Ristorante Donna Patrizia in Free municipal consortium of Syracuse

"Delicious, well-prepared dishes and a thoughtful fish-focused menu. The host opened just for us and managed both service and kitchen with calm and care – a warm, personal experience we really appreciated."

"Make sure you come with an empty stomach! Great culinary experience in a very humble setting by a friendly chef"

"Donna Patrizia has become a reliable favourite, delivering consistent quality over our three visits in the past two years. Chef Patron Giuseppe's passion shines through with every dish. He personally introduces each course on the degustazione menu, a fantastic 5-6 course journey showcasing his incredible culinary skill. The menu is not only delicious but also surprisingly affordable. For a truly special dining experience, look no further than Donna Patrizia."

"This place is an absolute must go to! We got married on a private beach, just the two of us, and decided to have our private wedding dinner here. It was a Monday night and we had the entire place to ourselves. The chef created a prix fixe menu prior to our arrival and served each course to to us personally. Every course was Michelin star worthy and the presentation was beyond compare. They selected wine and made sure we had beautiful jazz music playing during our dinner. It was an experience that we will remember forever. If this place isn't already on Michelin's radar, it needs to be. Go here before the word gets out because this chef is not to be missed! Side note: bring cash. While they do take cards, their machine was *broken* and we had to scramble to get cash after our dinner. We didn't care because it was a perfect wedding dinner so the hassle was worth it."

"This was the definite food highlight of our 10-day stay in Sicily. It is important to note that you have to make a reservation, which is easily done via WhatsApp (details on their Facebook page). As a result, the only people in the restaurant were my husband and myself, and Guiseppe, the chef/owner. He cooked and served everything himself, explaining the dishes and the stories behind the ingredients and recipes (in English). He served us a sumptuous 6-course fish menu, demonstrating exceptional talent with an innovative flair. All of this, plus a bottle of local wine, for a total of €120, all in. Given the prices charged by some of the tourist traps in this area of Sicily, this is incredibly good value for what is essentially a Michelin star quality meal. I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone staying in the area to treat themselves to this incredibly special culinary experience."

"Hidden gem in Sicily. High-quality fine dining.Extremely impressed with the chef, he does everything himself. You will get a very personalized experience - expect a 6-dining course with explanations from the Chef himself. Everything he gets locally and was very fresh. The price for the menu is only €50, which is very good considering it gets close to michelin star quality."

"Chef Guiseppe is worth of a Michelin star!! The most elevated dinner experience you could possibly wish for on your trip to Catania Bravo"

"What an exceptional and talented chef, Giuseppe uses everything that is special to Sicily, fresh local produce, fish, meats, herbs and plants. His passion for what is truly his art is wonderful and we were so lucky to dine at his restaurant. He will explain each dish to you in such detail, I have never experienced this anywhere else. A very special occasion which you should not miss."
