Great place to eat gluten-free in Syracuse. We ate there two nights in a row, their pizza crust is just the right amount of crispy. We loved the seafood spaghetti and the tiramisu, excellent. Very nice setting in front of the Duomo. The servers are friendly, I absolutely don't understand all the negative comments. As for gluten-free, they are competent on the subject and validated by the Italian Celiac Association. They have a separate menu with gluten-free dishes, you have to ask for it when you arrive (it's less extensive than the normal menu but there's still plenty to enjoy). The dessert menu is the same, the desserts available in gluten-free are indicated with a symbol (be careful though, you have to specify when ordering that you want the gluten-free version, the symbol just indicates that both versions exist).
Honestly just a really disappointing experience. We went because they had a gluten free pizza base (extra €3.90) but it honestly seemed frozen or store bought. It went super hard really quickly and just wasn’t great. As a coeliac it didn’t feel like a safe or decent option at all.
Service was pretty rubbish too. One female waitress was actually really lovely but the rest (all guys) were rude and just couldn’t be bothered. My partner was offered to try the red wine available. One was cold and stale. When asked if they had a regular room temperature option, they shrugged us off.
When we asked to take our leftovers they brought one box for both pizzas, even though one was gluten free and the other wasn’t, which just isn’t ideal. Then we noticed a wine on the bill that we didn’t even have. The waiter did fix it and say sorry, but it was such a half-hearted standoffish apology. Then he just sort of chucked the new bill on the table.
Overall it felt like a tourist trap. Definitely wouldn’t go back, especially if you’re coeliac or just expect basic good service.
Excellent gluten-free pizza! Service was slow, but fine. We had to pour our own water and hunt down plates for bread. Restaurant is in a quiet alleyway and has outside seating, though we did eat inside to escape the heat. I only put four stars because it’s not on the water or with a fantastic view, but the inside is very clean and tastefully decorated.
Delicious food and very kind staff!
If you pass through Syracuse you cannot miss this fantastic place.
They also have vegan and gluten-free options, so suitable for everyone!
Super recommended 👌🏻
The food was very tasty. The waiter speaks English. Gluten-free dishes are also available here. I think that's great. The dessert was also delicious. Thank you for that.
Small and charming Osteria just outside Ortigia, the owners Fabio and his wife are 2 really kind people, professional and available to customer requests, excellent food at reasonable prices.
Possibility to eat something Gluten Free.
Highly recommended
This place is such a jem. Outstanding seafood for locals. You can eat al fresco in the street. Loving their mixed fish starter with so many different dishes and home-made gluten free pasta.
I will definitely come back again.
I was in this restaurant at the beginning of November, a logistically nice restaurant, from the terrace you can see the sea, we had a plate of good swordfish, good octopus and potatoes and a plate of grilled vegetables. with 1 bottle of water and 1 coffee. Price 51 euros. the only dish that seemed a little above average in price was the vegetable dish at 10 euros. otherwise normal. The staff very kind and helpful.
I also reported that I could not eat bread with gluten and they gave me gluten-free bread (This is a service that I found in many restaurants on the tour I did in eastern Sicily during the week).
