Ortigia Cucina & Bar

Originally went to Carmelo’s for their happy hour, but they were all booked so they recommended we come here. I was expecting food and drink happy hour Like Carmelo’s, since they suggested this restaurant, however, it was only drink happy hour. The server and bartender were pretty attentive at times. But it did take a while for them to check back up on us and for us to close our check when we needed it. Ordered two drinks that were decent for the price. Also ordered their spicy calamari and was disappointed. Calamari was not crispy at all and very underseasoned. I know it’s just calamari, but I was expecting a little crunch and savor as an addition to our drinks. For their prices I most likely will not visit again.

Our first time eating here. Some of the prices are bit high for what you get. But overall prices were about the same as many similar spots. The appetizer which included calamari, shrimp, swordfish, and scallops was the star. It was unreal good. The muscles were on point as was the tortellini bolenes, which was meaty and cheesy as well. I was a bit dissapointed in the maple bourbon old fashion. Not the best I've had for sure. The service was outstanding! The live music was very good, and the entire place has a great vibe to it. We'll be back.

This is a great venue to have a nice meal, watch people or watch a game. There is street parking everywhere. The service has gotten a little slow of late and the floors around the bar area looked very dirty. My wife loves their espresso martini 's.

We stopped in for a quick afternoon cocktail and were met by a friendly staff at this open-air restaurant. My Aperol spritz was refreshing and perfect. If my husband hadn't ordered the RUM old fashioned, this probably would be a 5 star review. Putting it politely, he wouldn't recommend that specific cocktail. 😆👎🏻 If you're looking for a great environment and super accommodating staff, this is your place.

Had a nice dinner there, we had Salmon, and Chicken Milanais and finished with Tiramasu. All was very good. Our server Ashley did a great job. Nathan the manager was also very attentive and made sure all was well. We will definitely return. If you go online you can put your name on the wait list and they text you when your table is ready
