Restaurant recommendations in Sicily, Italy

A friend of mine just got back from Sicily and this is what he told me :

I went to Sicily recently and had a couple of good meals in Syracuse. One at a restaurant called the Apollonion Osteria da Carlo (http://www.apollonion.it/index.asp ), packed with locals and no menu. They proceeded to bring out a series of dishes (abou...t 6 or seven small courses I think), and then if you could still keep going, you could order a fish dish, which for us was a selection of deep fried, fresh, mixed seafood, delicious, but for me I would have rather had it grilled. The dessert was the local delicacy, 'ricotta in horns'. The whole meal was less than 100 euros including two bottles of wine and tip, amazing. We also went to a place called Taverna Sveva, off the beaten track a little but pretty good. Not quite as good value and less of an experience, but still worth a look.

In Taormina we went to a restaurant called Licchio's, nice atmos, reasonable service, solid food and moderately priced, but not as good as the apollonian.
