The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Syracuse – Siracusa

This grocery store of local gastronomic products turns into a lunchtime restaurant as the market closes. You can then let yourself be tempted by all the specialities on display, each one more tempting than the next. And you don't even need to know how to speak Italian: you just point and you're tempted! The assortment ofantipasti is delicious, all accompanied by a good wine. Cheese boards with pistachios and jams or cold cuts are also recommended.

Located a little before Ortigia, here is a brand new establishment, managed by Fred and Fiora in the kitchen. The super star of the menu here is the pizza! The restaurant regularly wins contests because it pays special attention to the levitation of the dough. And you can find it in all its forms: tasting pizzas with spontaneously fermented dough, wholemeal pizza, or with organic Sicilian flour, the choice is already original. The toppings are also original because here the pizza can be broken down into small toasts. An original concept!

Forget the classic pizza. Here they are revisited with imagination. Like the Pippinedda: local cheese, white mozzarella, Asina salami, a mix of greens, grilled almonds, dried tomatoes, or the Vicenza, made with black Sicilian wild pig's sausage, mozzarella, tomato sauce, mushrooms, artichokes? Also a range of vegetarian pizzas. The flour used is 100% organic. The place is also trendy with nice graphic and colourful wallpapers, because the place is also a nice bar to have a drink.

Restaurant in the heart of the Ortigia market, question of freshness, it couldn't be better! Good choice of pasta and seafood dishes of course. Beautiful Sicilian specialities with a provenience of the products. Tuna tartars, prawns, oysters, a nice octopus and potato salad, and many meats and fishes prepared in the local style. Very good value for money. Very reasonable budget, and copious plates. Simplicity and beautiful products well prepared and seasoned as in family kitchens.
