Where to eat: the 50 best restaurants in Modica

Very authentic family run restaurant. The owners are really nice, the ambience great and the food is very traditional, just simple plates at very good prices done with love.

Dined here a couple of nights ago and whilst the menu is more restricted than when I last went the service has improved a lot. It was the first time I ate outside and I loved the atmosphere there was. Food on the other hand - needs some work. But overall a good experience which I recommend.

We were a group of 25, we had exceptional service for the size of the group. We were served family style which helped service to run smoothly. Atmosphere was outdoor dining, a little bit tight seating but worked.

When we came for lunch, every table in the multi-room restaurant was buzzing with happy diners. The waitstaff did an admirable job bringing dozens of orders hot from the kitchen and even though it did not look as if a table was available, the accommodating host found us a place in the warren of rooms. This is an old-style family-run trattoria, full of history and evidently beloved by locals. The menu is large and includes all the local specialties. Prices could not be lower but the quality is excellent. We loved the cavatieddi ccò sucu rì maiali and the generous bollito of veal. The wine selection offers inexpensive choices but the restaurant also serves some excellent Sicilian craft beers.

We had fava bean soup. Some people liked it, some did not. I thought it was very bland. Main course with chicken with potatoes. They did substitute zucchini for potatoes, which was nice. Chicken was a bit bland, and some was overcooked. Cannoli for dessert was good. All together, the food was nothing special

Wonderful family run restaurant with traditional Sicilian dishes. My wife , who is Sicilian, came because she wanted their tenerumi pasta, which was so good and I had their eggplant as a starter and then their pork ragu, so yummy. On top of their food, their service was amazing! We had dinner on a Sunday evening, unaware that taxis won’t be available. After trying to get us a taxi unsuccessfully, the young lady said she would give a ride back to our hotel! She was wonderful and we were so thankful to avoid an hour walk late at night. Thank you so much!

Gluten free arancino and fresh pasta ravioli. Super good and great service!

We participated in a guided tour at Antica Dolceria Bonajuto, where we learned all about the process of making their chocolate, from start to finish. The tasting session was amazing – each chocolate was rich and full of flavor. We also enjoyed shopping in the charming store, picking some delicious treats to take home. A must-visit for anyone who loves chocolate and wants an authentic Sicilian experience!

You have to visit this place if you’re a chocolate lover. It’s a little bit different than the chocolate that people are used to, but it’s still great. The staff if very friendly, gave us chocolate to try before buying and told us how it’s made. You can also get cannoli here. The most perfect cannoli I have ever eaten, crispy on the outside and soft not too sweet cream on the inside. Variety of flavours to choose from.

Antica Dolceria Bonajuto is a wonderful hidden gem in Modica, serving as Sicily’s oldest chocolate factory, dating back to 1880. Upon stepping inside, you immediately encounter the rich history and production method of Modica chocolate, making it feel less like a shop and more like a small, edible museum. Bonajuto is famous for producing Modica chocolate using an ancient, Aztec-influenced, cold-processing method. This technique prevents the sugar crystals from melting, resulting in a texture far different from the smooth chocolate we typically know. We took the opportunity to try a few samples, including the most original vanilla flavor. The texture is intensely distinctive: crunchy and sandy. While it is definitely an acquired taste (my daughter didn't like it at all!), I truly enjoyed the unique, granular feel and the intensely aromatic flavor. Even if you aren't a big chocolate lover, I highly recommend entering the shop just to read about the production process and the fascinating history of this ancient Modican tradition. It's a wonderful, educational stop that offers a unique piece of Sicilian heritage.

A must-visit when in Modica! Antica Dolceria Bonajuto is not just a chocolate shop — it’s a cultural experience. The oldest chocolate factory in Sicily, it preserves the unique tradition of cold-processed Modican chocolate with incredible skill and authenticity. From classic bars to spiced and citrus-infused creations, every piece is rich in flavor and history. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, and the atmosphere breathes timeless charm. Don’t miss the chance to taste a piece of Sicilian heritage — or take some home as the perfect gift!

A must go for a chocolate lover! Chocolate in Modica is different, they make it as ancient recipes mixing only cacao paste and sugar, therefore it doesn’t melt in the mouth but create a totally different experience! It tastes wonderful! And with many different flavors! The cassatina allo cioccolato is very very good!

After a long cycle and facing yet another hill ahead, I was grateful to stumble across this spot in Modica. Their freshly made cannoli were an absolute treat — crisp shells filled on the spot with rich, creamy ricotta that hit the perfect balance. Just what I needed to recharge before the next climb. A little slice of Sicilian heaven, and a must-visit for anyone passing through.

A bit of a loud and confusing place, with multiple lines and a lot of shouting to order. But it works, and you get your order very quickly. We ordered a cold chocolate milk and a chocolate granita. I particularly enjoyed the chocolate milk, and I found the chocolate granita to be fine as well. For my girlfriend's taste, it was slightly too bitter, but for my taste, it was good.

Very serious about wine and food, but not at all stuffily - a brilliant place at the very top of Modica, and entirely worth all the many, many steps to get there. Probably the best goats cheese I've ever eaten.

We had a wonderful evening at Enoteca Rappa, up on the heights of Modica (if you’re walking from the center, make sure to wear good shoes, there are plenty of stairs!). Even though there wasn’t much space on the terrace, the staff kindly set up extra tables across the street so we could enjoy the warm September evening. The large mixed platter was excellent and a good value for money, that we accompanied with a Negroni, only 7€, unbeatable! Afterwards, we enjoyed a great selection of Sicilian and Italian wines that truly delighted us. A perfect spot to spend an authentic evening just outside the center of Modica.

Recommend by our Airbnb host, it's a wonderful place to take a break. The ingredients were fresh and tasty, and the bread was served warm and in small bags. The prices were reasonable, the staff was patient and welcoming, and we were as satisfied as our stomachs and had a great evening. Really recommend 🌟🤩

We had a great time here. A freak thunderstorm on our way absolutely soaked us and they gave us a t shirt for free. Everyone working there was super friendly and we felt like we were having a drink at home. In terms of food, the sharing platter was delicious and we had complimentary bruschetta. The wine, cocktails and beer were all outstanding. We bought a bottle home to drink. Would recommend this place to anyone.

This is a great place to drink, eat and take in the baroque ambience of Modica Alto. Most bars, restaurants, gelatos and cafés can be found in the lower part of the town however Rappa Enoteca is nestled quietly away in the higher part of the city. The very knowledgeable owner Gincarlo and his staff provide excellent insight into the choice of many wines and a tapas style food menu make for the perfect accompaniment. The corvain system allows for you to try a glass of wine without the commitment of having to buy the whole bottle. The wine bar also serves as a place to purchase wine at either at enoteca or take away pricing.

Great selection of artisan and natural wines at moderate prices to drink in or takeaway. Also great place for an aperitivo overlooking beautiful baroque buildings nearby.

I went to this shop to buy wine for my friend's parents. The woman I interacted with (missed the name in my anxiety to converse in Italian) made great recommendations and was very knowledgeable about wines. She was super willing to understand my minimal Italian and make an effort to explain the differences in the wines to me. They have a good selection of local wines from small distributors, and I'd recommend this place for anyone looking to buy a local bottle to take back!

We loved the place, atmosphere, the food, and the view. The dessert was amazing, and being able to get a gluten-free option really made a difference. The chef even made us a gluten-free Pasta Frittata - that’s actually why we came in the first place. Thank you

We didn’t find this restaurant online but discovered it the day before while passing by. The atmosphere was truly wonderful and very romantic, we sat outdoors in the middle of the stairs, right next to the Church. The presentation and flavors of the dishes were good, with nice attention to detail. The food was fine, meeting a basic standard, though I felt the prices were a bit high, probably because of the prime location. The service was okay, only lacked a bit of warmth.

I enjoyed the experience even though some of the dishes, I found, to be a tad on the blander side. The staff was so nice and service great. I think my palate is just used to a bit more umph. Make sure to make a reservation, it gets packed almost as soon as it opens.

This was one of the most disappointing meals we’ve had in a long time. We had made a reservation via Michelin and they offered us the absolutely worst table in the place, stuck in a corner in an airless entryway. After I complained, they somehow managed to find us a good table outside, with lovely views of the city. The staff was running around, working hard, but with no direction. They took forever to take our order, did not bring us the wine until we had practically finished our first course, etc. But the biggest disappointment was the food itself. I ordered gazpacho with croquettes and there was hardly any soup, just 4 big cheesy breadballs. For thee main course, they were out of the fish rolls and substituted a tiny slice of fried fish — only the small tail portion. It was breaded and had bones and amounted to about 4 bites once deboned. My husband’s pasta with shrimp and pistachios was swimming in a red sauce. Very unappealing. I don’t know how this place got a Michelin mention. I’ve had better food in far simpler places.

An exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The prosecco was crisp and refreshing — the perfect start to an evening where everything felt just right. The atmosphere struck a flawless balance between elegance and warmth, perfectly suited to the setting. The location itself is stunning, and the staff couldn’t have been more attentive or welcoming. As for the food — the tuna was beautifully seared and full of flavour, while the rabbit was tender, rich, and cooked to absolute perfection. A truly memorable meal in every sense.

Ridiculously good lunch. Funky furniture and simple but stylish decor. Food is great, love the fish dishes but the porccetta is amazing. (Just lose the 1980s glass dinner plates)

We came quite late, shortly before the kitchen closed, so maybe that played a role, but overall the experience wasn’t great. The pasta fritta tasted of old oil, was slightly burnt and didn’t sit well in the stomach. The Cotoletta di Melanzana con Tenerumi had an odd consistency – the eggplant was watery, the tenerumi tough, and both lacked almost any flavor. Wine by the glass was surprisingly expensive (10–15€). That said, the restaurant itself looks beautiful, with a lovely interior and outdoor area.

