Antica Locanda

Really welcoming, lots of specials based on the day’s freshest catch. Chef owner was really hospitable, food was simple but delicious. Low key, would highly recommend.

I have come to this restaurant the last 2 nights since coming to Siracusa. Mirko and his people have treated my wife and I like family. The food is unbelievable.....the best Burrata in Sicily....I have had the Sea Bream served table side as well all the crusted swordfish....both the best I've ever eaten. So, this may sound like most reviews....but Mirko has stopped at our table explaining which wine, which fish, which dish as prime and segundi.....and served them with love. Tomorrow night, as my wife and niece go to a cooking class I plan on eating there again as a single...knowing that a feast is in store. This made Sicily.....

Great restaurant in Ortigia. Amazing food made with love by the Chef Mirko. Very friendly and professional staff. We spent 3 days in Siracusa and we dined here twice. The Cannolo scomposto is an experience to try. Thank you for your great hospitality.

All I can say is that every course we have eaten and the wines we have enjoyed in this restaurant today have been amazing. I can’t believe we found Antica Locanda on the very last day of our trip. Make sure you come or you are missing a treat.

Super high quality and fresh food I have never had before. Very friendly staff make you feel very welcome. We had salad with orange and cherry tomatoes with burrata, fresh tasty bread 🥖 with it. Fresh fish that you can choose from the plate. I mean fresh fish is always the best and you are next to the see you should not miss this. Seriously. Giovanni was a very good server of ours gave us recommendations and perfect service. Come and have a great Sicilian gourmet journey here on this breezy terrace chatting with other tables as you wish because people are super friendly and genuine here.

One of our best meals on our trip to Italy. The pistachio pasta with swordfish was divine! The sauce was perfect. We also had a bottle of local white wine that was so good we are going to order it when we get home. Highly recommend this place

Okay that was an easy 5 star restaurant. The staff was amazing! Super friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, the service was very fast and the food was so fresh and warm. The attention to detail, the beer glass was straight out of the freezer. What a great touch! Also one of the very few restaurants that have music playing, it was very relaxing and cosy. This is an amazing value-for-money restaurant, and if you’re in Syracuse for a day you must dine here. Don’t go anywhere else, eating here will worth your time! We were two people, we had one starter, bread (included), one bottle of water, a glass of local wine, a 600ml beer, two mains and 2 desserts and we paid less than 70€. You can’t get a better deal than this restaurant. Also…you have to try the riccota dessert with the wine reduction sauce. Chef’s kiss! 🤌🏼

A fantastic diner with great sea food. Very welcoming and friendly staff, super efficient service. Thanks a lot for this great moment
