Locanda Mastrarua - Speisekarte

Very tasty food and outstanding, friendly service. We wanted a light evening meal, so we shared several plates here and everything was quite good. Anchovy cake, fettuccini with red mullet, and veal meatballs, with a carafe of local white wine.

We just arrived in Ortigia and while we walk in the beautiful historical center, my wife and I stayed at this place. The boss/owner welcomed us kindly. We had the 5-course fish tasting menu to taste local dishes. It was very tasty and fresh, local cuisine. Stop if you happen to be in Ortigia and want a wonderful experience!

The restaurant seems a little overrated. We did enjoy the mussel soup a lot even though it was too heavy on the salt. Then the pastas were a clear disappointment, really lacking flavour especially the carbonara. The sea urchin pasta had some flavour but the amount of sea urchin was minimal and the presentation was not appetite inducing.

The most amazing food in Siracusa. Chef Andrea is a real craftsman and makes wonders with pasta and fish, we came back almost every night. The atmosphere and hospitality do not fall under the aromas, so the Locanda is also a pleasant place to hang out. Remarkable dishes: Tuna Carbonara, Tuna Steak, Pasta alla Norma, Pasta with fresh zoccola

This unassuming little place has good service and tasty food. A mix of local and tourist eat here. The servers speak little English, but they do have menu in multiple language. I am really happy with the clam pasta. My husband also got a fish pasta and he is quite happy with it. I can’t remember the names. The appetizer were also really good, both from the meat section. Also, if you have room, try their dessert.

I'm here now. The Pistachio gnocchi is very good. I know it's a specialty in the region, and yum. My back hurts and the host offered to pack it for me, but I really wanted to sit and eat. Tomorrow is a booked night, so I'm glad I stopped today. It's full at 9:15, so come earlier for a table and reserve on Saturday. There's an enchanting British couple here who abused me for someone else and they're always coming here. I didn't even order seafood here, but despite my back injury, I'm glad I stopped for dinner.

As a family of six, with two vegan members, we were looking for an authentic Sicilian culinary experience. We enjoyed meat, fish and vegetarian tasting menus. The food was excellent, the staff courtesy and friendly, the service was good despite a busy evening. The house wine was some of the best we had. We had the chance to talk to the cook a few times when he came out to check that we enjoy the meal and express our thanks for taking our vegan members. Some of the dishes demanded our American midwest culinary palette, but it was delicious. That was really one of our best meals in a country with great food.
