Ristorante Sicilia in Tavola

Incredible food!!! And amazing service. The tartare was probably the best I’ve ever had… perfectly seasoned and the orange sauce was so tasty. The gnocchi was perfection… . We loved speaking with the owner and seeing her passion and explanation of all the items…. Thank you ❤️🙏

We visited Sicilian Intavola twice and both times were unforgettable. The owner is incredibly present, warm, and makes the whole dining experience feel special. The food is nothing short of spectacular, fresh, authentic, and bursting with flavor. My partner said it was one of her top three meals ever which says it all. Truly a gem that we’ll keep coming back to!

Absolutely lovely. We had the gnocchi and the spaghetti with seafood and they were both delicious. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable about local wines and other delicacies and we just had the best time.

We had some amazing raw appetizers and the grilled fish platter and really good wine, while watching people going down the street.

Had what I think was mackerel (blue fish). It was the special. I enjoyed it but a little rare for some. I has a glass of Marsala at the end, parter a glass (calice) and I a beer for the actual meal . The people were very friendly. The menu was mostly local. I would recommend it, perhaps a touch expensive for what we had.

Got to know this restaurant from a random local stranger when the restaurant we wanted to go to was not opened… we are so impressed but the tastes of the food and how fresh and authentic the raw seafood platter was. Tiramisu was great and we can for sure recommend this!

Tucked into one of Ortigia’s narrow stone streets, Ristorante Sicilia in Tavola serves exactly what the name promises—Sicily, on a plate. We came here for dinner and were immediately greeted with that kind of warm, no-frills welcome that makes you feel like you’re about to eat something special. And we were right. I started with the tartara di pesce, which was hands-down one of the freshest, most delicate tartares I’ve had in Sicily. Local seasonal fish, expertly hand-cut and served with caramelised red onions and a silky tomato emulsion that somehow made every bite better than the last. It was clean, bright, and deeply flavorful. For the main, I had the spaghetti V.G.P.—a love letter to Sicilian seafood. Veraci clams and local pink shrimp, gently kissed with white wine and just a touch of datterino tomatoes, then finished with pistachio granella for texture and that signature island twist. A dish that’s rich without being heavy, and elegant without trying too hard. The atmosphere is relaxed and intimate, with just enough buzz to keep it lively. Tables are close. Service was kind and helpful—especially if you ask about the daily specials or local wine pairings. The team clearly knows what they’re doing and cares deeply about showcasing the island’s best ingredients. Will definitely return without a doubt. This place captures the heart of Sicilian cuisine without overcomplicating it. It’s honest, soulful cooking that makes you want to come back the next night.

Amazing restaurant, the stew was amazing. Prices are very fair, 55 euro for two persons (including service). I recommend it.

This place came recommended by out hotel and I'm so happy we stopped here for dinner! Cozy and it fills up fast and we got one of the last open tables when we came in. We got a few small dishes to share and every single thing was fantastic, my fave is in between the tuna tartare or pistachio tiramisu. They add a charge for when you split dishes too so just a heads up there!

A very good lunch. Definitely recommended. Started with a Marco de Bartoli sparkler €35. Good. Ceviche. Fish of the day. Excellent. Polpo salad with patatoes. Very traditional and exactly what I craved. Grilled mahi-mahi. Perfect. Macaroni alla Messina with tomatoes, raisins, light sauce. Very tasty. Bread with salt. Good crust. + Atmosphere - seats 36 inside. rustic, bric a brac. + Service - attentive and friendly + Bagno with toilet seat + Tablecloths + Music - soft jazz and blues + Pintinox hefty flatware 0 semi-comfortable wooden chairs - the spinach with the fish was boring €115 for lunch for 2

Excellent service, traditional Sicilian. Big flavors from a tiny kitchen. Even in low season was filled with Sicilians. We were the only tourists in the place. Excellent pasta and cerviche. Very fresh seafood

Cozy little restaurant. Good for a family night out. Food prepared promptly. They have many fish/seafood and pasta options. Very nice staff. Food was good and reasonably priced.

Great Sicilien food, the Best we had in Siracusa. We were lucky to get a table outside one night and had a great experience. Lovely burata, clams, pasta and swordfish. After trying other places we decided to book a table for our last dinner in Siracusa. I had the Barbara once again because It is just to die for. This time i also had dessert cannoli with ricotta lovely.

Small restaurant for a great Sicilian food experience. Pastas are amazing, the wine was excellent and the beer artiseanale was really interesting having a taste of citrus fruits.

The tuna was overcooked, nontraditional tiramisu was oddly salty, and service was inattentive. For these reasons I give a 2.

This tiny restaurant is much in demand, so reservations are essential. As a starter I had a marvelous burrata "purse" nestled in a cold tomato sauce and garnished with cherry tomato and basil. For my main pasta dish I chose house-made maccheroncini with swordfish, cherry tomatoes, capers, pistachios and cheese. The warm molten chocolate cake made for a spectacular ending. Wonderful meal, friendly service.

If you are going to try the Sicilian favorite, pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines, wild fennel, currants, and pine nuts), try it here! You will not be disappointed - even IF you are not a fan of sardines (I am not). At this restaurant, food is as it should be- simple and fresh. The seafood is perfection. Take a walk through the daily market in Syracuse to see just how fresh the fish they serve at Sicilia in Tavola is. We also had fresh sardines for an appetizer and I was blown away by how good sardines can taste! There is also a serve yourself antipasti bar. You will be charged according to the amount you take- approximately 6-7 euros for a small plate. Tasty items to share so you will hopefully still have plenty of room for your main courses.

This place is amazing, and everything but closed!!! The place is super open!! This is where you get the best pasta con le sarde, amazing raw fish appetizers, and spectacular octopus soup with potatoes and tomatoes!!!! Probably the best place to eat in Sicilia!!!

Very average. We came on Wednesday night for a dinner, we had an aubergine (what else in Sicily) cous-cous starter that was ok, then my wife had ravioli stuffed with shrimps while I had spaghetti with pistachio and some local super-olive-oil. Do not order this dish, its not worth 14 euros, its probably worth 1.4 euro, not more. Anyway, it was a ripoff, but at least somebody else will read this and decide to invest their money more wisely.

There are several terrific restaurants on this street. In terms of value for money, this is the best. I had swordfish, very fresh with a eggplant based sauce. My wife had the classic pasta Norma, which I finished; it was even better than the swordfish. It's a small place -- maybe seating 25. They try to turn two servings in 3 hours. The small wait staff has to work their butts off to pull it off. The same is happening in the kitchen.

Fennel, orange, anchovy salad was very delicious. If you want fresh homemade pasta with fresh ingredients cooked perfectly, go there!