Visit: 12/05/2023 Two people, for breakfast Amazing pastries and sweets, and one of the best “americanos” ever. A the attendant was so nice! PROS: - incredible pistachio and almonds granitas; - the creamy hot chocolate is rich and full of flavor; - the ricotta cannoli was delicious; - great “americano” coffee; - the attendant and the waitress were very kind; - the ambience is small and cozy; - the menu is really interesting; - prices are ok CONS: - I can’t find one For sure, this is a place you must visit whenever you come to Modica!

Absolutely delicious! I had the Modica hot chocolate and some filled croissants — both were amazing. The service was warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere relaxing. Will be coming back to try more !Highly recommend Caffè dell’Arte if you're in Modica!

Cannolo here is not just a dessert; it's heaven. It's the best I've had in my life, with tasty ricotta and a perfect crunch.

The best Modican hot chocolate we had ever tried. We also asked for heavy cream (panna) - fabulous and unforgettable. They’ve got many options and the cornetti tasted fresh and light. We chose to seat inside but I saw that they’ve got many tables outside as well.

TLDR: friendly staff, delicious chocolate and cannoli, decent prices! Originally we just came in for a cannoli, but we ended up leaving with a bag of chocolates! First off- the cannoli itself was really good. They fill them as you order so they don’t get soggy. (But we got them to go and they were still crispy after a couple of hours) the ricotta cream was fluffy but not too sweet, and they were very generous with the pistachio sprinkles. They then offered us some chocolate and hot chocolate samples, and told us a little bit about the history of the cafe and chocolate shop. (You can really tell how proud and passionate they are about their chocolates!) Apparently the father of the cafe owner was one of the chocolate pioneers in Modica, and he still insists on making chocolates by hand to this day. They have a great selection of chocolates at a fair price (tad bit lower than other places in the area). They even sell 100% cocoa chocolates and their hot chocolate powder! Oh, if you haven’t had Modica hot chocolate, I highly recommend it if you like chocolate fudge. They make their hot chocolate with either water or milk, depending on your preference. Milk can be a little too heavy, but it makes a great dipping sauce if you have it with a pastry!

The best Granita/Cremolata in Modica? Yeah, yeah, much debate about this - every place has the best, I know. But this is *good*. Locals swear by it. A lot. Not just the locals - we were there pretty much every day for granita/coffee in the morning, and a couple more during the day 😜 (And yes, the brioche is pretty damn amazing too - just the right texture for dunking)

We had a very complete breakfast with local products. We tried the hot chocolate, Pistacchio croissant, the sicilian cannolo (ricota filling with pistacchio) and their great expresso. All of this for under 10 euros. Great price for very good quailty in Modica's main street. The staff was all super nice and made us feel very welcomed. If you are in Modica, dont look much further!

This restaurant was such an awesome surprise! We didn’t research it at all; just stumbled upon it while walking, and it ended up being one of the best lunches we had in Sicily. The vibe is smart-casual, the service is excellent, and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. And the food is simply fantastic. They start you off with freshly baked warm bread (homemade), local olive oil, and a small appetizer. Everything was incredibly good and set the tone perfectly. I had their caponata, served inside a pasta brisée shell. So good, delicate, flavorful, and really well balanced. For the main course, I had the fish of the day, served in a tomato-based soup. It was fresh, delicate, and full of flavor. Overall, I truly recommend this place and strongly suggest you give it a try. Big compliments to all the staff for running such a top-notch restaurant!

We had an unforgettable meal here. The seafood appetizer sampler was outstanding. Fresh, high quality and full of beautiful flavors. For the main course, we tried the traditional Sicilian pasta with sardines, and it was absolutely perfect. Rich, authentic and cooked to absolute perfection. This is the kind of place that makes you want to return again and again. Highly recommend. Don’t think twice if you want to experience truly incredible Sicilian cuisine.

"Meglio di si," (chef's response from across the terrace when they put the bread down and I said "Meglio di no"). So then I noted "non siamo invecchiando, siamo solo ingrassando." The home made bread was indeed worth the calories, especially with the excellent olive oil. Delicious zucchini in phyllo with saffron emulsion, assorted wines to see what you want (I chose the Frappato rosato); Very good linguine with bottarga, almond, orange, and amberjack tartare; Spaghetti with pureed field greens, ginger, seafood and topped with raw red shrimp. Very well done all around, but sitting outside you are inches from a very busy noisy street and that is not very pleasant. Sitting inside looks like it would instead be a beautiful setting. Wonderfully friendly staff.

Lovely atmosphere and nice presentation of food! We had their assorted appetizers, pork, veal, pasta, fried fish. Highly recommend the assorted appetizers! Enjoyed fried fish and pork, but veal was chewy and pasta was little fishy to me. Creme brûlée and coffee were very delicious.

Food is OK but Overpriced, while service is good but even service charges are overpriced. I guess they try to be upscale and charge more but for that food must be better. We ordered pasta with rabbit and seafood gnocchi. The pasta had decent sauce but was undercooked and if rabbit was there at one point it must have run away. Seafood gnocchi tasted great but it you charge 30-40% more than other places nearby and you tell me it has shrimp, mussels and fish, I would expect to get shrimp that I can see without a magnifying glass. Finally, there was 'freshly made' bread that while hot had a texture and taste of sand mixed with clay. Add to that the service charges €4 per person, i would certainly not recommend it.

I've been there with my partner and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. The food, service, and ambiance were perfect. We had the Mare Nostrum starter and enjoyed every bite. I then continued my meal with the Riassunto di Sicilia pasta, which was delicious.

Lovely lunch with impeccable service. The seafood appetizer is a must. Hemp pasta my favorite meal of our 3 week trip.

I gave it a 4, although I wanted to give a 3. The atmosphere is pleasant, but our expectations were much higher. So, let’s begin. We decided not to order the set menu, as my husband wanted to try other dishes. According to the restaurant’s rules, you are required to order it “once” for both. We started with melon and hot peppers, as well as a seafood appetizer. The second one was interesting, with a true taste of the sea, but the first one was disappointing, even though the waiter said the sauce is prepared over two days. In terms of taste, it didn’t impress me: melon and peppers with cashews were interesting, but not a gastronomic orgasm. I also didn’t understand why the skin wasn’t removed from the peppers, even though it came off easily—perhaps it was intentional. The FRESH PASTA / GOAT CHEESE / APRICOT / SHEEP dish came with cherries. It was a tasty tribute to cherries and sheep meat. My husband had pasta with shrimp. They told us that they didn’t have the “correct” pasta, so it was replaced with another type. It was a bit tricky to eat, and I think this may have affected the taste. The portion size was also larger than expected. I can’t really single out the pasta—it was good, but we didn’t go on a flavor journey. For dessert, we chose “MITILUGHIA,” which consists of crispy layers and cherry ice cream. Again, no orgasm, so we decided to try the EGGPLANT / RICOTTA CHEESE / CHOCOLATE. We asked if the cake base was fresh, and they told us it was from the day before. What can I say? The flavor was interesting, but the base was very dry. I liked the sweet-salty combination, and the cream layers were intriguing. Considering it cost €10, I expected a fresher or more impressive execution. Overall, the dessert deserves a 3. The wine we wanted wasn’t available, so we had to choose from what was left. And the chipped plate didn’t please me either. Although the waiter explained that it was a family heirloom service, I would prefer if such chips were either covered or those plates removed from use. Additionally, I didn’t like that the ashtray at the table was full, even though there was only one table allowed for smoking. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to my friends.

As a solo traveller, diner, and lover of food it is very important to me that where I dine feels both special and comfortable. This was hands down the best restaurant I visited during my time in Sicily. The food was outstanding. I have a hard time eating in public but cleaned every plate! The wine was also very good. I would have to say though that the service was what really made the experience perfect. I believe the chef’s husband was the host and I could tell there was love in that place because the service and atmosphere was fantastic.

A little hidden gem in the heart of Modica. It was difficult to find, but once we did we were pleasantly surprised by the level of sophistication and creativity of the young sisters taking care of this place. Two sisters of 25 and 27. The younger sibling, busy in the kitchen creating masterpieces based on her traditions and passion for new concepts, while the older sister pairing those wonderful creations beautifully and running the front of house like clockwork. If you're in the region this place is a must!

Amazing gastronomic experience! Great service!

Unfortunately found this place on the Michelin App. However not justified to be on there even as just a non star carrying outlet. Starters started strong (sweet peppers), however Gnocchi were really less than mediocre, pork belly was bland…fried shark more of a street food rather than a fine dining dish. Wonton fushion dish meh as well Squeaking kitchen door, staff unaware of their surroundings, smashing cabinets and talking in inappropriate volume…

Food is great. Very accurate flavors & extremely fresh ingredients. All dishes were very creative. Service was top of the line. Would highly recommend going there.

Seriously one of the best meals i had in Sicily (and i’ve been to numerous restaurants all across the island) Very creative and beautiful dishes packed with flavour, friendly and attentive service. Lovely and casual ambience. Id love to be back soon! Keep it up and a star is yours!

Amazing Gastronomic Experience! Starting from the location, is in the top part of modica and just arriving there is a lovely walk. We ate in their lovely yard. We where offer a deal of three plates and a cocktail for 35 euros. Amazing quality price deal. Dished are nicely imagined with local products and recipes, beautifully produced and of course DELICIOUS: my favorite the Caciocavallo with vegetables. Im usually not excited by cocktails, but this ones where specially good. Desserts also worth trying. People working there are also very nice and friendly.

If you’re looking for contemporary Sicilian flavours look no further. Absolutely beautiful food served in a beautiful courtyard by great staff. Of you’re in Modica then this place should be on the list!!

