NAZIONALE Ristorante Pizzeria — Restaurant in Syracuse

2nd time visiting this restaurant in 3 days with my husband and teenage son. As much as I love pizza and pasta I was craving something different and wasn’t disappointed! Food was just delightful, fresh, hot and full of flavour. Not just pizza and pasta but gorgeous seafood and meat!

For the primi which is considered a starter, my Son chose on both occasions Amatriciana spaghetti. On the 2nd visit that was all he had as it was enough to fill all 6ft 2 of him!!

The pasta in squid ink was enough cooked and the sauce was excellent even without any fish meat. It tasted like black bean noodles (짜장면) or red bean soup (팥죽) from Korea. The pistachio fish pasta was nutty and rich in flavors. But, I wished both dishes had more seafood meat like squid on top of its nice sauce. The salad was simple and...
