I had an incredible experience at Daphne’s . The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, and the staff were warm and attentive from the start. I couldn’t get enough of the tiger prawns—it was absolutely delicious. The conservatory seating was such a lovely touch, adding a relaxed but refined vibe to the evening. I’ll definitely be going back—it’s a fantastic spot for a special night out.

Service and food were excellent! We were seated immediately upon our arrival and drink order were taken. Our party of 4 were treated as special guests as the server constantly checked with us to ask if we needed anything additional. The appetizers were enough to calm our hunger and opens our appetite for more! Food was served hot and was very “Italian” tasty. Dessert arrived and it was also a treat. Without disappointment, I ordered the Tiramisu and it exceeded my expectations! Siracusa Italian Kitchen is not an easy find, as it’s local off the street, sitting behind another building, but don’t give up - it’s definitely worth the find!
