We ate at Don Camillo on a Friday night. There was no buzz, in fact very little ambience at all. The food was good, but nothing remarkable. The wine which the sommelier chose for us was also good, but nothing remarkable. Would we return? Yes. But there are other restaurants in Ortigia that have better atmosphere and better food. More

This establishment and its chef live on a reputation mainly built trough TV appearances on popular lunch-time shows and seems therefore to appeal much more to tourists than to locals. The restaurant is not ugly but lacks personality. Same goes for the staff, rather cold and unfriendly. It serves Sicilian dishes, striving to make them more sophisticated but often unsuccessfully....

We wanted to try a little nicer restaurant for a special occasion, and were a little disappointed. I didn't think anyone here was having a very good time. The food was good but the waitstaff was stuffy and preoccupied. (although it wasn't very crowded) We could barely wade through the huge wine list and ithe wine was quite overpriced for... More

Our experience here was wonderful. From the beautiful vaulted stone ceilings to the professional service to the fantastic food. One of the best pasta courses I have had on the trip so far. If you have limited days here in Syracuse, make this place one of the top choices. More

After a series of mediocre meals in Sicily I was beginning to think that all was lost. Don Camillo saved the day. The ambience, service and food were just what I expect when I go to a better Italian restaurant. The food was all creativelly and perfectly prepared, the wine list interesting and the atmosphere charming. This restaurant I well... More

We had heard that Sicily has the best food in the world, but our first few experiences, in Catania area, left us wondering. This place made up for it, it was wonderful. On a side street that took a bit of finding, it is larger inside than it looked. A welcoming staff could not have been nicer and the menu... More

Good food based on Sicilian produce and tastes. Great wine list. Good location in an old nunnery. Thoroughly enjoyable evening. More

We liked the atmosphere in this place and the fire from the pizza oven also chucked out a cheery glow on a chilly night. our food was tasty, risotto and pasta and we also had delicious and chocolatey desserts. the waiters were exceptionally relaxed with the exception of one noticeably grumpy female waitress.

We spent two nights in Syracusa in March, 2012. On both nights, we had our dinners at the Don Camillo which was just 3-4 minutes walk from our Hotel, the Livingston. The first night's Fish tasting menu at 55 euros per person, was simply wonderful. They were able to cook tuna to make it taste like beef, believe it or... More
