A Putia

SUPER busy and popular restaurant and we waited 15mins for a table. Was recommended this place from our accommodation, and it did not disappoint. Wonderful local food and wine. Very tasty and brought out fast considering how busy it was. Highly recommend!

The food was really delicious, and the decor was very cute. I recommend the rigatoni dish but it’s quite a small portion. The starters were nice as well. I was very uncomfortable by the attitude of the servers, they were passive egressive to customers and to the people in the kitchen. Additionally, the servers were not attentive enough to keep up with all the tables even though the place is quite small and there were 3 of them. They run out of the meatballs after my serving which was still quite early after opening.

I was really looking forward to eating here, having heard so many good things about this place. The ambiance and location of the restaurant are delightful, and the service is truly lovely. However, the food was not as expected: our appetizers were great and varied, and desserts were really good (try all of them!), but my tuna with pistachio crust was fatty and low quality, which was disappointing. All the pastas were excellent, but some of us got soups with calamari, and that was also subpar. Truly a pity, since good fish shouldn't be hard to find in Ortigia! I recommend appetizers, pasta, and desserts - I unfortunately cannot recommend the rest. :(

Great place. Not too hard to get a table at lunch but for dinner it is always full and you will have to wait. I took a lot of pictures that you can see.

This was my first time dining at this restaurant, and it exceeded my expectations. The food and drinks were fantastic, with the swordfish being a standout dish—perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The ambiance and service added to the overall experience. I’ll definitely be returning!

As vegetarians (no fish), we ordered the caponata, the pistachio pasta, and a zucchini eggplant starter. Everything was so delicious. Would highly recommended. This has been my husband's favorite pistachio pasta thus far in Sicily. My sister and I loved the caponata. The place gets busy and has limited seating so try to arrive earlier than peak times. Otherwise you'll end up waiting.

Dined here outside late Nov 2024 with a group of 4 for dinner and had a great experience. Each of us got a pasta entree and shared a bottle of wine. The pistachio pesto was standout, so much so that I purchased a jar from their retail space next door that also offers other food and home products. I appreciated the eclectic but intentional style, making everything feel approachable and high-quality.

Stumbled upon this restaurant while exploring Ortigia & decided to give it a try for dinner. Cannot say enough about how delicious every course was. Definitely a must try if you are in Ortigia! Everything was so fresh and so good. The staff was so helpful and efficient. It can get busy as the night goes on, so would suggest trying to get there early. We arrived around 6pm and got seated right away!

We went here for dinner on recommendation from our hotel. It was ok, not great. I found the pistachio pasta very heavy. Also seating is limited, tables are small and not very kid friendly.

Phenomenal! Quaint with a warm feel of home. Literally everything we ordered was delicious. They don't not accept reservations, allowing everyone a chance to eat there. I ordered a soup with chickpeas and the pistachio crusted tuna which was out of this world! Don't pass on the desserts as well.

All good. Food, service, ambiance, cost. And open when others are closed, before 7pm. Highly recommend.

This place is darling. We loved it so much we ate there 3 days in a row for either lunch or dinner. Absolutely recommend eating here! I will have dreams about the Ciclope!

This is a small/charming and very delicious restaurant in Siracusa. Don't be surprised if there is a little wait because people know about it. Service was great, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the location is very central. I like how they don't take a midday riposo so you can eat/relax here when it's convenient for you. My friends and I had a few dishes. We enjoyed the sample appetizer which I highly recommend. I had the duck dish which was good, but probably wouldn't get it again. The swordfish looked yummy so if I'm ever back here, I'll probably have to hop on that. I recommend sticking with seafood dishes at this restaurant. A Putia is probably one of the best restaurants in Siracusa so don't miss out!

This is the best place hands down I've eaten at while visiting Italy. I would give it 6 starts if I could. Absolutely delicious. Can't go wrong with any of the items. Very warm and cozy. Great staff.

Good, small restaurant. The bruschetta was wonderful as was the soup. The pasta was a bit heavy. Overall good restaurant

Love this place. I wish they took reservations but the wait is worth it. Delicious food combined with good service make for an enjoyable experience.

You wait but it's worth it. Small homey place. Food was so good and prices unbelievable. My husband and I shared a octopus appy which was made with just some celery and carrots along with olive oil and herbs. It was tremendous. I had grilled swordfish which was so freshly made and my husband had a anchovy pasta. Everything was yummy. And the staff were friendly and helpful. Definitely a small gem.

Four of us had dinner at A Putia. Five stars from all of us . Small space so expect a wait. Everyone had a pasta dish. Very reasonable prices. Would go again

The pork ribs were baldly cooked, almost half raw - and that was the dish after 1hour wait because they mistook my order before - a bit disappointing.

ABSOLUTELY excellent. The bruschetta is fresh, the pasta is a delicacy. Great service, great food.

This place was open when the other places were closed. Especially convenient for American habits of eating dinner around 5:30 which is when we went. Even the fresh bread was excellent. Swordfish with olives and capers were good. The wine pour this gentleman gave us was monumental. More than three fingers. Roasted zucchini to die for. Love this place. Service was great without being pretentious.

Was in Sicily visiting family and decided to go to Ortigia, island off of Syracuse. Great place for lunch or dinner! Economical and delicious Sicilian cooking. Had grilled swordfish which was soooo good.

This restaurant was recommended to us by the guy in our b&b. Although the interiors were a little ideosyncratic and haphazard the service was great and the food was so tasty. We were told that this place would serve up typical siciliana dishes. Well - it was YUM! I got a lovely pasta pistachio bacon and cream dish! Soooo good! And lots of choice for wine by the glass which was good! I would definitely recommend this place for the pasta dishes!

Great lunch here, very busy but found table easily. We had a great pistachio pasta and charcuterie and cheese plate that outstanding tartufo cheese. Very highly recommend!

This is a very tiny restaurant with delicious food. It's a little bit down from the main square of Ortygia but you'll know you've reached when you see the people waiting in the street for a table. We had delicious pasta, fish, and a yummy tiramisu.

Went twice for dinner during our stay in Ortigia (Siracusa). Both times we both had great meals. Decent prices too. Only down side was that space was tight.

Great little restaurant. Excellent authentic food and friendly service. Good prices.

Excellent restaurant with good wine and nice service. It's really busy until late and you will have to wait a little, but it worth it! !!

Cute little restaurant. Our waiter was really nice. The pasta alla Norma was good. The assortment of cheeses wasn't that great but that might be a personal preference thing. The bread was good.

Small charming restaurant. Friendly, helpful waiter. English menu if you ask but full of locals. All four of us loved our meals but it was the best tuna pasta I've ever eaten!

From Antipasti to dessert, all the dishes were very good.! You need to be there around 19:30 otherwise you must wait...
