10 Food & Drink in Syracuse That You Shouldn't Miss

August 9, 2021 Nicolette Lion

Once one of ancient Greece’s most important cities, today Syracuse (Siracusa in Italian) is a lively town of about 125,000 on Sicily’s southeast coast. The city overflows with amazing remnants from its long history. Romans, Vandals and Normans are but a few of those who ruled here after the Greeks. In Syracuse’s harbor, Ortygia Island (also called Città Vecchia or Old City) is the site of many of the main attractions, including the seventh-century cathedral and the Fountain of Arethusa.

Sicilian Demo Cooking

Reviewed By jsgoldberg - New York City, United States

My family of five, including kids 10, 8 and 5 years old, had the best day cooking with Fiora! We met her in the morning, visited the market, decided on a menu for lunch and bought all the ingredients fresh from the butcher, fishmonger and farmers. Fiora is a great presence and knows her vendors well -- we were able to get the freshest fish, meat and other products. We then returned to her apartment, which is stunning, and all together prepared one of the best meals of our lives! Fiora had made homemade cannoli shells in the morning before she met us and served them with fresh ricotta cream. They were amazing! My entire family loved it ! This is an experience that we will be talking about for the rest of our lives. Thank you Fiora! We hope to see you again soon.

Azienda Agricola Pupillo

Important: visits and tastings are only by booking in advance. The Pupillo Farm, founded in 1908, occupies a large part of the land which once constituted the fief of Targia, famous not only for the medieval Solacium castle but also for the fertile soils which give a unique taste and scent to a variety of products: wines, olive oil, fruits and vegetables. The courtyard in front of the castle, the cozy and elegant interior court, the old millstone and the historic garden can be visited in conjunction with a wine tasting.

We really enjoyed our visit here. Sebastiano was friendly and very informative. He gave us a very interesting talk about the history of the castle and gardens, before the tasting of 3 wines with pairings of food for each one. We arranged the visit ourselves and had taxi there and back from Siracusa for 50 euros . All in all good value and enjoyable tour.

Giovanni Maltese

Ortigia "declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005 and included in the World Heritage List. Many of the island's attractions are a stone's throw from the house: a short walk through one of the typical alleys of Ortigia will take you to Piazza del Duomo, with its unique Cathedral built on the ruins of a Greek temple (5th century BC). Less than 150 meters away, you will find one of Syracuse's landmarks, the Temple of Apollo and only 700mt from the beautiful "Fontana di Aretusa", a freshwater spring populated by ducks and papyrus plants, whose origin is rooted in Greek mythology. The Bellomo Museum, the typical and picturesque fish market of Via Trento and the "Castello Maniace", a fortress located at the end of the island, are within walking distance. The island of Ortigia is the beating heart of the whole city: just a square kilometer yet an enchanting treasure trove of treasures and natural beauties ready to amaze you. Temples, castles, ancient aristocratic residences
