Reviews Summary

La Tavernetta Uno da Simone is celebrated for its authentic Sicilian cuisine, particularly its fresh pasta and seafood dishes, all served at reasonable prices. Diners frequently praise the friendly and attentive service, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few mention that some dishes can be heavy due to abundant olive oil and dressing, and that service can be rushed during peak hours.

"One of our best meals here in Ortigia. Our meal here was excellent : the service, Jasmin our waitress was so pleasant and attentive giving us the best suggestions for our meal, she suggested for me a swordfish with crusted pistachio and it was amazing!!! The ambiance of the restaurant was nice, the owners were checking at the tables, serving food as well, very reasonable pricing for the quality of the food we had. A 5/5 restaurant."

Laura Paz

"Came here twice during my three day stay in Ortigia. Delightful food and a huge shout out to Yasmin, our server on both visits who always had a big smile and an infectious laughter. Best pasta we have had in Sicily so far - I recommend the ‘mountain and the sea’ pasta with mixed seafood and porcini mushrooms. Their grilled octopus was also perfectly seasoned and melt in your mouth tender. I would have come back a third time if my stay was longer.

P/S: the octopus was so good that I’d forgotten to take a pic at the start.. thus the half eaten pic 🤣"

Adrian Kong

"We came here as a family during our stay in Syracuse, and this was one of our favorite meals in Sicily.

The food was absolutely delicious — especially the fresh pasta with pumpkin cream and red shrimp, which was rich and flavorful without being too heavy. The grilled seafood and fish stew were incredibly fresh and full of taste, and even the grilled vegetables were done perfectly.

The staff was very kind and attentive, and the whole evening felt warm and welcoming.
It’s a lovely place to enjoy a relaxed and authentic Sicilian dinner with family. Highly recommend!"

The 7 Best Gluten-Free Seafood Spots in Siracusa

Excellent cuisine even GLUTEN FREE, definitely worth trying the first courses. Environment 3 because the room is hot despite the fans and air conditioners being turned on (?) and with the temperatures reached this year everyone was in a bit of difficulty.
