Awesome sandwiches. We got #9, chef select. I asked if we could get prosciutto and the waiter told…read moreme yes, but then unfortunately they brought us a regular ham . The sandwich was still awesome with crusty bread, eggplant, mozzarella cheese, lettuce tomato, but I was looking forward to prosciutto....

They are located at the end of the street market and have seating in front of the store and across the street. I went there twice and both times, they filled up quickly. Because they are run like a well-oiled machine, any line moves quickly. I ordered a take away sandwich for my husband the first time because he was going fishing the next day and didn't know if lunch was going to be provided. It was and when he shared his sandwich with the captain and first mate, they were so excited as they knew about the place and said it's "world famous." The second time, I was doing a street food tour while my husband fished and the guide took me to ... Caseificio Borderi! I had a lovely plate of meats, cheeses and caponata. Don't let the line scare you away. This place is worth the few minutes wait to get seated or, at least to grab a sandwich to go. It's places like this that give you the true taste of Sicily!

A small an unpretentious place, it is manned by a very friendly staff. My brother and I happened to get the same sandwich; a coincidence. Salami and provolone was what we ordered. We were asked if we wanted sharp provolone and we both jumped on that. I'm tired of the wimpy provolone at home. He grabbed a fresh roll and made the sandwich up right in front of us. Our server gave us each a sample of the meat from a 8" diameter huge salami roll before making the sandwiches. Fresh and delicious. Quick and friendly service all rate a "cinque!"

Absolutely wonderful. We picked up a sandwich to take back to the hotel. Put it in the fridge. An…read morehour before dinner took it out to come to room temperature and it was perfect!!! We ordered the Licuzzui...the spicy sandwich with a kick. It had spicy Ventricina salami, roasted grilled peppers, house made spicy pepper paste, roasted ricotta and lettuce. It was all on a sesame roll that was as fresh as could be. It was huge. The two of us could barely finish it. It was packed full of meat and cheese. I could have honestly had less meat and cheese and more spicy veggies. Total cost $7 Eurs. What a bargain. Service was swift, friendly and accurate. Highly recommend. Might even return tomorrow!!

The manager with attitude approached me because I didn't eat the carpaccio, changed me anyway in full!!! I told her I was eating the same carpaccio the previous day and it was delicious.

I ended up having a lovely carbonara pasta that used ricotta cheese and parsley which made for a refreshing mix of what can be a very heavy pasta dish. The staff were super friendly and welcoming and I would strongly recommend you drop by here if you are heading into Ortygia as the prices are far better here than in town. I paid €10 for my pasta and a bottle of water.

Yow! This recently-opened mom and pop sandwich shop, just off of the Piazza Archimede (the one…read morewith Diana's Fountain) is a wonderful find! Although we ducked in to escape the torrential rain, we found a simple menu with wonderful fish dishes and sandwiches, and a homemade Caponata that really satisfies. They have a decent selection of Italian and Sicilian beers, including drafts, and a delightful array of Sicilian wines. We enjoyed it so much, we returned for lunch the next day. Cheers!

Wow, best lunch/dinner yet. We were going to eat street food at the market but decided to walk a…read morefew more feet to see L'Isoletta as we had been reading excellent reviews. We stopped looked around and decided to stay. So very glad we did. We were seated outside on the side street with a great view and the breeze at the cross street was delightful. We got our menus and just read and read. So many things to choose from. As we always(most of the time) share we decided on the Grilled Fresh Swordfish and the Busiata pasta with a Pistachio Cream sauce. When our food arrived we instantly knew they were both winners. The swordfish was perfectly cooked, tender, tasty with great seasonings....simple with the exception of the pink peppercorns which only enhanced the flavor. A simple, yet tasty side salad accompanied it on the plate to add color. And now for the winner- the Busiata Pasta cover in a beautiful pistachio cream sauce. And they didn't skimp on anything in the dish. It was huge. It was outstanding. We were full but kept going back for that last taste. We did our best but couldn't finish either. Service was great. Food came out within a reasonable amount of time and Everything was Hot! Lately I think food sits for a while at restaurants. Not this little gem. Love sitting outside watching people go by and just enjoying the food and the atmosphere.

Well this place definitely did not live up to the reviews. I got the pasta carbonara first. It was…read morepretty forgettable, bland with no flavor then I got the grilled seafood platter. What a let down. Dry swordfish. one shrimp, calamari had no flavor and the whole fish was full of bones. I had a wonderful swordfish steak in Naxos at the hotel which would blow the socks of this. Don't waste your money at this place. The prior reviews wouldn't know good seafood unless they lived by the water like I do. Oh this place was pretty empty for a Saturday night. Worst dinner I've had in a long time!

Lemon sliced so thin you don't even notice any rind or pith. Olives with a briny punch. Mint that adds just the right amount of brightness. Honey for a sweetness that magically clashes with none of the above. Paprika to top it off. And all of this on some of the most lovely, soft but crusty bread you'll ever encounter. I almost cried as I ate it, knowing how unlikely I would ever be to experience it again. I am not exaggerating.

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. They have appetizers that can be combined for a nice meal. They have a delicious appetizer called Mammamia which is an arancione with pulled pork, served with fondue cheese. 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! I've also had a pizza here on a previous visit and it was excellent.
