This was an incredible place to get delicious pizza on focaccia bread! It's affordable and…read moredelicious...a win-win. I didn't see too many tourists going here, even though it's in a touristy area, but definitely a lot of locals hitting up the restaurant. You can eat outside if it's a warm day, otherwise takeaway is completely acceptable. They are closed on Mondays. I had the zucchini pizza and it was simple, but hit the spot. It also served as a nice respite from eating so many tomatoes in other Italian dishes.

Don't be fooled by the words "fast food" at this cute restaurant that overlooks the sea. Enjoyed by…read moreboth tourists and locals, Mokrito serves amazing drinks and food with a great view of the sea. It was really mainly the atmosphere and my tasty German beer that made my time memorable. Otherwise, while the food was above average (recommend any seafood dish), it wasn't the best. It wasn't a perfect experience because they didn't have any fruit smoothies/cups available, service was a bit slow, and the Salmon Carbonara dish I ordered was a bit lackluster with the fish.

The Ortigia Street market is really great place to explore when you are in sircacuse, the markets…read moreare nice and authentic with a stream of locals snapping up the best and freshest produce and fish you can buy. Also if the weather is amazing this is the perfect place to stop by for picnic items on the way to the beach. Be aware that prices for the same item can change significantly, I paid €5 for almonds in a pretty package while I saw almonds in a plain package at a different store for €2.50 so maybe have a bit of a look around before buying... I got some amazing fresh strawberries for just €1.75 which was pretty reasonable for a market snack. But sadly I didn't find any mandarins but I did see plenty of blood oranges. There are also plenty of restaurants around the markets if you are wanting a decent meal. If you are unsure where to buy from get there early and follow the locals. Any store that sells out early is usually the one with the best stuff... The markets sell everything you could imagine... * fruit & vegetables * spices and herbs * flowers * fresh fish * meat * cheese * fresh olives * tourist junk * clothes * miscellaneous items
