We enjoyed our dinner at Osteria. The food was exquisite and the service was attentive. We walked in at 7:30 pm on a Sunday evening and it was pretty empty. Unlike other restaurants in Sicily, Ostaria seems to have specialized in meats. Their menu includes veals, beef steaks, rabbit, pork, lamb and horse meat. Between the two of us, we shared a marinated veal carpaccio, a pasta, the lamb and beef steak. We especially liked the Bassoon pasta that was filled with eggplants and served in sheep ricotta foam and basil cream. The veal carpaccio was really good, too. They also served an amuse-bouche and different types of breads with two types of local olive oil. The ambiance is intimate and sophisticated. If you’re looking for a fine-dining experience in Syracuse that doesn’t include seafoods, Ostaria is a perfect spot.