We enjoyed a leisurely dinner at this local restaurant. Servings are quite generous, so we shared several courses and tried a larger variety of flavors. The food is prepared with care and creativity.

Nice concept, distracted waiters. Location was uncomfortable and distant. The old location on the pictures seemed much nicer. Music very silent from one side. The other speaker seemed to be broken. Taste of Food was ok but all in all it appeals unloving ! What a pity...

We, a family of four, ordered different courses which we shared between us. Truffles pasta was absolutely the best order and was probably the best I ever had. The other courses were also very good and well cooked. The service was impeccable.

The service was very chaotic. The server came after 30 minutes to take the order. Then the drinks came after the food. Then the main course came all random so we ate all seperate times since the plates came 20 minutes apart. They forgot. They apologized but nothing compensated. Would not recommend. Food was average

The ravioli was amazing! The fava bean pasta was more like a soup, just okay, and the steak was good. Service was great too.

Amazing, amazing place! We were there 3 evenings and the entire show is run by just 1 waiter, extremely professionally! Everything we have tried was delicious, overall it was the best place we have been in Sicilly so far :) thanks a lot!

Food is fantastic and the price is amazing. Pork shin was outstanding

Great Sicilian food in a small place. Only a waitress, the owner and a chef probably, as a matter of fact the service was bit slow, but probably due to all tables occupied on a Tuesday lunch! So better of you call to reserve, just in case! Parking is available only 200m away from the restaurant. Prices where very acceptable!

Excellent dining experience, Sicilian dishes with fresh ingredients at a fair price. Corteous and fast service. Recommended if visiting Modica.

Fantastic little find away from the tourist centre of Modica. Worth the walk. Don't be put off by the old school décor, the food here is as authentic as it is good value. We had an antipasto to share, 2 primi, a quarter litre of red wine, large bottle of sparkling water and 2 coffees for €26. Excellent pasta, waitress was very welcoming and patient with our poor Italian.

Very good food, very fairly priced, very friendly staff. What else can you ask for? :)

This meal is now among the top 5 (or top 3?) of my life. My wife and me drove around Sicily for two weeks and from the very beginning of our planning we had this place marked. Modica is a beautiful city build around the mountains with narrow streets that become restaurants in summer nights. Accursio is a small, humble restaurant with perfect lightning. We asked for the tasting menu with wine pairing. The experience were seamless from the very beginning, dish after dish the chef and his team startled us with flavors and the aesthetic of the presentation. A tomato water (yes, tomato water!) to cleanse your palate, a oyster shot with tonic water and almond milk froth, a cappelli d'angelo pasta with raw shrimp and caviar and a perfectly cooked veal were among my favorites. All combined with a great selection of whites, sparkling and red wines. Such a beautiful experience that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. Grazie, Accursio

The food bursts in great flavors and textures, and super cheap for what you get out. Even simple dishes are bloody delicious. The location is superb, interior as well. Definitely worth 5 stars (and it’s Michelin star). Don’t miss out on the veg creme with octopus for starter!

A little disappointed not as good as other one star Michelin food… the squid was over cooked and gone rubbery and some flavours lacked the punch. So that’s why I think it’s overpriced :)

Truly exceptional. The entire dinner from start to finish is an experience. The chef is a devoted artist telling a story, it was a joy to try to listen to what he had to say. Among the favorites was the Onion and breadcrumbs (wow, I almost cried tasting that one) and the Sicilian spaghetti with anchovy sauce. Staff was great, ambiance was great, and good wine selection. Overall, 🙌🏻

We enjoyed a delicious 6 course tasting menu. The dishes are mostly set but you can have one choice. The food is prepared meticulously and with lots of passion: that tastes delicious. Unfortunately portions are a little bit small. Service is very warm sind welcoming. Definitely a recommendation and the best place for dinner in Modica.

The photos are not that nice, but it does not reflect this amazing food. It's just a gourmet Sicilian cuisine. Everything is fresh and simple, but very very good.

Wonderful tasting menu lunch paired with excellent wines. Good and friendly service. Highly recommended!

Singola is a real gem! Tucked away behind a car street, you get to sit in a peaceful, nicely decorated garden. The food was really amazing. Italian with a twist, full of surprising tatses. I would definitely recommend coming here!

What a fantastic restaurant, with unique food, great atmosphere and amazing service. Armando, our waiter, was so truly passionate about the food being served, what it made us so excited about what was coming our way. Everything we had to eat was delicious and unique to anything we had on this trip so far. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but don’t like to eat with every meal, so this place was a welcomed break. Bother vegan and vegetarian dishes are available, and the dishes are so reasonable priced. You can tell the food is made with love and pride and the taste of each dish was delicious. I highly recommend this place for lovers of food.

We had an incredible Night at Singola. After searching for high quality vegan food it was an absolute pleasure to find a spot where there are not only exceptional dishes but you can really feel the culture through the food. The staff is amazing and very welcoming. The restaurant was our absolute highlight of the trip. Thanks!

Wow, what an amazing experience and restaurant. The food is one of the best we've had in Sicily and the kindness of the staff is out of this world. We were not sure what to have, so we challenge the waiter to choose 4 dishes for us (2 appetizers and 2 mains) and it was one of the best experiences we have had. 🤯 Our minds were bloom away by the quality of the food! Also, the place is really calm and quiet. We sit outside and enjoyed a nice evening. If you are around in Modica, this restaurant is one that you MUST try!

The best restaurant I have visited in many years maybe ever. The dishes are packed with well matched flavor combinations. In a very relaxing atmosphere inside the restaurant and nicely lit garden. With very friendly and knowledgeable staff that is fluent in English. And can take good care of dietary restrictions.

What a delightful find. A little hidden gem in amongst an olive grove, stone pine, fairy lights and an outdoor deck. Excellent service and the food and wines were outstanding . The owner was so passionate and proud of his food and his restaurant. It was perfect Kate & Dan, Sam & Craig from Australia

We found the place on the route back from Modica. The waiter was extremely friendly and patient, even when the restaurant was becoming quite busy. The food was incredible, especially the dish of the day (porcini mushrooms with tagiatella) and parmigiana with pumpkin and polenta. One of the best dinners we had in Sicily.

Food and armosphere were amazing!😍 the best food that we tried in Sicily, also the warm welcome of the staff was incredible!🥰 we are extremely happy that we found this place!!! Good luck guys!😍

Fantastic place to eat out. Delicious food and friendly staff. Highly recommend ❤️

The best pasta we had in Sicily... this is what we had been waiting for the whole trip! Fresh seafood, cooked right in front of you, delicious pistachio pesto in a truly authentic setting. We tried expensive restaurants before and didn’t get close to this quality or price. We ate on the street in an unassuming corner just off the main corso. White wine was perfectly paired, octopus ragú and mussels linguini spectacular, linguini ghamberi pomodoro pistaschio exquisite... honest prices run by two young local Italian guys with a lot of talent and heart. Just the pair of them running the show though so be prepared for the wait, a worthy one

Do not miss when in modica! Google strikes again with a perfect recommendation. Super friendly and attentive staff, amazingly tasty and flavourful food, fantastic choices of wines paired perfectly. Waitress is beyond helpful and polite whilst we tried to choose 😁 Chef deserves a hand shake too as the foods splendid! Highly recommended

a tiny restaurant where you just eat the day before fish harvest of excellent quality and original preparation. people are so spontaneously friendly and nice. a mandatory stop for everyone visiting Modica

That was greatest evening dinner we had around the sicily!

Absolutely top notch seafood meal out with the family. We can recommend all the food, but the absolute favourite for us and the kids was the fish ravioli. Great service and great people. Thanks so much for having us!

Do not look further, treat yourself on this fine Sicilian dining. with , different ingredients on the menu, like rabbit, lamb and octopus. We both took a gazpacho with gazpacho ice. Since it was 30 degrees it was a welcome cool feeling. After that my husband risotto with a hinge of lemon, a yummy olive oil. And I took the eggplant. We got a nice welcome bite, different lovely home baked bread. The white wine was passobianco. Tones of wood and vanilla. Not sweet. And the deserts were also outstanding. Till now this was our best meal, thank you

An absolute gem in Modena. The dishes are true fine dining—beautifully composed, deeply flavorful, and full of Sicilian soul. The complimentary amuse-bouche was outstanding, and both the ceviche and the deep-fried egg—soft and runny inside—were incredible. The rabbit was tender and richly sauced, and the pear dessert was stunning in both presentation and taste. It’s rare to find this level of creativity and refinement at such reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Fantastic food, a Michelin star place would be envy. Delicious meals, good combination of flavours and gorgeous serving. Really, the plates and glasses are awesome! The menu on their website is not uptodate, but you wont be disappointed on the actual menu. Speakimg of the menu, an english version could be helpful and a bit more attention of the waitress! Highly recommend the place, especially the orange emuslion desert with olive oil! Amazing!

We went here on a quiet Monday lunchtime. We had an exceptional experience through the enthusiasm of the waiter and the excellence of the chef. I had some of the best lamb I've ever tasted. We felt very spoiled by the super generous service throughout.

I and my wife, we had an amazing experience there. Food was very tasty, served beautifully and service was top notch as well. Definetely recomend this restaurant 👌

Food is fantastic and service is very good too. They are deserved to be more well-known in the region. We visited twice during 3 days trip. Its a fine dining restaurant which is different with normal pizza street house (bread side dish is very warm which other restaurants always provide cold bread. Olive oil had good quality also. Menu covers sufficient different cravings). In conclusion you get more than what you pay and it's worth.

Wonderful dining experience. Great service and high quality food. I would highly recommend for anyone who seeks an elevated dining experience at a reasonable price.

