This small bar and deli is another must-visit spot on the fringes of Ortigia's historic market. You can choose from a generously stuffed panini, a plate of the local antipasti, or a small plate of whatever is in season from the sea. Be sure to visit the deli before you leave to stock on food-based souvenirs to take home.
If you are visiting the local historic market nearby, this is an essential place to stop and refuel. The owner can usually be found outside tempting people with paninis that will keep you full until dinner. Be prepared to practice your Italian as he engages in nonstop conversation with locals and tourists alike.
As the name suggests, this is a temple to everything from the sea, caught fresh and prepared simply. Choose from local clams, prawns anointed with lime, calamari, or whatever else that has been recently caught. Just prepared to book ahead as this is very popular with locals, and a table may be hard to find if you just walk in.
A short walk from the Fontana di Diana, this restaurant prepares traditional Sicilian dishes with a French influence, such as the savory cannoli starters. One of the mainstays on the menu is tuna lasagne, which is quite popular with locals. There are only eight tables at the restaurant so be sure to reserve ahead.
