A Putia

We waited about 15 minutes to get a table — this place tends to have long wait times if you don’t arrive early, as it’s a small and very popular spot. The atmosphere, however, was lovely. There was a man singing serenades during dinner, which created such a warm and beautiful vibe. We started with the bruschetta with tomatoes, but unfortunately, it fell flat. It lacked flavor, barely had any basil, and felt a bit uninspired overall. Honestly, I’m quite sure I could’ve made a better one myself. The tomatoes tasted like the ones we get back home in Norway during winter — watery and bland. For the main, we had pasta in tomato sauce with meatballs. It was good, but we were a little disappointed. Our expectations were high, and while the dish was enjoyable, it wasn’t anything remarkable. Still, the place has charm and the service was nice, so it’s worth a visit for the ambiance — just maybe lower your expectations a bit when it comes to the food.

Surprisingly very delicious! Food is great, the location is strategic and the vibes are awesome! The food was unique with very fresh ingredients and the cheese was insane, called grillo or something similar, the manager told us that is a rare cheese and the production is limited only a few pounds from a local producer. The service was great, a lot of information about the food, the diavolo wine was very delicious and the restaurant it's very affordable and has many options. Great for family and friends to have a glimpse of the Italian cuisine.

Just saw this on google and noticed the reviews so thought we'd give it ago. Beautiful pasta, great service and nice casual vibe to the place. We went at lunch and we were able to get in straight away. That said it stayed rather busy while there so keep that in mind when coming a long.

We were lucky and found one small table inside for lunch. My husband ordered pasta alla Norma, very tasty. I ordered the sausage and it was very tasty as well. Service was also good, the only downside is that they wouldn't bring the bill. Asked like three times, waited about 10 minutes and had to go and chase them to pay.

We had the best time eating outside at this busy little place. We made fast friends with the table next to us and practically closed the place down. The pistachio tuna and pistachio pasta were amazing! Great wines too. This place gets very busy and there was a crowd waiting outside but they did a great job of getting people seated. Highly recommend!

You’ll probably will wait for a bit but it worth 100%!!! The quality of the food is top, portions are very generous, prices are very affordable! Pesto pistachio pasta is a must 🤤good wine list! Quite impressive menu as for such a small restaurant. Go, try, you won’t regret!

When i approached the owner/manager about writing my name to be in line i could hear that he made a mocking remark in Italian (this doesn’t affect the rating though). We waited one hour until we were finally seated at the outside tables. The pasta was extremely bland. All the tables around us ordered a side of salted cheese or salt to add to their dish. The bistecca was terrible. I don’t get what the hype of this place is. Maybe tourists are simply attracted by the lower prices of the dishes.

The location is great ( at the heart of the old town of Siracusa). The service is more than perfect. There was no delay in anything. Finally, this is one of the most delicious food we have eaten in Sicily. It is not overpriced and if you can eat in this restaurant you should definitely do it!

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...
