We arrived for dinner, without a reservation, just as the restaurant was opening. We were made as welcome as though we were regular customers arriving at 10 at night. The restaurant is charmingly decorated and the service excellent. We enjoyed a very Sicilian yet very sophisticated dinner with a well recommended wine. Our best meal in our three days in... More

Very good family managed restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed, the place is elegant and sober, the hosts are very friendly and ready to give comprehensive explanation or request. In a region where quantity often prevails over quality, here's a place offering tasty Sicilian food with a modern touch, well prepared and presented, with the right amount of condiment. Even their...

We really enjoyed our meal in Oinos. For starters we had shrimps with courgettes and aubergine followed by beef for my wife and dophin fish(not dolphin) for me .Both starters and main courses were delicious.The portions are small but great care is taken with combining flavours and the end result is very appetising. My wife choose the chocolate dessert and... More

This was not only by far the best restaurant in Ortigia, it was one of the best I have been to. Imaginative Italian cuisine and harty portions. Stuffed rabbit for starters and a beef fillet to die for. Serice was excellent and the owner is a gentleman. I would thoroughly recommend the place. Just wish I could find a meal... More

I have to say I was really disappointed in Oinos. Although the food was interesting and definitely trying to be creative it frankly wasn't very good. For example, the amuse bouche was a single stuffed raw cherry tomato. Perhaps it was from Pachino but the takeaway was of the skin and that the dish was just an overworked fetish. And... More

Dear Orsino, we read your review and we are terribly sorry for our mistakes of that dinner night. We could find a lot of excuse about that but the real thing is that you and your partner have had a bad dinner in our restaurant. If you will be in Siracusa next year will be happy to have you again... More

Great atmosphere - family operation. Mostly seafood. Pastas were excellent and flavorsome and the right portion size. Mains were small but extremely tasty. I would have preferred a side of vegetables but that is not on offer here. The cannoli were to die for. Wine list was extensive, if a little expensive. Not a cheap meal out but one of... More

My husband and I were the only diners in this restaurant on a weekday evening. The meal was very good with excellent bread and succulent steaks. (We were avoiding fish after 10 days eating it elsewhere in Sicily). The service was most attentive and helpful. More
