The combination of ancient cave like walls with lucite modern chairs and decor somehow worked very well. Good not great service. Great wine list and the pasta courses were spectacular....much better than the third courses actually. There was a smoked swordfish gnocchi dish that I'll never forget. They theoretically do not open until 8 or 8:15 for dinner but there... More

We had read so many reviews saying that this was the best restaurant in Ortigia, but we had a pretty disappointing experience. The room was beautiful and the decor superb, but the atmosphere was stilted and rather cold. The same can be said for the service. Our food was over-thought and actually pretty average. My husband's linguine was so hot... More

We had noted this restaurant on Tripadvisor and planned to visit during our stay in Siracusa and we were pleasantly surprised to find it while wandering around Ortigia.They had a board outside advertising a 3 course set lunch menu for only € 30.00. The restaurant inside is wonderful and the service is top notch. The food was excellent. Will surely... More

This restaurant located right in il Duomo square and we had a dinner there. The atmosphere is quite and like in good restaurant, but the stuff was really pleased to give a sit for us with a 6-moth child. We had a very tasty dinner with reasonable price and I can recommend this restaurant especially for romantic couples of course... More

We arrived in Ortigia late after a long flight, misplaced baggage, a large queue for car rentals at Catania Airport and a most frightful drive down the motorway to Siracusa due to the stress of getting used to the fast and scary Sicilian driving. After all this, I was not in the mood for dining out at this special restaurant... More

Food is very contemporary, new versions of typical Sicilian dishes prepared well. Looks good and tastes good. This place is even better in the early evening when you can watch the dome changing colors with the sunset sipping your aperitivo.

We fell upon Regina Lucia last Easter and very much enjoyed their fine dining cuisine. This Easter break, we found the food and service to be even better than 2012. The menu delivers what it says, always with a delicious muse bouche and the service is impeccable and there is an excellent choice of wines. Their fish is delivered with... More

Not cheap, but truly excellent food and very good, well chosen wine. We've eaten there twice (so far) on a week's visit in late February. The service is friendly and knowledgeable offering good advice on both food and wine. It was not warm enough to sit outside, but the main restaurant is elegant and comfortable. Beautifully situated at the end... More
