Individual ratings for Don Camillo

Location
In the heart of the pedestrian zone, on the island of Ortigia in Syracuse.
Ambience
Classic Italian. Elegantly decked table beneath stone vaults, with wine racks in the room, invite you to come in and linger.
Infrastructure
The restaurant divides into three rooms. There is a large wine cellar.
Culinary
Well-groomed Sicilian fresh-market cuisine, with focus on fish and crustaceans. By no means should you miss the dish spaghetti "delle sirene" as well as the succulent swordfish in honey. It is also a good idea to leave some room for the well-appointed cheese cart. Giovanni Guarneri actually won the 2002 CASEUS Award for the finest cheese cart in Italy.
Wine List
The lengthy, exiting wine list includes about 900 vintages.
Service
Competent, friendly and swift.

Don Camillo Restaurant, Siracusa

The Don Camillo is one of those restaurants that you just have to have been to. For if you stroll through the picturesque streets of Ortigia island, it is not always easy to distinguish spruced-up tourist traps from great trattorias with high quality fresh-market cuisine. If you feel like having fresh catch, home-made pasta or regional specialities, you should follow the examples of celebrities like Francis Ford Coppola, Jessica Lange, and Prince Albert of Monaco, and stop at Giovanni Guarneri's. He is a safe bet, for he knows his trade. Closed on: Sundays
Price range €€
We had the best pistachio ice-cream ever in this place, a soft-melting sensation! The very memory of it is about to soften us up for another trip to Don Camillo soon.
We suggest you take your aperitif on one of the countless patios on Ortigia, because the Don Camillo has only indoor seating.