Best ravioli in Sicily!!! For real!!!! 👌🏻the atmosphere and the waitresses were smiling and willing to do recommendations. Don’t miss this places y you are in Modica. Prices are super affordable (3 persones, wine and dessert 69€)

To say we had a ricotta orgasm would be an understatement. We tried Pasta alla Norma for the first time. Ravioli with fresh ricotta, young ricotta itself, red wine… and cannoli filled with their signature cheese. Absolutely perfect. They even spoke to us in German, which made things so much easier. The wine pairing was exquisite. We’re beyond impressed.

Delicious italian food. Scaccia with ricotta and scaccia with tomatoes are tasty snacks. Ravioli with ricotta is delicate and melts in your mouth. Cavati pasta with tomato sauce was very good. waitresses were nice and smiling. a place worth recommending.

Small osteria offering a simple menu, exceptional quality and great value for money. The Raviolli with butter and sage are simply a dream in a plate. Highly recommended. Open for breakfast/lunch only.

Excellent homey food, generous portions at a very fair price. The pasta dishes (10€) were simple, yet delicious and flavorful!! Ricotta raviolo were massive and 14€ for the mixed meats platter is such a good deal. Friendly service and cozy terrace - absolutely recommended for a perfect and filling lunch!

You can't miss this place! The food was just superlative. All the ingredients are genuine, locally made and extremely fresh. Especially ricotta and cheese were just another level in terms of taste. Staff is nice and welcoming. Place is not touristy which we appreciated. Well done and we cannot wait to be back!

Food here is delicious. Order the Ravioli! You won't be disappointed.

We come to Modica couple of times a year, and we always have dinner in this restaurant. The owners are wonderful people, the food is always fresh and of high quality ingredients, very tasty, the menu is alwayd renewing and the service is great. The restaurant is in a very quiet neighbourhood. We always love going there.

Great service and fine dinning-style experience. The fish was fresh

Me and my girlfriend came to this Restaurant by suggestion of a local. We found a very prepared waitress called Martina. She gave us I would say one of the best services I’ve ever had. Attentive and Caring. We had Tuna tartar at first and to continue a pasta called tutti-frutti, We really wanted to go for the desert, But food was so good, and we ended up to full With no space left. I strongly suggest to everyone to come here if you want to have an amazing experience with Sicilian products.

I had the most amazing experience at this restaurant! The seafood pasta was the best I have ever had, perfectly cooked with fresh ingredients, and the wine selection was top-notch, complementing the meal beautifully. What made the evening even more special was the outstanding hospitality. On the night we visited, there was a big football match, and all the taxis were occupied. To our surprise, the owner of the restaurant himself offered to drive us back. His generosity and big heart truly made our night unforgettable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for delicious food, great wine, and exceptional service!

Great seafood restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere, relaxing music and friendly staff. The Quinto commensale (Modican chocolate sphere with almond ice cream and crumble) was one of the best desserts I have eaten.

Delightful seafood restaurant tucked down a side street in charming Modica. Quality food and attentive staff. Pricey but worth it in our view.

Definitely one of my best food experience ever! This is my third time at Ornato’s and every time is better and better. Food is AMAZING, wine selection is fantastic, professional and friendly customer service. Spectacular location with local art pieces and books ... we will keep going to Ornato’s!!!

Great lunch break, we ordered a Scoperchiata with ragù, arancini Norma and Salsiccia. Nice staff, delicious food. Scoperchiata is an experience. 100% recommended.

We sampled three flavours and all were delicious. The carbonara isn't quite as good as you don't get the ooze factor from the cheese (still delicious though). Lovely to stop in Modica for a few hours on our road trip

We came in just for some cannolo, we watched them being made fresh. Delicious! I want to come back to try their other food.

The food was delicious and service was quick and helpful. The atmosphere was simple like a diner. There is not much variety on the menu but everything we ordered was filling and delicious.

Good atmosphere, fast service and great arancini made on order. Good selection of beers

Some of the best Arancini I’ve ever eaten. The Spinaci and the Norma were delicious. The staff were really friendly and accommodating.

Excellent place. Very friendly staff. Amazing selection of Arancine, both traditional and innovative. Super tasty and good value. I've eaten here several times now.

The best price for the service and food! Everything was delicious, the owners were just adorable and they have gone all the way to explain their traditions! Plus do not worry you can taste the chocolate with anything you are buying ✨ Amazing experience, definitely I'd recommend!

This place is the definition of a perfect cafe/bar! The coffee, the service, the view, the vibe, the price – everything is fantastic. It's a bit of a hike to get to, but definitely worth it.

This place is the definition of a perfect cafe/bar! The coffee, the service, the view, the atmosphere, the price - everything is fantastic. It's a bit of a hike to get there, but it's definitely worth it.Trully a hidden gem!

Great bar with low prices. Smal beer was 2,20€ and Aperol Spritz was 5€. Great view to nearby cathedral.

Such a hidden gem. Cheap coffees, local modican chocolate, and a wonderful view with the church right beside you. The staff are lovely. Makes it completely worth the hike!

Enjoyed a relaxing hour with pastries and coffees. They sell only local products and only when they are in season. The tables are in the shade in the morning so a welcome from Modica’s searing heat.

Wonderful views along the edge of the cathedral to the town while enjoying coffee and snacks. The arancini was delicious and the prices excellent.

This food was sooooo good! Really delicious! The waiter was very friendly, would recommend this!

We had dinner at KuFù yesterday, and from the moment we arrived it was clear that this place is run by the kindest man you could ever meet. He seems to do everything by himself, but you would never notice in any negative way – everything is handled with so much care and attention. The food was truly wonderful. The tuna tartare was unlike anything I’ve ever had before, so fresh and full of creativity. He speaks with such passion about his dishes, and you can feel that same passion in every bite. To finish, he spoiled us with the most delicious desserts – including his own unique twist on tiramisu, which was simply unforgettable. This place is an absolute gem. My heartfelt recommendation: definitely go, and maybe make a reservation because it’s worth it.

Wow, such great food (try the pork belly), atmosphere (music), and best of all- the chef Luca and staff- so so nice and welcoming. Enjoy the fusion Japanese-Sicilian food- delight! And the beer was amazing.

Absolute MUST, both the food and the experience. The chef is some kind of food genius. If there are tacos, get them!

Amazing place to visit! Highly recommend! It was super cozy, staff is friendly and the food was amazing. We had octopus, pork belly, beef tartare and udon tuna, All the meals were deadly! Sake sour was the best cocktail I have ever tried!

the chef/owner is very kind, knowledgable, and passionate; he made us an excellent risotto and vegetarian gyoza. one of the best meals we’ve had in sicily!

The food is super fresh and tastes great. Prices are on the higher end since the portions aren’t super big but it’s definitely appropriate looking at the quality of the food. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly service. Can definitely recommend this place!!:)

When I first gave a bite to the freshly made cannolo I felt like I was in heaven. Best cannolo of my life. This pasticceria is a traditional one and it is amazing. Scorzette are made like it used to be and they are delicious. This is a must be place. Must not be missed when in Modica.

Should be your first stop in Modica. The atmosphere is wonderful, and it’s run by a lovely family. They let you experience the true taste of Sicily — authentic and full of charm.

Come here, eat cannoli, be happy 😊

Best cannoli we had in Sicily! They were prepared fresh when we ordered and had a perfect combination of ingredients. A must stop local bakery!

The best cannoli of my life and I love Maria. Such a gem of a place

You go in there and the shelf’s are empty - BUT - ask for Cannolo Ricotta and they make it fresh. 2€ ticket directly to pastry heaven.

(Translated by Google) During our stay in Sicily, we discovered this delicious artisanal pastry shop, which produces authentic Modica chocolate unlike any other! The owners are incredibly kind, and as soon as you enter their pastry shop, you can feel the history behind it and the passion they put into their work every day. When you enter, don't be fooled by the sparsely stocked display cases; they make everything fresh on the spot, so ask for whatever you want and it will be given to you! For breakfast, you absolutely must try the brioche and granita! The granitas are all delicious, but especially the almond one and the "incappucciata" coffee one with whipped cream! They also make all the almond paste cookies and gelato, as well as, of course, the chocolate, both in the classic bar form and the "Cuticci" version, inspired by the cobblestones typical of the city streets. If you find yourself in Modica, you can't miss it! (Original) Durante il nostro soggiorno in Sicilia abbiamo scoperto questa buonissima Pasticceria Artigianale, che produce l’autentico cioccolato di Modica come non lo troverete da nessun’altra parte! I proprietari dell’attività sono di una gentilezza unica, ed entrando nella loro pasticceria traspare tutta la storia che ci sta dietro e la passione che ogni giorno mettono nel loro lavoro. Quando entrate non fatevi ingannare dalle vetrine poco fornite; loro producono tutto fresco al momento perciò chiedete tutto quello che desiderate e vi sarà dato! Per colazione da provare assolutamente brioche e granita! Le granite sono tutte buonissime ma in particolare quella alla mandorla e quella al caffè “incappucciata” con panna montata! Di loro produzione artigianale anche tutti i biscotti di pasta di mandorle e il gelato, oltre naturalmente al cioccolato sia sotto forma di barretta classica sia fatto a “Cuticci” riprendendo i ciottoli tipici delle vie della città. Se vi trovate a Modica non potete non passare!

Great spot in Modica! We both had a patacon and I can truly say it’s one of the things, even while eating it, you know you will miss the taste! The owners are so incredibly nice and if we ate ever back in Modica we will most definitely visit again!

Absolutely brilliant place to go. The atmosphere is second to none and continued over several managers they’ve kept the vibe, the feel, the music, the service. What a place

We went there to see live music 11 points for that, but as the ewening was busy they did not have enough time to consentrate on food so we got a bit cold disches, i would go again for the music and the feeling anytime, also to eat but in a normal not too busy night...

