Wow. What a find. Got a recommendation from our Air BnB hosts in Syracuse and the ride was so worth…read moreit. Buccheri is up in the hills so it was windy and cooler so we worked up an appetite walking around with our guides Francesca and Jennifer. The wine was great and only 3€ for a pitcher that gave us both two glasses. Amazing. The food was all local as the name suggests so it's totally organic and sooo fresh. Even the olive oil is made in town and there is no way to explain how good it tastes. Just the bread and oil were to die for. The pasta we had was ravioli with a silky smooth tomato sauce that managed to be bright and not acidic. Very creamy ricotta cheese filling. A thin but tender steak and simple arugula salad finished off with the best pomegranate sorbet I've ever had. Full of flavor but not too tart. Service was prompt but not doting. All for less than 50€. Unbelievable. Pinch me. Loved this place.

Offering a menu in English as well, this ensures that you will not have an issue ordering if the Italian language is not there yet. I opted for the local spaghetti with anchovy, lemon, and cheese; and it was what you would expect for a great home cooked meal. Do call in advance for a reservation as they can fill up quickly during a nightly service.

It was an elegant tasteful fish sandwich, a variety of every amazing fish mixed together, on a tough rock hard, probably handcrafted sourdough bun, with a white cream sauce on top of the yellow American cheese that tops it off.

There was a table outside available just as I approached the place so I was fortunate enough to not have to wait. The space inside is very small and only about 4 small tables on the outside so be prepared to potentially wait. I simply put in my order for the Pesto di Pistachio Pasta and Hugo Spritz and people watched while I waited. The spritz came quickly so I enjoyed the refreshing spritz while waiting for my pasta. When I got my order and took that first bite...pure bliss. The al dente pasta and the subtle pistachio pesto flavor was delicious. Bite after bite and sip after sip, the whole experience on that outdoor table while watching the time pass was relaxing and satisfying. As I dined, I saw more and more people come and wait and I learned they have another location very close by. The waiter would walk them over to that location if they so pleased. The staff mainly speak Italian so be prepared for a language barrier. However, they were all very patient and friendly so no need to worry :)
