About Ortygia

Ortygia is a charming Italian restaurant that offers a unique and authentic dining experience. The menu, which changes weekly, features a limited selection of creative Sicilian dishes prepared with care and attention to detail by the passionate chef-owner, Chef Gaetano. Diners can enjoy their meals in a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, either inside or in the picturesque outdoor dining area, although the outdoor section isn't currently open. The restaurant is homey, discreet, and hidden, having been the chef’s home that he converted 18 years ago. The staff is outstanding, and the owner/chef is very personable, mingling with the diners. This little restaurant in the art district is quaint and perfect for those seeking a memorable and delicious Italian meal. Diners can indulge in delicious pastries, crepes, omelettes, quiches, and sandwiches, alongside amazing Italian wines like Chianti. The food and service are amazing, with highlights including Babbalucci con Carciofi and Veal Francese con Carciofi. Everything looks and smells amazing. A big, heavy wine glass adds to the experience, and the weekly changing menu showcases peak creativity and culinary expression. Planning the next visit is easy, making it a great place for a romantic evening, a small group, or dining alone. Wheelchair accessibility is provided, but note that the AC may be weak at times.