Best food in all of Sicily and a very nice presentation. Extremely friendly staff 🥰

Cool place with a different menu to the usual proposals locally …. Great food …. Tapas … well prepared and generous portions …. Recommend it !

Amazing place with very welcoming atmosphere ❤️And the food.. so good! And a special thank you for the music!

Had drinks and arepas here and was impressed with everything. Situated on a cute pedestrian street, great outdoor seating, amazing food, and very friendly service! A really great spot with good prices.

The bread is great, but the opening hours are wrong. Can’t really buy anything before 9, or even 10 on weekends

(Translated by Google) This evening I ordered some pizza slices with high expectations... Alas, the pizza was horrible and made with poor-quality ingredients. Not to mention the exorbitant price for the quality of the products... When I opened the box, there was an unpleasant smell, and once we broke down the pizzas, we understood why..... Cured meats gone bad... DINNER WASTED and with it 25 euros for 4 slices. (Original) Questa sera ho preso dei tranci di pizza al taglio con grandi aspettative... Ahimè la Pizza era orribile e con prodotti di scarsa qualità. Per non commentare poi il prezzo esagerato per la qualità dei prodotti... Aperto lo scatolo vi era un odore sgradevole e una volta scomposte le pizze abbiamo capito il perché..... Salumi andati a male... CENA BUTTATA e con essa 25 euro per 4 tranci.

(Translated by Google) An excellent bakery where you can buy baked goods designed entirely by them. There's a reason why this place is recommended by the Gambero Rosso Bakeries edition. That reason is the excellent leavening and seasoning of their products. The location reminds me of the industrial style I've often found in Barcelona, but the view is that of the splendid and vibrant Modica. The service is friendly, fluid, and pleasant. The prices are fair. (Original) Un ottimo panificio dove poter acquistare prodotti da forno pensati interamente da loro. Se questo posto è consigliato dall’edizione di Gambero Rosso - Panifici, un motivo c’è. Questo motivo è l’eccellente lievitazione e condimento dei loro prodotti. La location mi ricorda molto lo stile industrial che ho trovato spesso a Barcellona, ma il panorama è quella della splendida e in pieno fermento Modica. Il servizio è socievole, fluido, e piacevole. Prezzi giusti.

(Translated by Google) Highlights: Opening a chic place in Modicalta, far from the usual tourist hotspots, that's reminiscent of French bakeries. The staff at the counter are knowledgeable about the quality of the flours and ingredients used for bread (very inviting loaves) and pizzas. Pan pizzas range from classic ones at €12/kg to gourmet ones at €18/kg. It's nice to find the Palermo-style sfincione, perhaps with a slightly over-matched crust and toppings. The pizzas with mortadella and stracciatella and with anchovies, chili peppers, onions, and stracciatella are delicious. The dough is high-quality, with a slightly unusual flour that makes the crust not always soft and/or crispy. €26 for a takeout dinner for four. Custom appetizers are also available upon request. (Original) Note di merito: aprire a Modicalta fuori da certi circuiti classici di turismo un luogo chic che richiama certe panetterie francesi. Competenti le spiegazioni dei ragazzi al bancone sulle qualità delle farine e degli ingrediente per pane (pagnotte molto invitanti) e pizze. Pizze in teglia al peso da quelle classiche a 12€/kg a quelle gourmet a 18€/kg. Bello trovare lo sfincione palermitano forse con un po troppa sproporzione tra base e condimento. Buone le pizze con mortadella e stracciatella e con acciughe peperoncino cipolle e stracciatella. Ingredienti di qualità impasto un po particolare con farine che rendono la base non sempre sofficissima e/o croccante. 26€ cena da asporto per 4 persone. Aperitivi anche su personalizzati su richiesta.

The food was fine. The meat was nice and soft, and the sauce in my girlfriend's dish added a nice flavour. The lemon gel was basically frozen lemon juice which was meh (but then, it's kind of to be expected). The cannolo was nice, not the absolute best, but I was happy with it. The staff is nice and friendly, and the place feels very local out of the way of the main tourism sites.

Good typical preparations and Sicilian dishes. Maybe a bit expensive, considering the place a typical Italian "Trattoria" we commonly know for being cheaper than other types of restaurants. But it's worth a try!

Amazing place in the heart of the most beautiful town around Sicily. Delicious pasta, ok good meat and fantastic ricotta Buonissimo

Amazing food! Classic homemade dishes, made me miss home and my family ♥️ Would definitely recommend the house wine as well.

A lovely find in Modica! An authentic experience we were looking for in our 2-week trip in Italy. Everything was delicious, well-made and splendid. We got the house appetiser, pasta alla Norma, meatballs, and the pork cooked in sauce.

Excellent, if a little basic. 5 minutes walk from the main road through tiny hill streets, well sign posted, extremely charming venue and setting. We ordered the fairly simple dishes (sausage and potatoes, trofie pomodora, lasagne), but they were all very tasty, decent but not massive portions, with lovely parfait/ice cream things for dessert. Made a lovely fuss of my 2 Yr old niece. Recommend

The food is really really good and it’s always full! Make sure to reserve if you want a table :) very good prices!

Came in early and got a warm welcome. Server was very helpful in explaining the menu and local products. They also came with options when we asked about gastric bypass portions. 👍 👍

Very good local pizza and a great atmosphere to soak in the vibes of the city. Absolutely not touristic. The wine options were amazing. The prizing for the pizza was very fair and moderate. Definitely consider getting dinner there if you’re in modica 🍕

Tucked away in a charming little alley that could easily be mistaken for a side street in Modica, this pizza restaurant is an absolute treasure. From the moment you step in, there’s an effortless magic in the air — the kind that comes from simple things done extraordinarily well. The prices are refreshingly reasonable, making it a place you can return to time and again without denting your wallet. The pizza? Easily some of the best I’ve had outside of southern Italy — crisp, wood-fired bases with perfectly balanced toppings that let the ingredients shine. The beers are cold and beautifully poured, making it all too easy to lose track of time as you soak in the laid-back atmosphere. The staff are faultless — warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It’s the kind of service that feels like hospitality rather than routine. But it’s the setting that steals the show. Nestled down a narrow, sun-dappled alley, the whole place feels transported from another time. Sitting there, with the soft hum of conversation and the scent of fresh basil in the air, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were dining in the backstreets of Modica itself. An unforgettable experience — casual, authentic, and delicious. This place is a must for anyone who appreciates great pizza served with soul.

We’ve been there twice so far and were very happy both times. The restaurant is nicely tucked away on a side street, yet right in the very centre. The food is delicious and the service is quick and friendly. We tried the octopus with guacamole, pasta with mushrooms and guanciale, grilled vegetables, mixed grilled meat, and of course two different pizzas — all excellent! The décor isn’t particularly impressive, but it’s simple and welcoming — and in a restaurant, it’s really the good food and friendly atmosphere that matter more than fancy decorations.

Great place We ate outide in the back where it was a small street. The Service was very good. Friendly people. We chose the simpel margareta and a walnut pizza. We also had a bottle of water and a bottle of coke. The pizza's where phenomenal 10/10 would recommend if you like a cosy space with comfort food

3* for the food taste 7* for the quality of service In this place you will be surprised by the professional staff more than the food! It was a very nice surprise for me, most of all the waiter Daniel! I did not had the best salmon or the best pasta, but the experience overall was great! The back street tables are very romantic in combination with the old walls and the narrow street ! As minuses will mention that the shrimps should be cleaned of intestines, even if they are whole on the plate! Salmon had to little salt for my taste! On rush hour you need a little patience because they are fully booked, but no one is left outside!

We stumbled upon this restaurant. We have four young children and needed to feed everyone. The service was friendly and quick. The food was DELICIOUS. We had mussels pizza and octopus salad. Everytning was fresh and tasty. I highly recommend La Contea.

The worst service in a restaurant I have ever experienced. Table reserved for 12 people at 21:00. Easy table to serve. 6 starters to share and pasta as main course. After 2 hours we had only beer, wine, bred and some of the starters. When we asked for the pasta the answer was 12 minutes. After 20 minutes we decided to leave the restaurant. We asked for the bill and they accepted us not to pay but they ruined our night and part of our deserved holidays. The responsible of the restaurant didn’t come to apologize. Only the waiter came to to talk to us. Bad experience. I’m sorry but never again.

We went for the bday of my best friend. They booked for a group around 9 persons. The portions of the food are generous but I didn't like the bread came not even warm and not olive oil or tapenade os something to eat it with. The service for a Thursday night was not great.

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. We made a reservation for a large group of people and arrived first at the restaurant, but it quickly became packed. Despite being the first ones there, we watched as every other table - mostly locals - received their food well before us. We waited over 2 hours for our meals, and only after repeatedly complaining and requesting to cancel the order did our food suddenly appear within 10 minutes. The staff were clearly overwhelmed and unprepared for the number of guests. Communication was nearly impossible as no one, including the manager, spoke English, and their attitude toward us as tourists felt dismissive and unwelcoming. The service was rude, unprofessional, and completely lacking in hospitality. The food itself was overpriced and nowhere near worth the wait or the stress. To make matters worse, they threatened us to take down our honest review, which is completely unacceptable. I strongly do not recommend this restaurant, they seriously need to improve their customer service, staff training, and overall respect for guests.

This was disappointing - and for the price, even more so. In the Modica area, we’ve had amazing meals at 50% less than La Sirenetta. The staff was oddly stand-offish. This is Sicily, warm greetings are normal. We were met with a mixture of “wondering why we were there” combined with an annoyance that we were. The one shining moment was when the host came to ask about our meal. He was lovely… I didn’t want to disappoint him with the truth. My pasta was actually pretty good, by itself. The added red shrimp were tasteless (really surprising in this area). At 18 euros, that’s not what I expect. My wife’s beef cheek was partially good and partially shoe leather.. the potatoes were… the best I can say is that butter was no where to be found in their making. It wasn’t an offensively bad experience, but it wasn’t what I expect at this price point… and certainly not in a region where I can get multiple better experiences for half the cost.

