Ci Voleva

First time back since before pandemic. Food was delicious! We had spaghetti carbonara di mare and linguini frutti di mare. They were both very tasty and you could tell that the seafood was fresh. I will return again when I'm back in Siracusa. Highly recommended.

Its August. Lots of tourists around..so restaurants need to be ready. We sat down at 9pm and were served our antipasti at 10.30 pm. Ridiculous. And it was a hard polipo (octopuss) and a very bad caponata. Its hard to eat badly in Sicily… believe me. Here it was bad. I did not even eat my pasta, it was over cooked and the sauce’s ingredients did not mix well at all. Our daughters fried calamari were not crunchy and way too salty. While we were eating people left their tables (sick of waiting) and the table behind us (with a small child) was very irritated (after a 1 hour wait they too still did not have their antipasto). So all I. an say is avoid this restaurant. Super slow service and food was really quite bad. The only thing I enjoyed was the Swordfish in a caper and tomato sauce. It was good. But that is it.

Looking forward to this restaurant based on the Rough Guide entry, started well enough with a genuine welcome and a decent table provided. First course was ok but the much lauded main as described in the Rough Guide was a real disappointment, plenty to eat if you cared too but it really was bland. Coupled with a couple of the waiters clearly having an off night with each other we were glad to leave.

Generous portions with 25 euros per person we left the restaurant full but not heavy because the products are of quality and cooked very well

Quality restaurant, delicious octopus Luciana style, spectacular first courses and mixed fried food, we really appreciated the mustard and honey sauce
