“Everything was fantastic, from the food to the service, we’ll kind of. The only issue was that they charged for the after dinner drinks of limoncello and 2 other types of digestives that we had, which normally restaurants offer for free as a part of the service. Each shot was €5! I was surprised by this and disappointed because it makes this restaurant seem like a tourist trap. I don’t know if in Sicily it is normal to charge for such drinks because this is our first time to take such drinks in a Sicilian restaurant but where we live in Italy, normally those after dinner drinks are offered for free.”

“Super friendly staff, inexpensive food (between 8 EUR and 8.50 EUR for a meal), they have a vegetarian Kebab option and the portion size was so big that I couldn't finish it. The french fries were crunchy and perfectly salted, there was enough seating available.”

“Absolutely fantastic seafood! Prices are certainly great for what you get. I haven’t tasted such good polpo (octopus) before and the portions are very generous. Definitely would recommend anyone that plans to visit Siracusa!”

“Such a lovely restaurant with an interesting menu, super friendly service, and beautifully presented, delicious food. There's only a couple of options on the menu for vegetarians but I really enjoyed both of them, and my boyfriend was a very happy seafood lover. We had a great evening in their beautiful restaurant, and enjoyed hearing about the inspiration behind the menu and the ingredients used, such as their own olive oil. Definitely recommended!”

“After 12 days in Italy, we were in need of something other than traditional Italian dishes, and this place was close to our AirBnB. Seeing previous reviews now, I'm surprised at the negative reviews as we had an excellent experience!! We were seated promptly at 20.30 (on a Wednesday), and the all you can eat menu was explained. We speak English, and I believe Italian was perhaps the second language of some of the servers, so a language barrier was to be expected, but didn't cause any issues for us! When in doubt, point at menu items and hold up a 1 or 2 with your hands and smile :) We ordered dumplings (ravioli), tempura shrimp, salmon nigiri, tamaki cones, and a few sushi rolls. Everything came out in courses, and was fresh (fried food had just been fried, sushi was appropriate temperature). The cut on the salmon of the nigiri was perfect with the ratio to rice. Rice was cooked and seasoned appropriately. We never felt rushed or ignored, and the back room we were in was pretty much full of tables. Overall I'd definitely recommend eating here, we had a great experience and left happy and full from a delicious dinner!”
