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.

I'll leave the review in, in case Yelp notices that the location I went to isn't on Yelp. A nice jewel of a restaurant in Siracusa. Lots of choices, especially pizza.

And the chicken nuggets are excellent, served with a sweet chili sauce. The French fries are served plain or with a fondue cheese with crispy onions. Delicious!
