio Cream sauce. When our food arrived we instantly knew they were both winners. The swordfish was perfectly cooked, tender, tasty with great seasonings....simple with the exception of the pink peppercorns which only enhanced the flavor. A simple, yet tasty side salad accompanied it on the plate to add color. And now for the winner- the Busiata Pasta cover in a beautiful pistachio cream sauce. And they didn't skimp on anything in the dish. It was huge. It was outstanding. We were full but kept going back for that last taste. We did our best but couldn't finish either. Service was great. Food came out within a reasonable amount of time and Everything was Hot! Lately I think food sits for a while at restaurants. Not this little gem. Love sitting outside watching people go by and just enjoying the food and the atmosphere.

What a let down. Dry swordfish. one shrimp, calamari had no flavor and the whole fish was full of bones. I had a wonderful swordfish steak in Naxos at the hotel which would blow the socks of this. Don't waste your money at this place. The prior reviews wouldn't know good seafood unless they lived by the water like I do. Oh this place was pretty empty for a Saturday night.

We got the recommendation from a local barista so we knew it would be special. We arrived early and were told to come back at 7:30 pm. When we did we almost weren't seated without a reservation. We used classic American persuasion...:). Once seated our waiter could not have been nicer and more accommodating. We asked for bread and voila the most delicious garlic bread appeared. A whole plateful! Next we added a green salad with ripe and juicy red tomatoes and a mild and flavorful dressing. Love how they shredded the lettuce! For the main we paired the daily special pasta with swordfish, eggplant , tomatoes and a blend of cheeses. Cooked to perfection! Pair with a Sicilian white wine and Italian food taken to a higher level. Enjoy!

For 40 Euros I got 6 fish courses, all of which was quite substantial. The first course of raw shrimp was so sweet and fresh that I almost let the true Asian out and sucked the heads . I was stuffed by the 4th course but powered on because I refuse to be defeated. Highly recommend this restaurant if you want to try different kinds of local seafood.

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.
