Ristorante Retroscena - Siracusa in Free municipal consortium of Syracuse

"We were referred by Enoteca Via Roma 23. The absolute best lasagna in the world. Service was friendly and caring. Wine suggestions were perfect. Unforgettable."

"Food: could be better the open lasagne was missing some salt (even with the added parmigiano, the tomato sauce was a bit blend), otherwise it was very good combination and a nice idea. The swordfish was ok. And the potato and leek piure was a little bit disappointing. It wasn’t bad, but the texture was something else from what we thought it will be. So 3.8-4/5, but I would definitely come back to try some kore visionary food! The service was spotless, thank you very much! Easy 5/5. Atmosphere: well, we had a bunch of people there..smoking and having a pretty loud talk, but this was not the restaurant’s fault, the restaurant looked pretty. 5/5. Thank you!"

"I had a lovely time at the restaurant. The food was amazing my first Italian experience in a restaurant and it was the best choice I could have made. Not only for the food but also for the beauty of the place. The decoración was georgeous and made a better experience. Also Kiri and Sophie were so nice with me. If you are in Ortigia you have to visit Restroscena , I totally recommend it"

"Stumbled on this little gem by accident walking back to my accommodation on a quiet weeknight. The staff were amazing, so patient and helpful. My meal (as recommended by the staff) was delicious and the chilled rosato equally so. Had I not been leaving Syracuse the following day, I would definitely have returned."

"What a treat this restaurant was! Nicely decorated with attention to detail. We arrived without a reservation and they were eager to make room for us. They have a regular menu and then daily specials menu. We had the arancini and special salad with arugula, peaches, avacado, and goat cheese. Both were a delight! For entrees we ordered the octopus and the lobster pasta. Both entrees were excellent. For dessert we had the sponge cake with ricotta icing another successful delicious dish. there’s no AC inside, however with the door open it was manageable. from start to finish this was a solid restaurant that gave an upscale atmosphere without the stuffy vibe! Highly recommend!!!"

"Modernized sicilian cuisine served nicely. Fresh and quality ingredients prepared with a unique touch. Cozy cool atmosphere. Very friendly staff with attentive service."

"This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous - the owner is the most lovely woman who will warmly welcome you and recommend excellent wines and dishes. I ended up visiting 3 times during my time in Ortigia! In terms of the food, any of the pasta dishes you choose, you will not be disappointed - the seafood pasta with scampi was excellent, as was the ravioli with fig. Special menu was always interesting and lots of delicious options. Have to mention the salad - It’s not always easy to get excited about a salad but, the special of the seasonal salad was phenomenal with a vibrant citrus dressing, almonds, strawberries, avocado and goats cheese - totally perfect. The owner was even kind enough to share the dressing recipe with me! She also gave me a beautiful necklace after my last visit as she makes jewellery as well as managing a fantastic restaurant - so so kind and I was so touched. Lovely wine list too with plenty of selections of local and organic Sicilian wine. Thank you so much once again, I hope to be back next year and visit you again. And I absolutely love my necklace"

"A small restaurant off the main streets offering superb service and tasty food. The owner is so friendly and helpful on choices. We discovered a new white wine which was delicious and went so well with our seafood dishes. I would certainly visit again for the food, service and just lovely relaxed vibe."
