In a quiet little square it was a perfect spot for breakfast with a good menu. We enjoyed a lemon juice a fruit smoothie with a ham and cheese piadina and a fruit, Italian yoghurt and granola. Loved it and great service. They also don’t...accept large groups which adds to its charm for a quiet breakfast.More

At the first day we went there, unfortunately they were closed due to some water problems, but we visited them the next day, and it was worth it! It’s a hidden gem within the streets of Ortigia, you need to and try a cocktail and/or...have breakfast there! It’s the perfect place for a brunch🫶🏻 The ladies are extremely lovely, friendly and helpful.❤️More

the staff was extremely rude and sarcastic the whole time we spent in this restaurant, which at first seemed cute but turned out to be a disaster. the owner proclaimed that our food was arriving slowly because the cook was cleaning the toilets (we hadn't...complained about the food coming in slow before that) which is SO disgusting. too bad i already ate my order when she said that, otherwise i wouldn't have touched it. it was pretty bad anyways, the tortilla was undercooked which is a shame because the filling was nice, and the salad tasted really cheap. also, the owner refused to let us join tables even though they were very small and the sun was scorching, so we didn't fit under the canopy.More

Lovely little cafe run by two delightful women in the heart of beautiful Ortigia. Extremely welcoming and good value. We kept going back to this place during our 7 day stay.

After looking for a lunch place and checking reviews came here. A little off the beaten path but not hard to find. Outdoor seating, no WiFi, restroom inside. Good service and food, friendly staff.

I feel genuinely sorry for people visiting Ortigia and have breakfast other places! Probably the best breakfast pancakes (with fresh fruit and cream) I have had. The yoghurt with cereals and fresh fruit were a winner as well. When we changed plans and returned for...some extra days in Siracusa towards the end of our trip, we looked for accommodation with breakfast not included. We wanted back here.More

Great place, do not miss it! Really good, fresh, and local home made breakfast and lunch food and drinks. Very good and personal service. I had the Sicilian bruschetta, cold cappuccino, and home made lemon/ginger ice tea. Delicious!!!

Great service from a small team, they were doing a great job with a busy cafe. Lovely location in a quiet piazza, felt off the beaten track. The grantia was very refreshing but we would have preferred it to be creamier! Overall very cute and...lots of the menu options looked good.More
