"Certainly the best restaurant in Siracusa, one of the very best on the island. The young, yet experienced, chef chooses sublime ingredients daily and the menu is adjusted accordingly, as witnessed in our second visit, a day after the first. An incredibly fresh and delicious tuna resulted in the finest tune tartare I have had. A generous serving of grilled octopus was the most tender and moist I’ve ever been served, despite the char of the grill. The spaghetti with speck and artichokes was sublime. Thickly cut pieces of speck retained their ham and smoke flavor to infuse the sauce brightened with fresh artichoke. Had it twice. The fish is daily market catch, and whether grilled or roasted low and slow to be perfectly moist and flavorful. Do not shy away from fish whose names you may not have heard before. The wine list is a wall of Sicilian wines you can discuss with the chef to match grape, locale, style, price to your preference. All fairly priced. Setting is light industrial style, modern and informal. The staff, following the lead of the chef, is highly accommodating. Bottom line—if you are on the east side of Sicily, make a reservation now."
