We were there a long time ago (2019!), we had a delicious and quiet meal here, in the beating heart of beautiful Ortigia island. Service was fast and efficient, and the selection of Sicilian wines was awesome. I had the eggplant caponata which was wonderful. But, the menu here changes almost daily so I don't know if that'll be an option when you come here. Still, everything was tasty, well-seasoned, and flavorful. Prices were very reasonable and the ambience was delightful. I hope you come and try it out too!

We were started off with excellent bread, caper berries, fava beans and hard boiled eggs. The carafes of Nero d'Avola were solid and a great value. We shared a bunch of dishes in order to try as many things as possible. Sicilians have a way with eggplant and their eggplant parmesan was deeply flavored without being heavy. The caprese salad and caponata were excellent. The fried mushrooms weren't quite up the the level of the other appetizers. The pasta a la Norma was excellent. The spaghettini Siciliana was interesting and good. The spaghetti with garlic, oil and chili was OK. This was a nice way to immerse ourselves in the local vibe.

The first time was for a lunch, where the salad (salmon, pineapple, and avocado) stood out. I went with a group of friends for dinner a few days later and all the food was great. I strongly suggest you go and try it out. If you're going for dinner, I would make a reservation as there isn't a lot of seating. This tiny little place is really a gem.

We had several appetizers, six pizzas, a couple of cocktails, and wine. The appetizers seemed like they'd gone from an industrial freezer to a deep fryer, but the pizzas were delicious and very fresh. I loved my red orange cocktail, too. My husband's cocktail had very little flavor. The service was good, not overly friendly but not rude. Prices are moderate.

My daughter also has allergies to pistachios and pine nuts and he made sure her dish was clean. The second time, it was just 4 adults walking the streets at 9pm looking for a place to get dessert and cappuccino/wine. Many places had already closed so we just came back and Ricardo was there to greet us again. The food was simply tremendous! The pistachio-crusted swordfish was one of the most memorable dishes in our time in Italy. Could never imagine a better meal, and certainly not a this affordable price. Thank you, Ricardo!
