On the last night we found this elegant restaurant. Wished we’d found it earlier as delicious food - mainly seafood - in refined surroundings with an interesting wine list. The food prices were much the same as others which was a pleasant surprise.

Lovely restaurant with amazing food and wine. Family driven, you can really feel the love and the effort of hosting and preparing heartfull meals. Try the raw fish and prawn tartars and absolutely the couscous!

We have been to Al Mazari without knowing that it is listed in Michelin. The food was amazing! We had pasta, fried sea food and four kinds of bruschetta. The waitress who served us was very helpful and super friendly. You should definitely eat there if you visit Ortigia.

Our time at this restaurant was truly delightful. The welcome we received was exceptionally kind, and we were fortunate to have a private table perfectly situated. The culinary experience was superb, featuring exquisite dishes such as tuna tartare and tuna steak. The chef, a knowledgeable lady, impressed us with her expertise in crafting traditional Sicilian cuisine that was truly mind-blowing.

Wonderful experience at Al Mazari. We sat inside as it was so hot out, and the AC cooled the room (and us) nicely. The food was definitely worthy of a trip, and the service was great too. The traditional dishes were nicely done and we loved the family-run feel of the restaurant. Our two-year old stayed at home with his cousins for this one. Great wine too! It was a short walk to get there and it’s close to the water too.

We visited the restaurant on 01.07.2023 and that will stay one of our the most precious memories from the beautiful Sicilia. The food was just amazing! It was elegant, made with love and passion and it was really the best food we have ever had in Italy! We travel a lot and have a real food experience and it was the first time I wanted to write a review to a restaurant, so the fact speaks for itself! The food is not just food, it is a delight for the senses. The products used are specially selected and skilfully combined to create a masterpiece of tradition and innovation. The staff was so nice and friendly and made our visit pleasant . We had the honour to talk for a few minutes with the owner and we were enchanted by his charm and hospitality. It will be a pleasure for us to come back again! Grazie mille
