Lovely food and really friendly service. The atmosphere of the outdoors tables in a small side street was lovely. Service was quick (but not too quick), and the waiters were very helpful in explaining dishes and offering recommendations. We booked on the Fork with a promotion and it was applied without having to ask, as has happened in some other places. Definitely recommended - try the chef's desserts!

We ate here on the last of four nights in Ortigia, 6 weeks into our European trip and this was arguably the best meal we’ve had in that time across four countries. Our accommodation host recommended it and we are so glad we walked the short distance to get there. The waiter was delightful and we chose the chef's degustazione menu - it was delicious and from our perspective very well price (only 70 euros for the two of us). We thought we might nearly be over seafood but the small plates (three served on each occasion) were somehow both original and local - just perfect. From the  anchovies (?) with tiny asparagus to the tuna tartare cannoli and the crispy but melt in your mouth prawn with tomato jam, it was all wonderful. We had just enough room to share a dessert - a twist on tiramisu with soft biscotti rather than sponge. Yum! The Vino a Gogo Syrah type red he chose for me was light but mellow, working well with the food. It was a quiet Thursday night in April but I really hope that this restaurant has the success it deserves.

Had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at your restaurant. Our party of 5 enjoyed all the selections including the wine. Service was good even though the restaurant was full. I made my reservation through FORK and was completely satisfied. Will definitely return and recommend!

The whole experience was delightful. We arrived without a reservation and despite being quite busy were seated right away. The staff was excellent, made suggestions and was very patient with our lack of Italian. Prices were super reasonable and our meal was simply delicious. So happy we discovered this place!
