Try the so called Demonstration Menu!<br>Three different dishes for 25 euro.<br>Very delicious food, normal prices, good service.
The restaurant is located on one of the characteristic streets of Ortigia.<br>We found it on the "TheFork" app, through which we booked a table.<br>The restaurant is small considering it's located in an old building, but it's pleasant and comfortable, at least by my standards. The food was cooked to perfection, and despite the negative reviews I'd read, what I ate far exceeded my expectations. I enjoyed the fried calamari, which was nice and dry, and the red tuna with caponata. Tasty and plentiful.<br>The service was attentive and the staff were very friendly, a habit that is being lost due to occasional restaurateurs... I'll be back.
Excellent service. Delicious food. The caponata was very good and the swordfish marinara was amazing. The recommended sparkling wine was also very good. They are professional without losing their local authenticity; in a tourist area but very authentic.
We couldnt have felt more welcome and the food was absolutely superb. Well the fried seafood was just ok, but the rest was wonderful.
We were very grateful for the host accommodating us for a table of 4 without booking. We had to wait five minutes to be seated but that was not a big inconvenience. We enjoyed the hosts advice on the food and the wine was excellent and very reasonably priced. We enjoyed the starters and the bruschetta was excellent and great for sharing between us all. I had the steak with mushrooms which was delicious. My wife had the Syracuse pasta which she enjoyed a lot. A delightful experience from a great and generous host. The staff were hard working and my compliments to them all
I had risotto and grilled vegetables, and both were delicious.
We spent 5 days in Ortigia and ate at this restaurant 3 days in a row. The fish was incredible, everything was very fresh and perfectly prepared. The service was exceptional. Highly recommended!
The best restaurant we found in Sicily
Exceptional restaurant in Ortigia. We went twice in our short stay here. Seafood fresh, octopus melts in your mouth, and pasta is heavenly. Prices were perfect and host was so sweet and hospitable. I will truly miss this restaurant!
The food is excellent, the service is spectacular, a great place to return to
Delicious fresh fish, good wine, and very friendly staff. The location was also top-notch, and the value for money was excellent. At times the service was a bit pushy, but that is the only thing to say about it.
One of the very few restaurants EVER which I came back to during one holiday. Simply because the food was so good! Also the very friendly staff, we were mainly helped by the son of the family who run the restaurant. Wine options are quite limited, but they have good options. There are seats both inside and outside. Highly recommended!
Truly exceptional squid ink linguine, creamy and tasty caponata, excellent cannoli
I had the best grilled octopus that I've ever had at this restaurant. The seafood linguine was also wonderful. The server was a lovely gentleman who checked in regularly and asked if we were pleased with the food. I certainly recommend you visit L'altra Isola if you are visiting Ortigia!
Many thanks to Johan for such a warm welcome! Delicious food, great selection of dishes, and a particularly warm atmosphere ✨ I'd love to come back anytime!
Love the cuttlefish ink pasta and the grilled seabass , ordered for takeaway and it taste just as nice . Great packaging.