Absolutely Horrible Experience – Never Again If I could give zero stars, I would. I came here hoping for a decent meal, but instead, I got a masterclass in how not to run a restaurant. First off, it took one full hour just to get a drink. Yes, you read that right – 60 minutes for a simple drink. I thought maybe the kitchen was busy and the food would be faster. I was wrong. Another TWO HOURS passed before my food finally arrived. By then, my appetite was gone, and so was my patience. The staff barely acknowledged the delay, offered no apology, and seemed more confused than concerned. No compensation, no explanation – just an exhausting wait for a mediocre meal that wasn’t even worth the time. Save yourself the frustration and eat literally anywhere else.

Amazing service, Food so yummy, staffs are so friendly and helpful. Coming here exactly 1 week after my wedding. Last Friday celebrated my wedding lunch with la sirenetta.i love this place. La sirenetta become one of my favorite restaurant. Hope to see you soon la sirenetta. Highly recommended this restaurant ♥️

Worst food in Italy, and they will spam your email if you log into their WIFI.

You want a real taste of Italy? Then come here. Ring the bell to be let in, if the door is not open, because Fabio seems to run this place alone. Homemade kitchen to perfection! The salsiccia cooked in Nero d'Avola was very good! But then again, all we tried was good. High quality sausage, pasta perfectly al dente. Highly recommended.

Such a great dinner! Amazing food, by far the best we had during our 2-weeks stay in Sicily. Really authentic!

A hidden gem in the northern part of Modica, but well worth the small detour from the main downtown centre. Great food and service.

I was curious about traditional Sicilian food, so I tried it for the first time, but it was nice to be able to eat it in a variety of ways. The ravioli was soo delicious! I will go back to try another menu soon ;)

Great food! We’re so happy to find this place for lunch. The guy/staff was so kind and ever smiling☺️

Great place to go. Familial and traditionnal dishes. Fabio is really nice and helpful

Good food at a great price. Welcoming atmosphere.

Only open in the evenings after 7.00pm We had the taster menu of 3 dishes for €27. We alternated our choices for each course. Everything was delicious. The wait staff were very attentive, constantly checking on our progress between courses. We had a bottle of red wine recommend by our server which was excellent. An extremely enjoyable experience.

Amazing dinner last night! Traditional Sicilian cooking. Prices were very good. Wine selection was nice. Sausage/pork and Rabbit stew was outstanding. I highly recommend this place to eat at when you are in Modica.

Good food but the antipasto misto are massive. Degustation menu is good value.

We have been recommended this atmospheric restaurant by a few locals we met around a small square. We were enchanted by the genuine experience of kindness alongside the incredibly tasty and genuine traditional plates. A true dream you would not like to miss out on!

Nice view, reasonable prices, food was bit too homely.

A great restaurant in Modica. Perfect for traditional Sicilian food. It feels like you have been invited to your family for Sunday lunch. Delicious pasta and arancini. Also loved the sausages.

Authentic and very delicious food in a small street in the upper part of Modica. Seasonal and local ingredients are used to prepare the dishes. Friendly staff and a nice outdoor seating area in a narrow pedestrian street.

So. We are sitting here for over an hour now. People who have arrived after us are getting their sandwiches, but not us... according to the staff this was a 'mistake in the kitchen'. We are hungry. :(

Friendly staff and good food...very good beers.what else you want to expect from a pub?

Great burgers, local beer and very friendly staff.

Great food, great selection of beers and very friendly service

Delicious panini, fresh and tasty.

Amazing sandwiches stuffed with deliciousness!

(Translated by Google) In the center of Modica next to the Cathedral of San Pietro. Very well-kept location both externally and internally: Internal with some rooms overlooking the Corso; External with tables positioned on several levels. The dishes are excellent, they are mainly sandwiches with meat or fish, but there are also fish or meat dishes. Naturally, everything is prepared with care and with top-quality condiments. The staff is very kind, helpful, professional and can advise you on everything. We took: Potato wedges with honey, oregano and bacon (excessively good), Panelle with lemon and black pepper, 2 RAW, 1 PALERMO and 1 RICCIA. Finally, for dessert, 2 cannoli with ricotta and a portion of pancakes with Nutella and ricotta. To drink 2 beers and water. We ate well and paid the right price. We will definitely return. See you soon! (Original) Nel centro di Modica accanto al Duomo di San Pietro. Location molto curata sia esterna che interna: Interna con alcune stanza che si affacciano sul Corso; Esterna con tavoli posizionati su più livelli. I piatti sono ottimi, si tratta principalmente di panini con carne o pesce, ma ci sono anche piatti di pesce o carne. Naturalmente il tutto preparato con cura e con condimenti di prima scelta. Il personale è molto gentile, disponibile, professionale e ti sa consigliare su tutto. Abbiamo preso: Spicchi di patate con miele, origano e bacon (esageratamente buoni), Panelle con limone e pepe nero, 2 RAW, 1 PALERMO e 1 RICCIA. Per finire come dolce 2 cannoli alla ricotta e una porzione di frittelle con Nutella e ricotta. Da bere 2 birre e acqua. Abbiamo mangiato bene e pagato il giusto. Ritorneremo sicuramente. A presto!

The restaurant is out of the way in a tunnel like side street, it’s quite small with a few tables inside and out front. The food was a bit hit and miss - starters were fine (zucchini flowers with ricotta, scallops), but the primi ravioli with ricotta were quite tasteless and barely filled. The main course ‘burger’ with egg was just that meat with a fried egg and a small dollop of of cold mashed potatoes. Ordering a hamburger I expected more especially since it was 16€.

Very nice place to get a super tasty pasta alla norma (if you’re vegan/lactose intolerant you can get it without ricotta) 😋 My friend loved the pistacchio pesto and guanciale pasta! The staff is also very kind and helpful! We really enjoyed our dinner at Bisboccia!

We found this place by chance while wandering around Modica. Inside there are just a few tables, with more seating in an outdoor passage. On the shelves you can find publications about the owners and their philosophy. They promise to serve traditional dishes with their own signature twist. The menu is accessed via a QR code. It’s short but interesting. We tried the caponata and the octopus on a potato bed. Both were delicious, although the potatoes were served a little too cold. For mains, we ordered carbonara and carbonara di tonno. The carbonara was slightly too dry, as if the proportion of pasta to sauce wasn’t quite right. My husband enjoyed the crispy tuna in his carbonara. Overall, it was a pleasant meal, though the price-to-quality ratio and portion sizes felt a bit on the expensive side.

We ate at Bisboccia for lunch today. The food was absolutely excellent and the service was faultless. We had the taglieroni con le Sade for primi and shared a Sea bream and a swordfish for secondi. All were completely delicious. The best meal we have had in our week in Sicily!

amazing spaghetti with tomatoes sauce. good price . Young man and wife gave good services. I will come back. Thanks for delicious food for me.

Amazing pasta, highly recommend! We had wine, starters, pasta, sides and dessert. All was fantastic, flavour, portion, service, everything!

Wonderful, wonderful place. Great service and tasty food. The tasting menu is of great value, and can be served as a vegetarian version if you ask. The music was a but corny, but that's a minor thing.

Atmosphere: unfortunately personal, we felt like we are bothering them Food: just look at the picture…and never happened to me before that in Italian restaurant bring you seafood with parmigiana Overall very bad

Very easy going restaurant that feels like home. We had antipasti and fell in love with the frittata. I had Pasta Norma and it was very salted for my standards, but I still enjoyed it, you could definitely tell everything is fresh and hand made! In the photos you can see: - pasta Norma - linguine with squid ink - radicchio with melted cheese on top - mandarin Panna Cotta

Family owned, quiet atmosphere, very good.

Our hotel recommended this small restaurant when we asked for a tip for a local spot with simple food. The food is basic and very tasty and the service is very friendly and accommodating. We ate grilled radicchio with melted cheese, ravioli, sausage, and red table wine. Generous and filling portions.

Amazing place to eat, felt like at home. Service was just like (1st time) we always knew each others...food was genuine,good size portion and really nice

It is a small local restaurant recommend by my friend. She has tried the port sausages and tell me it is delicious and must try. The pork sausages was good, simple but tasty. Waiter can speak very little English.

The absolute best place to Eat in Modica. Authentic Sicilian food and very fresh. A great local Trattoria.

Fantastic Seafood and Excellent Service at Al Monaco Al Monaco is an absolute must-visit for seafood lovers. We always enjoy coming here to indulge in their delicious dishes, and every time, we are impressed by the freshness and quality of the seafood. The selection is diverse, offering a variety of fish and shellfish, all expertly prepared and beautifully presented. Beyond the food, the service is outstanding. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always happy to recommend the best dishes of the day. The atmosphere is warm and authentic, making you feel welcome from the moment you arrive. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner or a cozy meal with friends and family, Al Monaco never disappoints. A top choice for those who appreciate great seafood and genuine hospitality!

This restaurant is a nice place for dinner. Good for solo, groups, events. The food is delicious! We had family fish plates. They give you a good selection of fish dishes cooked home style. From hot to cold. There are other options on the menu. This was my first time here, highly recommend! Service is good and staff are courteous. I will go again. 😀

Good value for money. Plenty of fish starters...almost too many. Followed by seafood pasta and a mix of grilled fish.

What a gem! Amazing seafood. The anti pasta alone included 11 different fishes. The meal includes both vino rosso and vino bianco wine. So much food was enjoyed by all. Impeccably clean with outstanding service. Will be eating here again for sure! Grazie mille!

