⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Restaurant with Soul: Piero, Ernestina, and the Best Meal in Ortigia!

Taverna Russo is not just a meal; it is a heart-warming masterclass in Sicilian hospitality and cuisine. My friend Malvika and I were recommended this spot by a mutual friend, and after our first incredible dinner, we immediately booked a second visit before leaving Ortigia!

What truly sets this restaurant apart is the genuine care from the people who run it. Piero, the owner, is the definition of a perfect host. He possesses incredible hospitality, making sure every guest is completely taken care of. He was constantly attentive, always checking in on us with a warm smile, and genuinely went out of his way to be incredibly accommodating.

We were lucky enough to sit close to the kitchen, and it was a joy to watch the magic unfold. We often caught the eye of the chefs, who would look our way and motion with a silent, simple gesture asking if everything was okay—a testament to their extreme attentiveness.

The genius behind the food is Chef Ernestina. She truly cooks with her heart and generosity, and you can taste her magic in every bite. Her dishes are profoundly flavorful and authentic. While everything was outstanding, you absolutely must try the Pistachio Semifreddo. It is hands-down the best dessert we had in all of Sicily—rich, creamy, and unforgettable.

Taverna Russo has soul because of Piero, Ernestina, and their wonderful team. They don't just serve food; they share their passion. We cannot wait...

We went to Taverna Russo for new year’s eve dinner. They offered a very nice menu including several courses and different types of great wine. Great atmosphere with skilled waiters. There was a 7 year-old kid with us and they brought her a more kid-friendly food that was very delicious, if not better than our food. There was a dj who played very good music. The good thing was that music wasn’t too loud so we could enjoy it but at the same time talk to each other. At some point before the main course there was a little party and then we continued enjoying our food. We had a great time at Taverna Russo and next time we are in Siracusa we will definitely visit...

Wir haben unsere Hochzeit in der wunderschönen Taverna Russo gefeiert – ein Tag, der für uns unvergesslich bleiben wird! Bereits von der ersten Kontaktaufnahme an lief alles absolut reibungslos. Obwohl wir die komplette Planung aus Deutschland organisiert haben, waren Enrico und Piero stets erreichbar, hochprofessionell und herzlich zugleich. Über Monate hinweg wurden zahlreiche Nachrichten ausgetauscht und Telefonate geführt – immer mit dem Gefühl, in den besten Händen zu sein.

Die Location selbst ist ein absoluter Traum: eingebettet in eine malerische Umgebung, mit liebevollen Details gestaltet und einer Atmosphäre, die einfach verzaubert. Das Essen – ein Gedicht! Jeder Gang war ein kulinarisches Highlight, frisch, authentisch und voller Leidenschaft zubereitet. Unsere Gäste schwärmen noch heute davon.

Was uns besonders beeindruckt hat, war die perfekte Organisation. Alles lief wie am Schnürchen, von der Dekoration über den Empfang bis hin zur Koordination mit DJ, Blumendekorateurin und der Konditorei für die Torte – Enrico und Piero hatten an alles gedacht. Das gesamte Personal war einfach fantastisch: aufmerksam, freundlich und immer mit einem Lächeln unterwegs – die besten Kellner, die man sich wünschen kann.

Unsere Erwartungen wurden nicht nur erfüllt, sondern weit übertroffen. Wir sind mit einem glücklichen Herz nach Hause gegangen und haben in den Besitzern nicht nur Partner für unsere Hochzeit, sondern auch echte Freunde gefunden.

Taverna Russo können wir jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der auf der Suche nach einer einzigartigen Location, herausragender Gastfreundschaft und perfekter Organisation ist. Vielen Dank für diesen unvergesslichen Tag – wir kommen auf jeden...

Fantastic restaurant offering varied selection of delicious local meals. It is located in historic, but beautifully maintained premises that provide the guests with an authentic local atmosphere. Both the seafood and meat mixed grill plates were well seasoned and really tasty. However, we felt that the portions could have been a bit bigger. On the other hand, the amuse bouche was a nice detail. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and did their utmost for our satisfaction. Overall, this was a lovely experience and we enjoyed our lunch here very much.

Frequento la magnifica Ortigia almeno una volta l’anno e questa volta, alla nota magia del luogo si aggiunge questo bel locale situato proprio fronte mare, in via Vittorio Veneto. La struttura sorge all’interno dello storico Palazzo Russo e sin da subito si fa apprezzare per i modi brillanti ed educati della gestione. L’accoglienza è amichevole e coinvolgente con l’immancabile flûte di benvenuto, il menu offre una scelta che varia da piatti di terra a piatti di pesce passando per una oculata selezione di carni. Io ho preso una fenomenale bistecca rib-eye, piatto in cui la cucina è stata perfetta nel centrare la cottura medio-basso da me richiesta. Per nulla banale il contorno con verdure cotte al forno Josper. I miei figli hanno preso le braciole alla messinese e qui posso dire senza tema di smentita che quelle braciole tengono alta la tradizione messinese: carne di qualità, taglio non troppo piccolo, ripieno equilibrato e vivace, con tutti gli ingredienti in gustosa armonia tra di loro. La carta dei vini, in continuo ampliamento, offre specialità territoriali che ben si abbinano con quanto proposto dal menù. Il servizio è sapientemente organizzato dal giovane gestore che ho avuto modo di conoscere e apprezzare per la sua verve e le sue capacità gestionali. Sin da subito ci ha fatto sentire come se fossimo a casa nostra, il tutto di fronte al mare di Ortigia. Anche il conto è stato in linea con le migliori aspettative. È stata una bellissima scoperta e sarà tappa fissa tutte le volte che tornerò nella magica Ortigia ❤️
