Trattoria La Foglia
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
The eccentric, slightly bohemian one in Ortigia: mismatched tablecloths, antique dolls on the wall, a hand-painted chalkboard menu, and a kitchen that has cooked from local ingredients for decades.
A few tables on a quiet alley near the Apollo temple. The aunt-and-niece team focuses on what's at the market that morning, heavy on vegetables, octopus, rabbit (coniglio in agrodolce, sweet-sour rabbit with capers and raisins, is the classic), homemade tagliolini. The vegetable antipasti are not a table-filler but a full course: nine or ten plates of marinated eggplant, stuffed tomatoes, panelle, fava purée. Two hours minimum, no rushing.
