Teatro Greco

Teatro Greco is a café and restaurant beside the ancient Greek theatre in Syracuse’s Archaeological Park of Neapolis. The setting is the main draw: the theatre dates to the 5th century BC, was rebuilt in the 3rd century BC, and still hosts performances of ancient Greek tragedies at sunset. For a meal, the listed menu includes pizza and spaghetti, with outdoor garden seating noted. Check whether there is an extra charge for sitting outside before you settle in.

A café beside the ancient theatre

Teatro Greco is listed as a café and restaurant in Syracuse’s Archaeological Park of Neapolis. Its setting places a meal beside one of the city’s ancient Greek landmarks. The menu information available names pizza and spaghetti, and outdoor garden seating is noted.

If you plan to sit outside, ask about any additional charge before ordering. The restaurant has received mixed comments about food, service and pricing, so it is sensible to check the menu and costs before you commit to a meal.

Theatre performances at sunset

Syracuse’s Greek theatre was built in the 5th century BC and rebuilt in the 3rd century BC. It is part of the Archaeological Park of Neapolis and is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient theatre returned to use for performances in the 20th century, when the Istituto Nazionale del Dramma Antico began presenting Greek tragedies in Italian at sunset.

The theatre’s acoustics allow performers to act without a sound system. Performances are held from May to July, according to the available information. Check the schedule before visiting if seeing a production is part of your plan.
