We've been coming here year, after year and never left disappointed. The service is always amazing, the staff is extremely professional, polite and caring. The space is lovely, modern, with a hint of sophistication, a different offer from the rest of the more traditional competition in San Vito. The food is incredible and this is the main reason why we come back. When I think gourmet I think about small courses, over priced, pretentious, but Syrah serves what gourmet should aim to be: balanced dishes, with great flavours and textures, fresh ingredients, satisfying portions and fair priced. Yes, it's probably one of the most expensive restaurants in the San Vito main street, but it's worth it! The wine list also offers and good variety of local Sicilian and Italian wines, with different flavour and price ranges.
We started our meal sharing the "Tortino di Melanzane" (fried aubergine, fresh tomato sauce, salty ricotta cheese), for main course I had the off-menu "Couscous Nero di Seppia i Crustacei" (Couscous in cuttlefish black ink and seafood) and my girlfriend had the "Spaghetti alle Vongole" (pasta and clams). We had a Sicilian white grillo, "La Pura". We were more than happy with the food.
If you come, definitely book a table in advance. The in-garden is a lovely place, but we were late to book it. We decided to take a table on the street, which was lovely (the weather helped a lot), just don't be surprised if people stop to stare at your food.
Covid-19: the staff all had masks on, menu is available scanning a QR code or you can request a paper menu at your own risk. Everything was spotless and immediately cleaned after someone leaves.
This is our favourite place in San Vito for a reason and this is why we always recommend it.
