na/bu Bistrot in Syracuse: the essence of inclusive cuisine combining technique and local ingredients.

Na/Bu Bistrot was born as a gentle challenge to the conventions of the restaurant industry: a space where the elegance of fine dining is stripped of its formality to embrace the sincerity and warmth of a modern trattoria. In the heart of Syracuse, we have created a meeting place for those seeking conscious cuisine, founded on transparency and absolute respect for the consumer. Here, the international technique learned between Japan and the Caribbean is not an exercise in style, but a tool to honor Sicilian raw materials, from select flours to the catch of the day. Na/Bu is a truly inclusive place, designed to welcome every soul and every food choice without compromising on quality. Whether it's a quick lunch, a refined dinner, or a signature aperitif, our mission remains the same: to transform every stop into a tailor-made "pamper," where the complexity of flavors translates into a harmonious simplicity, capable of making everyone feel, from the first moment, part of our family.

A perfect synthesis between the hospitality of a trattoria and the rigor of fine dining.


For us at Na/Bu, the Bistro concept is a promise of freedom: we've broken down the barriers of traditional dining to create a space where technical excellence meets human warmth. Our kitchen isn't intended to be an untouchable temple, but rather an open home where the mastery of our Chef—honed amidst international challenges in Japan and the Caribbean—is put at the service of each and every guest. Being a "middle ground" between a contemporary trattoria and fine dining means offering the absolute quality of our ingredients without ever sacrificing the spontaneity of a smile or the aroma of freshly baked bread filling the room. Every detail, from the choice of flours for our leavened products to the meticulous filleting of our fish and the care we take in preparing our meats, is designed for those seeking a refined yet accessible experience. Here, luxury lies not in formality, but in the care we take for the well-being of those who choose us, ensuring an inclusive environment where the gastronomic offerings adapt to the desires of the soul, transforming every dinner into a moment of authentic and unforgettable sharing.

The Na/Bu Aperitif: A sensory journey in five acts of signature cuisine.


Forget the usual commercial aperitivo: at Na/Bu, sunset marks the beginning of a unique gastronomic ritual in Syracuse. We've transformed the pre-dinner moment into a true miniature culinary experience, where guests are guided through a sequence of five cooked dishes, small creations that encapsulate our entire philosophy in a single journey. We don't serve simple appetizers, but hot and cold "treats" that range from the savory flavors of the sea to the deepest earth, allowing even those who choose a vegetarian or vegan diet to enjoy a tasting experience of equal dignity and complexity. This five-step journey is designed for those who want to discover our operations without constraints, letting themselves be guided by seasonality and the creativity of the moment.
