Trattoria Sicilia in Tavola

A pasta-and-fish trattoria on Via Cavour in Ortigia. No reservations; tiny dining room; one of the red shrimp pastas on the island.

Small kitchen, open all day, run by a husband-and-wife team for over twenty years. The pasta is made daily — paccheri, busiate, tagliatelle — and dressed with what's in the market: red prawn from Mazara, bottarga from Favignana, sea urchin in season, swordfish in summer. No reservations: come at 12:30 or 7:30 to skip the wait. €25–35 per head. Cash preferred. Closed Tuesdays.
