Trattoria o' Scinà — Restaurant in Syracuse

NOT Recommended! We had 6 dishes and all of them are disaster. They have a serious problem of seasoning. Seared octopus: the sauce way too sweet and the octopus is not seasoned. They offered to go with the lemon oil and it then taste even worse. Cabonara: Toooooooo salty and too dry, and the pasta is so chewy like gummi bear. Totally undercooked. Scampi: worst of the night. They are fresh but the chef didn't even clean them at all. Imagine a big bite of sand mixture in your mouth. And the manager even didn't accept the fact that there should be no sand in the schrimps.

As for the service, the manager was actually pretty good. But the waiter was so rude. He just put the whole bottle of water on the table and didn't even bother to open it. And he literally throw the fork and knife on the table.

I just don't think anyone should deserve this kind of restaurant in...

Yeeess. The wonderful appetizer of sardines was only an introduction. Their homemade Gnocci we ordered was very, very good. And the Pasta Carbonara from the Sea was equally nice! But even though we dined like King & Queen, the true stars of our evening was the family that served us. What a joyful evening they gave us, mom and son. When suddenly grandfather (93) and grandmother (90) passed the terrace we sat on, their grandchild and our waiter (33) kissed them good night. He explained his grandparents stil ran a B&B and proudly labelled them “unstoppable”. This was an intimate look in the Sicilian way of life. We ended the night with a digestive but since “you know limoncello”, we were offered a mini tasting of different digestives. We were filled with love for this wonderful place. And will remember their warmth for a long long time!...

Not recommended.

I won't common on the six dishes we ordered because my accompany already did so. The service is also horrible. The hostess is nice but the waiter really need to improve. The waiter is rude, he literally threw the water and the fork for the second course on the table. He was also inpatient while ordering considering the number of customers at that time.

The waiting time is also too long. For an Orange Juice which named "Sicilian Beverage" on the menu, it took the waiter 10 minutes to bring me a supermarket orange juice where says: oranges from Spain.

While waiting for the first course, I finished one and half basket of bread. After that, the spaghettis are not even there when another table that ordered later than us has all of their...
