Amazing 35 euro 6 dish all seafood menu, including wine, water, grappa and coffee. All first class. Top quality and too much of it.

Very central on Ortigia. As usual, I hit tripadvisor, and thanks to my fellow reviewers, we found this place. Oh what a delight. The restaurant is on a little side street of the main road on the island. The restaurant is beautiful inside, a really great atmosphere. The host/staff were very friendly and hospitable. They came over, and quickly explanined... More

We went here with the recommendation of a local we were staying with and it was the best choice of our whole 2 weeks in Sicily! We asked the morning before if we could book a table which they were happy to do (good thing as it was full on the night with lots of groups turned away) and informed... More

This little osteria is well worth it if you like your fish and sea-food. There is no menu as such, and it's a fixed price (€35), which may seem odd and a bit pricy; but it is well worth it! The chef created a menu depending on the catch of the day, and on what fish or sea-food is in... More

Amazing experience, first night and first dinner in Syracuse , the specialties of the chef Carlo and the nice service of his son, were the perfect combination of a great dinner. You should not miss this experience, we are thinking of going again!

Well, as the other reviews said, there is no menu, and it is a fixed price. It says so on the card (as it is no menu), so you know you hand yourself into the hands of the chef. And it is just great. Basically the best the mediterranean sea has to offer will land on your plate. The house... More

No menu, just the specialities of the chef, predominantly seafood. The price is fixed at 35 Euro per person and that's what you'll pay. Seafood lovers delight.

Thanks TA for suggesting this gem! We had reserved dinner there for our first night in Sicily, and after a very long day of traveling, after which our bags did not arrive, we were hungry, tired and cranky. Until a bottle of wine and the most beautiful plate of oysters, sardines, shrimp and sundried tomatoes arrived - YUM. And it... More

We took a group of about 16 to Apollian and had their fixed price menu. We had had a large lunch so we weren't real hungry and couldn't eat everything but all dishes were very good, especially the large grilled prawns. Very fresh seafood and good service. Would definitely go back

Very pleasant spot in Syracuse. We love fish so gave this restaurant a go. We weren't disappointed. However be prepared for some raw fish. Our first course had oyster and raw langoustine. Absolutely delicious. Mind you six courses was a bit much for both of us. We booked but it wasn't absolutely necessary, some parties just arrived on the night.... More
