Arrusti & Mangia

A former butcher shop turned trattoria on the edges of Ortigia, Arrusti & Mangia wears its origins proudly — the menu leans hard into Sicilian grilled meats, with mixed grills, horse meatballs, and sausage at honest prices. The whole place feels lived-in and genuinely local, packed with the kind of details that make it clear this isn't a tourist trap. Order the house cavati pasta and let the friendly staff take care of the rest.
