Locanda Maniace and its staff are waiting for you to taste the Sicilian land and sea flavour accompanied by native wines. One of the best-known restaurants in the Sicilian territory, especially in Ortigia, in the Syracuse area, where, thanks to the talent of its chefs and the freshness and authenticity of its products, the Locanda Maniace is among the most awarded and recognized places in the area.

We have imagined a space to welcome those who use care in their choices. We are in Palazzo Giaracà, facing the beauty of the port of Syracuse. Here we have created Room Cucina, a social space that recounts our extravagant welcome with a retro atmosphere in soft colours. We work with research ideas, seasonality, and territoriality, which are transformed into dishes with a strong identity through memory and techniques. Memory is the gaze with which we investigate the future. Our restaurant, a few steps from the entrance to Ortigia, filters the tradition of Sicilian seafood cuisine through the meshes of research. Our cuisine is made up of attention and care in the choice of raw materials, knowledge of the territory and devotion to its seasons.
