This cozy spot in a charming alley offers a welcoming atmosphere with rustic stone arches and modern decor. While the service is generally excellent, gluten-free diners should note mixed experiences with the gluten-free options and consider the ambiance and location in the center of Ortigia for their visit.

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.

Very good pizzas (one of them gluten-free, not homemade dough but tasty). Very nice atmosphere inside, but we preferred sitting outside in the small alley.

Welcoming and fairly fast service (I went on a Saturday night and waited about half an hour but in the meantime they brought me some appetizers). Having booked I didn't wait to get a table, it's a nice place and the price is affordable for a tourist location 😊 I recommend it. I'll start by saying that I'm not celiac, but for those who are I saw there was also the possibility of making gluten-free dough 😊