This is an absolutely fantastic place to eat. I'd highly recommend the fixed menu of fish - outstanding value for money!

The "fantasia di frutti di mare" is fantastic. 10 plates of incredible fresh seafood perfectly prepared and very well priced. The waiter was very hospitable and took great pride in his work. Location is lovely and spacious. Parking is very convenient. Highly recommended!

Went there for dinner on a Friday night. We were a table of 12 and opted for a feast for just 30 euro. With just the antipasti we were already full, it was so good, well served and prepared.. its just the best meal we had in Sicily. The pasta was to die for and the main course simply amazing!!! One of the best for sure and a must go for all!!!

A vast selection of real Italian pizzas, including sweet pizzas. Prices are very affordable. It is highly recommended.

Nice atmosphere, clean place, not too loud. Pizza is above average, prices are higher than other places in Sicily.

The best pizza I have ever had, the service was amazing, very polite and caring. The location very nice. I highly recommend it!!!

Quite a decent pizza. Not gonna be me fav but filling and fresh.

Best pizza in Modica👌 really nice, calm atmosphere, great service, amazing food. It's hard to choose pizza, because there is a lot of different pizzas and all of them sound delicious. Great desserts too!

Pizza was sooo good that we had it twice in our four day stay. Staff was absolutely amazing and I also loved the raspberry heart desert. Would HIGHLY recommend 👌👌👌

Good place where taste traditional and gourmet pizzas

This restaurant was a great experience! Basic ingredients with an experimental twist and structure. Highly recommended!

Beautiful dining experience, one which we stumbled upon accidentally but which we were very pleasantly surprised with! Service was stellar and the food was lovely, well done.

Amazing food, accommodating staff an overall amazing experience

Strange location in an industrial area, however in a picturesque building and cozy inside. Pleasant indoor temperature. Some fine amuse-bouches. Nicely balanced menu. Accurate description of the dishes by one of the daughters of the house. Portions not too abundant. Pretty complete wine list, correct wine food pairing suggestion by the other daughter of the house. Highly recommended restaurant.

Excellent... Excellent way to lose weight ... Very good veal...micro 100grams👌... Eating slowly will help.. But it is better to finish up and find another place to get a normal lunch... Alternatively go hungry.. What a surprise.. generally a modest portion of veal should be around 200 / 250 grams.. Thank you so much for a feather 🪶 weight Lunch

Absolutely addictive! Amazing food, wine and service. The sea urchin tagliatelle and the almond semifreddo were unbelievably good!

This place was amazing. The food was excellent and the service was even better. The presentation of the meal was very creative. The local made Cola taste like Pepsi and was very good. My daughter is a foodie who speaks fluent Italian and that made the experience even more enjoyable except for the part where I told the server that she looked like Lady Gaga. If I ever get back to this part of Italy I will come back to Taverna Migliore. Buon Appetito❤️

This is the best restaurant we have visited in Sicily. The service was exceptional. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food was varied and delicious, both the seafood and the carne dishes. They were also very accommodating to my wife who is Gluten Free. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Great food. Very creatieve and delicious with friendly (Italian spoken) service.

Very good place to eat! We had a great server who recommended multiple pizzas according to our tastes. Good atmosphere with a good vibe, and you can watch locals playing soccer as you enjoy the best pizza in Sicily!

The owners are such nice people, great with kids. A true Sicilian family restaurant! The pizzas were fantastic - a year later and we are still thinking about that pizza Siciliana. This place is one of the reasons we want to go back to Sicily. Thank you so much for a unforgettable experience! :)

Amazing food. True to the local Sicilian product. Friendly, great service. Wonderful ambience. An outstanding one of a kind desert. I would highly recommend this place.

Best pizza in Modica by far...starters also very interesting and wine selection outstanding! Deffo is a MUST....

Great wine selection. The food is fantastic with great choices, it's particularly good for people with special dietary requirements. They also have some great concerts during the winter months.

When you visit sicily, you definetly must visit convivio for the love of food! We went here last year several times and not disapointed once! We went back yesterday and left with a hughe smile on our faces as we are used to. From the anti pasti till the dessert..perfect. The use of local products and pizza's that you never tasted before 👌👌👌

All sicilian indregents for the 12 special pizza - best pizza in town, but outside the centre.

The food, calamari rings and moscardini, tastes to nothing, it is like prefabricated food. Thank god we put some lemon on it so at least we could get something out of it. Very expensive for the quality of the food

Pros: freshly made, well tasting food, friendly owners Cons: quite pricey especially fried shrimps (13€ per portion) are so small that it barely fills you after you peel off most of the shells

Very fast service of fresh seafood including squid, shrimp, sea bass and vegetables. The vege including celery, carrot and zucchini , prepared like French fries. Very unique and tasty.

Wonderful place to stop off and eat! The Calamari rings are wonderful especially complimented with a bottle of white wine on a Sicilian summers day! The owners are also extremely friendly! Thank you!

Old white bread with canned fish for €7!! For that price you can eat anywhere in Sicily better and get table service for it as well

Great staff!

Nice street food place. We ate fried seafood in a cone and a fresh salad and they were good. There's also a selection of local beverages available.

This place served up the best pizza I have had in Sicily. Great service. The pizza crust was crispy and light and the pizza ingredients were fresh and tasty. Great pizza! You must try it!

Very good pizza, easy parking. Staff were very friendly and accomodating! Highly reccomended!

Great pizza! Excellent dough with a really good crust. The staff is really nice, they evenet me inside the kitchen and showed me the oven! Highly recommended!! Very fair price and really not touristy

Super-friendly service, tasty pizza! Takeaway but also with couple of seats to enjoy your pizza on place. Grazie mille! 😀

Great pizza with a large menu from were to choose. The owner is very helpful. Great atmosphere.

super tasty pizza, we were able to communicate in English which was very helpful. Whole staff was super friendly and really committed to accommodate us (despite us coming unannouced in a bigger group and the venue being pretty small)

The dough is so good and light, excellent 👌. perfectly prepared 😍, Definitely the best pizza in Modica. Exceptional quality 5 stars✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️ ✴️, Bravissimi..👍, Thank you 🤗

We went twice during our trip in Modica, both times did not disappoint Pizza was incredible and also the tiramisu dessert we got to share, should have gotten one each it was delicious

The waiters were unimpressed with my request to swap out burrata for fior di latte on the Calabresella Mia pizza, but I stand by my choice! 😂 Excellent pizza, highly recommend!

Just had an amazing meal at Pizza Niria. We are visiting Sicily for a week and came across this place in Modica. Ordered 5 items and every one of them was a star! Not to be missed!! Great ambiance on patio in the evening.

We had an amazing dinner here—easily one of the best pizzas we’ve had in Sicily! Service was lightning fast, and all pizza's we ordered were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor (please try the pizza norma). What truly stood out was the kindness of the staff: when our daughter felt cold, they offered her a branded T-shirt to keep warm. Such a thoughtful gesture that we’ll never forget. Highly recommended for both the food and the hospitality!

We really enjoyed eating here . Its great for families and the food was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful and it was always a great experience at Pizza Niria. We loved it so much, we ate there 3 times during our holiday.

Food was delicious! The waiters were a bit wierd, but very nice

Very long wait to get a table, even more wait for food....was definitely worth our patience! Yummy food, friendly service, nice atmosphere with outdoor dining, good cocktail. Thinking about going again.

My family and I had a very nice experience here from start to finish. We visited Modica for the annual chocolate festival in December and arrived via tour bus a bit early and hungry. After the 250-step walk up to a large church and a visit to a chocolate shop we inquired about a nice place to eat. One of the men at the chocolate shop said to wait a moment and then returned with a very nice lady who spoke excellent English and told us about their special set menu for the day as well as the type of locally produced food items they use (the ancient wheat for one) at their restaurant. She escorted us next door and upstairs where we chose from the set menu and all three of us were very happy with our choices. We each tried a different pasta item and my son also had a chicken cutlet with lemon. My ricotta ravioli with ragout sauce was the best I have ever had. Ever. The view from our table was really nice too. The bathrooms were clean and well-stocked. I highly recommend this restaurant and definitely plan to return.

Good is extremely disappointing but quite expensive! Sea food was either too dry or still half-raw where I shouldn’t. Worst food experience ever made in Italy in > 20 years of travelling!

Such a great place! Atmosphere is amazing. Ask for Santo. He is the funniest person on the planet. The food is also very authentic and delicious.

Very pleasant place with moderate prices. Fresh pasta was excellent

It’s edible. That’s being generous. Just don’t.

A night to remember forever. Marvelous meal, stunning venue and incredible views across the Duomo. Moses and Graziella produced the finest of meals for our group at very short notice on their day off. They went more than the extra mile. Service was excellent. We had a truly fun evening. I can highly recommend this little gem of a restaurant. It's a true treasure. Don't miss it. If you are in Sicily make a plan to visit Vico dei Santi in Modica.

Seafood tagliatelle was fantastic. I rated this 5 stars. And then two men asked for a table but were told the kitchen was closed. While my wife and I were still there three lots of guests took their places and ordered. Were the two turned away gay or just friends? Does it matter? No one should be treated like this. As a result changed rating to one star. Such a shame - an otherwise excellent evening spoiled by the prejudice of one waiter.

Oh man, what a place! If you come to Modica, you HAVE TO try this place. They specialize in “Pinsa” which is like a pizza, but slightly different. (Yeah I know - just try it.) Amazing, crunchy and pillowy dough, really good quality ingredients and a view to die for - The pic shows the view that you get from the restaurant.

