Il Blu

With its cosy front porch opposite Ortygia's waterfront, this is a handy place for aperitivi after a dip in the sea. It also serves food, whipping up a couple of primi and a handful of fresh-from-the-water seafood dishes daily; think freshly made spaghetti with prawns, sun-dried tomatoes and almonds, or grilled tuna served with grilled figs and pistachio essence.
