Nice dining room in the basement of an old building in the central Cathedral square. I don't mind the idea of furnishing it in a modern and stylish fashion, but you need to spend a lot more not to make it look like a "Kartell" showroom. The young waiters ware very friendly and professional. The food is typically Sicilian with... More

This is not your local family style restaurant. This is a very good but modern restaurant serving first-rate food. The setting is a vaulted stone room with very modern furniture, The atmosphere may be a bit off-putting to some. The food was really good and the combinations of food are definitely reaching to a more sophisticated clientele. Service was very... More

Regina Lucia is without doubt the best restaurant in town. The location is astonishing, on the breath taking Piazza del Duomo in Ortigia. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, with interiors in the local warm limestone, arches, wisefully combined with some baroque pieces and some modern ones. The service is perfect: always present, discrete, kind, not intrusive. The menu exciting,... More

We'll likely give them another try though, maybe when it's warm enough to dine outside on... More

It was beautiful inside, Modern with a touch of classic Baroque surroundings seen throughout Sicily. We will be... More

Vaulted stone ceiling in the main dining room dining room, luxuriously appointed, excellent service. Complimentary aperitif and mini-antipasto before our lunch of Tagliatelle with Seafood (a tad salty) and Slow Roasted Saddle of Pork with Mash Potatoes (tender and flavourful). More

You can't go wrong. Everything was above and beyond and extraordinary. We have eaten at a few michelin star restaurants and found this to be superior. The cheese plate with accompaniment of fruit reduction, honey and nero d'avola was our favorite. Ths setting is ecclectic and exciting blending the old with a very modern feel. The service was attentive but... More
