Tavernetta Da Piero - SIRACUSA

We were referred to this wonderful place by a very nice Barka skipper Mirko whom we hired for an unforgettable private tour around the island of Siracusa. Simone greeted us warmly and we became instant friends. The service was excellent, the food was a life changing experience for us and even though we decided to try a different restaurant every night that week, we are abandoning the plan and hope they can squeeze us in next visit. This is a family run restaurant. Simone’s wife Jasmine and her sister are working there two. These people not only have established a beautifully designed place and make delicious dishes, they are humble and warm and very respectful. Don’t miss this experience next time you are in Ortigia/Siracusa.

So far the best restaurant we ate in Sicily. We ordered the pasta with seagood and eggplant with fish. Everything was very good. We enjoyed every bite. Highly recommended! We also took tuna carpacio, it was a bit less successful.

Wonderful food and charming, caring host and servers. I have just read some of the other reviews and totally agree with the description of the 'humble ' people who own and serve at this restaurant. We had happily dined her in 2015 and 2018 and returned for three nights this year. Every aspect of the restaurant is top notch. My husband, who is not prone to compliments described La Tavernetta uno da Simone as a 'well run restaurant with delicious food '. Everything that we ordered each evening was delicious and the Pasta a la Norma was the best I had ever had in 4 trips to Sicily.

Personale amichevole e proprietario preparato. Buona cucina di pesce. Torno subito.

Carbonara was very poor (scrambled eggs in pasta) everything else was very good and service was very good.
