‘a Putia delle cose buone

Perfect cozy restaurant for a memorable meal. The pasta was fresh, featuring unique and refined flavors, and the portions were generous. The delicious orange salad, with its subtle touch of spice, was a nice surprise. The staff was professional and attentive. We loved it.

Excellent choice for dinner. I highly recommend the tuna and tiramisu for dessert. We also had some delicous pistachio desert with ricotta. Top service, cosy non formal environment and fun interior. Amazing prices.

I hadn’t heard of this restaurant before our vacation in Sicilia. We stayed three days in Ortigia, and on our first evening we walked by and thought about stopping but it was completely full, so we went elsewhere. The second night, we noticed a line forming outside and were a bit surprised. The same thing happened on the third night, which made us curious. After Googling it, we realized it’s somewhat of a “hype” spot, though to be honest, I don’t really understand why. Don’t get me wrong, the food is good and the prices are more than fair. But I personally wouldn’t wait an hour in line to eat here. Ortigia is full of wonderful restaurants, and it just doesn’t feel worth it to spend that much time waiting. On our last day, before our evening flight, we passed by at lunchtime and saw there were tables available, so we finally gave it a try. I’m glad we did, because now I can say with confidence that while it’s a good restaurant, it’s not outstanding enough to justify the long queues. I’m leaving a 4-star rating, but to be honest, it’s more like a 3.5 for me.

Absolute favourite in Ortigia! The location is picturesque in a small street that has fantastic atmosphere. The table capacity is limited so there is always a small line of people but its worth the wait and you can have a glass of wine as you wait :)) Food is spectacular! True sicilian and delicious! We tried the tuna steak, selection of bruschettas, meatballs in sugo, pistachio pasta, thyme potatoes and Linguine Norma - SO GOOD!

Awesome Sicilian experience. Had the pistachio pesto with shrimp pasta (be prepared for a huge portion, which is really filling - I couldn't finish it unfortunately) and the Bistecca, which was cooked medium-rare (perfection). A local beer and a glass of white whine accompanied the food perfectly and, as a dessert, we treated ourselves to a tiramisu and a Limoncello (never had a better Limoncello thank this one, it was really silky and could taste that it's proper liqueur).

Lovely variety of food. We especially enjoyed the grilled octopus, tuna with pistachio, and pistachio pasta. Don’t forget to try their tiramisu! A great spot for date nights or family meals.

Ok so the food wasn’t that special, which makes me believe this place just has hype for hype… we had to wait 40 mins to get a table (which was fine because we were expecting it, so after we put our names down on the list we went to grab a drink nearby). When you go in the vibe is good, lots of movement, interesting design, friendly staff. I was however expecting more from the food… all of it was bland and frankly I could have done better in my own house. The aubergine dish was lacking salt, the pasta wasn’t even hot enough for the cheese to melt, and it had pieces of swordfish and seeded olives (that were sour). Plus the tiramisu was made with cream and not mascarpone, what was up with that? Unfortunately it’s not one of the places I would recommend in Syracuse

Our visit was unfortunate not good at all. Grilled tuna was way too salty and poor in taste. As well as beef stake which was more like a beef chop not a steak. The bill included tips for service but we didn’t get one. The waiters were silent and in the end didn’t even ask if a food was good. The only good thing it’s that we got our meals really fast. Cannot recommend.

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...
