Quite possibly the best cocktail bar we visited in Sicily and easily the most memorable. Tucked away in a beautiful courtyard surrounded by ancient walls, the setting is absolutely stunning, especially in the evening. Everything is beautifully arranged and has a very special atmosphere.

The cocktails are the real highlight: creative, beautifully balanced and genuinely on the level of great cocktail bars you’d find in New York, Tokyo or any other major city. You can tell there’s a very talented bartender behind them. The mix of tapas, antipasti and charcuterie was also excellent and made the whole experience even better.

It’s not a place to come to save money, but the prices felt completely fair for the quality and experience. If you’re on holiday and want to treat yourself to something genuinely special, this is absolutely worth it.

For us, the best cocktail bar we visited in Sicily. Highly recommended.

This place is an essential stop for an after dinner drink if ever you're in Ortigia. It feels like a movie set! The cocktails are delicious and the environment is extraordinary. In fact I try to go several times whenever I'm on the island. This is truly magical.

The location is romantic and intimate. The service is attentive and quick. I can not talk about the food but it is a shame that the cocktails are not at the level of the place. During our experience, they were not good, not the classic nor the signatures. Besides the special negroni with coconut foam which was fine, the signature cocktail with tequila was watered and lack of any special flavor. Moscow mule you could taste just the lemon but not the ginger… all in all we enjoyed the location.

One of the BEST Aperitivo spots in Ortigia! 🥂
If you're down for fine wine and outstanding snacks, this is the place.
The real highlight was our waiter (whose name I unfortunately didn't catch). He did a brilliant job pairing the wine to our food and shared his deep knowledge of local wines.

10/10. FANTASTICO!

Beautiful courtyard 🤩🍋 dream of an architect.
We tried the experimental cocktails. They were interesting. I adore the menu for sure 💙🥰
They made one of the starter gluten free for us. Thank you 😊
