CRUDO Ristorante | Lounge bar

We went to CRUDO Ristorante for my birthday dinner and it was incredible. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The most unusual dish that we tried was the focaccia with various types of seafood on it. Our waiter was very friendly and he told us a story about how this dish originated and came to their restaurant. I also had gnocchi, which in my opinion were the best I have ever tried. At the end, as a surprise I got a chocolate lava cake as a birthday desert which tasted amazing, as well as a limoncello and an espresso. The coffee was great too! Would definitely recommend this place for an occasion or a casual dinner!

Beautiful restaurant that's a must visit! Service was incredible. Very knowledgeable waiters with a great friendly service. Food was amazing. We tried ceviche, prawns and trio of tartare. Portion sizes were perfect. There were other options available with cooked seafood we opted for raw only as a personal preference. Wine selection was also fantastic. We had a lovely sparkling and a white that accompanied the dishes perfectly. Definitely worth a visit, would highly recommend.

Quality, quality, quality! We had the identità crudo2 and it was phenomenal. The service was fantastic and you can really tell they care about what they do. We also had the focaccia with seafood and it was something special. Great selection of wines as well. Simply one of the best seafood dinner we’ve ever had. Prices are also very reasonable when you consider the quality and the competition. With 50 euros per person you are full. If you go have lunch in any average place in the market area you spend 50 euros and eat 1/4 of what you get at Crudo. Fantastic place and incredible staff. Highly recommended!

I would go a thousand times over and the funny thing is this is way out of our comfort zone. A cool experience.
We had the tasting menu. For food, the flavors of this fresh sicilian fish was incredible, scampi were sweet, never had anything like it. The Salmon was a standout with poppyseed crust, literally melted in your mouth (this phrase is overused but I don't know how else to say it).
Atmosphere is very comfortable but cool.
The service at the chef's counter was STANDOUT. Paolo started us with a drink and was beyond nice. Elisabetta was sweet/cool. Got introduced to Claudia who is the woman in the apron doing it all.
For what it's worth we are from SF and have pretty amazing fish and restaurant options, this makes me think they should open a Crudo SF...amazing...

We recently had the pleasure of dining at an exceptional restaurant in Syracuse that delivered an unforgettable culinary experience. The evening was a true celebration of Sicilian flavors, with a focus on raw seafood that was nothing short of extraordinary.

Opting for the "Menu Degustazione," we were treated to a tasting menu that allowed us to savor a variety of dishes, each one a masterpiece. The chef’s creativity and skill were evident in every bite, from the delicate carpaccio to the vibrant crudo. Each dish was a testament to the freshness and quality of the ingredients, highlighting the best of what the region has to offer.

What made the experience even more special was the expertly curated wine pairing. We were introduced to seven different Sicilian wines, each selected to perfectly complement the flavors of the dishes. The wines enhanced the dining experience, offering a journey through the diverse terroirs of Sicily, from crisp whites to bold reds. The sommelier's knowledge and passion were evident, and we left with a deeper appreciation for Sicilian wine.

The ambiance of the restaurant was sophisticated yet relaxed, providing the perfect backdrop for the evening. The service was impeccable, with staff who were attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what they do.

For anyone who loves seafood, especially raw preparations, this restaurant is a must-visit. I would love to share some photos of the stunning dishes, but I promised to keep the menu a surprise. Trust me, it's worth discovering it for yourself! We can’t wait to return and explore more of what this gem in Syracuse has to offer.

Very cute place to eat the best seafood in Siracusa! Had an amazing time with the best people working there and a lot of flavour on the plate. Basically the only restaurant here where we could go more often! Amazing Experience!

We stumbled into CRUDO more or less accidentally and we’re totally blown away. It seemed to us as a place combining typical Sicilian crudo with other influences to get a perfect dining experience.
We were advised excellently by the owner and the knowledgeable staff and chose a tasting menu as for one person as well as some a la carte dishes. They were very accommodating as this is not very common. Each and every course, we were surprised by the flavors, textures and freshness.
On top of that, we were recommended some excellent orange wine from Sicily plus some dessert wine on the house.
All in all a Great experience and we would 100% recommend!

If you are lucky enough to eat at Crudo you will have had, quite possibly, the most delicious food in Sicily. Excellent menu of local delicacies, perfect pairing of wine or cocktails, I’d eat here every day if I could.

This restaurant was a real hit. The wine cellar master gave very good advice, the dishes were fresh and top quality.
Where else will you find a service where the wine cellar master explains the law of Archimedes (Archimedes the scientist of Syracuse) just like that, in addition to good wine and rum advice.
This restaurant is truly top-notch.

Crudo is a truly excellent dining establishment! The fish is locally caught and extremely fresh… the blue fin tuna was exceptional. Delicious flavor combinations that complement the fish, not overwhelm it. Fresh and clean. If you are into seafood i highly recommend. Oh…and fantastic local wine recommendations as well…I will return!

Fantastic atmosphere, wonderful music, family approach, unthinkable dishes, attention to every detail, exclusive food serving…this restaurant deserves six stars ! And actually two levels up from any expectations) take five dishes course)

We took the 5 course menu and the wine pairing - what a delight! The staff is charming and the food tastes truly like the sea. fresh and creative way of presenting.

We had the tasting menu. Very interesting and the wine pairings were well done. Not inexpensive but the quality of the food justified the price.

Oh my god! You won’t believe this! We couldn’t understand it.

This place has THE best food on the island, they are really pushing the envelope in terms of their menu and experimenting with flavours. Coming from London we’re spoilt for choice but these guys punch well above their weight, and could take on almost any restaurant in the game.
Very friendly, attentive staff and the food is amazing.
Highly recommend. Tell them I sent you.

Amazing raw fish dishes in wide variety and with special preparations, great hospitality, nice atmosphere

Wow! My first time in Siracusa, and I was so impressed with the ambience and the quality of the food here. I didn’t know what to order at first, and the waiter recommended an excellent variety and the perfect wine to go along.

excellent food and the young gentleman was very helpful and explained details of every dish. The food is only fish related.

Amazing things done with raw fish. Very cool and very different from the normal heavy pasta around Ortigia.

Amazing, high quality place. I strongly suggest it

Highly recommended.