Food i good but not worth the price. Starter was cold, bread was old. Service has absolutely no motivation to deliver the service the price tag would tell. View is great though.

we went on a monday night at 7pm with 5 people. the beautiful woman serving us had a wonderful attitude and was very attentive! the view is incredible, watching the sun go down and the lights in the city turn on is spectacular. The food is tasty - nothing that needs special mentioning though. Would recommend!

Lovely staff, tremendous food, and incredible views. Best meal we had in Sicily.

Ok, this restaurant has discovered (or invented) the most amazing pizza crust I have ever experienced. Light, fluffy, but crispy and crunchy at the same time….and with the perfect amount of sponge it is something unkown to man. And only here. This is not a regional thing but a chef/restaurant thing you must experience!!!Treat yourself. There’s nothing like it i the world, as far as I can tell. Wow.

I rarely leave negative feedback but this time I feel like I need to and I also write it in English so everyone can read it. We booked a table for 8 for a birthday dinner and at our arrival they show us to a table for 6. As we kindly inform them about the mistake they leave us waiting for several minutes and then come back and say that they can add 2 seats to that same table that was clearly not big enough to accomodate all of us. We decline that offer and are left again for some time without anyone saying what was going on. After all the waiting they prepare a slightly bigger table in a corner far from everyone else and without the view that I think is the only good thing about the place. It was dark and loud because of the loudspeaker placed just above our heads. We are left yet again waiting for anyone to come and serve us. No drinks were served, they forgot the fries we ordered and the pinsas were mediocre. The menu describes them in beautiful words but really they are pretty common and don’t taste of anything. The waiters were kind but slightly confused. The manager did not handle the situation correctly and we felt like we weren’t treated as a client should be. They made a mistake and yet we felt like we paid the consequences. No apologies were made and if it hadn’t been Saturday evening when it is really difficult to book a table in any restaurant, especially for a group, we would have left immediately. I definitely don’t recommend it and surely will never come back.

If you are visiting the area and you would like to have a unique dinning experience, I definitely, without a shadow of doubt, recommend this wonderful restaurant. The view is breathtaking, the food is "un opera d'arte" and the service is remarkable. Thank you to all the staff that made our dinning experience unforgettable as we were celebrating an important anniversary.

Nice outside area by the road. Parking is not an issue. Worth visiting, one of the best in that location.

One of those unexpectedly perfect nights in Sicily with no reservations or research done. I think I just ate the best pizza I ever had in life and experienced so welcoming, caring and professional staff. I am really happy right now!

Very good Restaurant, The food is delicious . the service very nice and the price performance perfect. highly recommended !

A very decent restaurant, much more than a pizzeria. Nice, well-kept outdoor seating area. Warm welcome from two delightful, beautifully-dressed ladies. Excellent food at reasonable prices, efficiently served. Highly recommended.

Amazing restaurant!!! Good food.. perfect wine...lovely atmosphere...Will go again for sure !!

Most pleasant staff and the best pizzas

Good service and good . Ambience is nothing special but more than compensated with the food and service . Good wine choice . Will go again for sure

The staff is nice and polite. We ordered one Cavati In Tegame and one Spaghetti Boscaiola, and both were amazingly good. I truly recommend this place. For people with food restrictions, there is a small section in the menu where you can ask for gluten-free pizza, but I didn't order it.

We found this place via Google and based on the reviews had to give it a try. Pizzas and pasta were both delicious. Pasta was very fresh and cooked perfectly. Pizza dough was very good as well, with a large selection of toppings available. Staff were very friendly and this is the best meal we have had during this trip.

Amazing! Came here to eat lunch with my family. Friendly staff, quick service and delicious food. Very good place to come with a baby. Staff brought a book for our baby while we waited for our food to come and they had great restroom to change babys nappie😄👌 Highly recommended!

Tucked away in an alley named Via Santa Elisabetta, in the centre of Modica, this unassuming pizzeria and restaurant served us with an excellent meal, and service with a smile. Found this restaurant on the "Find me GF (Gluten Free) " app and definitely worth a visit. Also managed to find safe parking in the immediate vicinity which is a plus.

We visited around siesta time 18:00, one of few restaurants opened. It was empty, but cozy and homely. I ordered the ego pizza and it felt like a god has descended into the kitchen and made it. It was sooo good. Grazie mille!!

Delicious Pizza and very friendly staff. Reasonable prices and a cosy atmosphere makes this place worth to be visited. Enjoy a great meal while visiting the very beautiful baroc town of Modica

Food was absolutely delicious, (different kind of pizzas) service upmostly pleasant, explaining all the ingredients with such a passion! Great experience 👍

We had a perfect dinner at this place. Food is delicious, drinks were perfectly paired. Stuff was friendly and there was no issue in communication. Highly recommended

We had many different local dishes (tagliere and caponata), all very tastefull, interesting flavours and spices. The owner is passionated about the food, some recipes are from his mother or grandmother. Loved it. Definately recommend going there.

Excellent place where to find hidden Sicilian wine gems. It is rare to meet such passionate hosts like Enzo. Follow his advice and you can't be wrong! Cannolo was great too!

Had a special birthday dinner here when passing through on a cycling trip. Managed to have a delicious dinner and an excellent bottle of wine which we shared with the very friendly owner. We shared little language in common but the wonderful owner and waitress gave us an evening we will remember fondly forever.

Very nice and cozy atmosphere. The garden is amazing and the owner really makes you feel welcomed. Tip: try the canolli and local wine

Very nice wine bar and great owner. We had very nice wines and antipasti! Recommended!!

Wonderful food and wine. Found this spot hidden in an alley wondering around Modica. We were served by the very hospitable owner. Definitely a must eat in Modica.

Less than average food, absolutely no atmosphere and okay service. Definitely not worth it unless you are starving! Pizza is okay, don’t even try the seafood spaghetti…

Excellent food in the heart of modica...food made with love plus excellent service!!!

This is the top and best restaurant you can ever be in the south of Sicily!! The food is delicious, the restaurant is top class and super clean and the stuff is highly qualified in the business! If you want to have THE Sicilian seafood (and more) then without any doubt this is the place to try!

Good pizza. We were there quite early (1900) an therefore it was very quiet.

Great local place. Very very good margherita 💚

Gpod food, service and value for money.

Glass of good red wine (recommended) and excellent local beer. (Original) Parcheggio gratuito, disponibile! Siamo arrivati in due senza prenotazioni, il dj set non aveva iniziato ancora, abbiamo avuto la possibilità di sederci nella parte esterna coperta vicino alla stufa a gas.

(Translated by Google) The place is nice and the staff is also friendly... shame about the quite high prices!! The staff was a bit clever, we had asked for a platter for one person, they brought 3, a little distracted, plus they also brought some fried bread along with the platter without us ordering the bread... and they burned us 6 euros... .I say but if someone had money we would have to argue, in short, I repeat, an excellent place to relax, staff for their own business and doing what they want (Original) Il locale è bello anche il personale è gentile ..peccato per i prezzi abbastanza alti !! Il personale un po' furbo avevamo chiesto un tagliere per una persona ne hanno portati 3 un po' distratti in più hanno portato anche del pane fritto insieme al tagliere senza che noi lo abbiamo ordinato il pane.. e ci hanno bruciato 6 euro ...io dico ma se uno aveva i soldi contati dovevamo litigare insomma ripeto locale ottimo per rilassarsi personale per o fatti suoi e fanno di sua testa

The food was fresh and delicious, especially the pasta and mussels. The staff were very warm and attentive, and the recommended white wine was excellent. Thank you for giving us such a wonderful evening for our only dinner in Modica.

Family run restaurants filled with locals. Ignazio himself welcomed us even when we had no reservation on a busy Sunday lunch hour. The service was fast and friendly. The food arrived quickly to our delight.

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive. We would definitely come back!

During our visit to Modica, we had the pleasure of dining at Trattoria da Ignazio, and it truly lived up to its excellent reputation. This cozy, family-run trattoria offers a welcoming atmosphere and a genuine taste of Sicilian hospitality. We ordered spaghetti with red sauce for our child—simple, fresh, and perfectly cooked. It’s always a good sign when even the basics are done right. For ourselves, we went with both the seafood platter crudo and the cooked seafood platter, and both were outstanding. The crudo was incredibly fresh—delicate flavors of the sea, beautifully presented. The cooked platter was rich and satisfying, with each piece thoughtfully prepared and seasoned to let the natural flavors shine. The service was warm and attentive, with staff happy to explain the dishes and offer wine recommendations. It’s clear this is a place that cares about both its food and its guests. Whether you're a seafood lover or just looking for a place that feels authentically Sicilian, Trattoria da Ignazio is absolutely worth a visit.

Super restaurant in Modica.. the best in Town ! The Staff is soooo nice, the tipical food is very very good. We went two Times there. Portion are large and tasty.. we loved it!! Great Time

Super tasty seafood spaghetti!!!! And really a lot! Service is also nice, recommend!

Excellent food!! The Salmon pasta, mussels in red sauce and catch of the day (Sea bass) was incredible

Great modicano food and nice atmosphere. Could have scored five stars if wine had been better

Really enjoyed this local place. Very good and traditional food. Ravioli di riccotta woth pork tomato sauce, tasty meet e great riccotta. The meat was excellent, i reccomend you to try the "costata ripiena" and the rabbit.

Very good traditional food at very reasonable price

Great authentic Sunday lunch!

Very very good very very food

(Translated by Google) Excellent trattoria outside the city of Modica, in this "frigintini" hamlet there is this trattoria with genuine and abundant products, excellent starters, Scacce Modicane of the highest level, first courses especially the ravioli made to perfection with an elastic and thin dough, plenty of meat. Among the desserts, the ricotta pudding is phenomenal. Highly recommended. (Original) Ottima trattoria fuori porta a Modica, in questa frazione "frigintini" si trova questa trattoria dai prodotti genuini ed abbondanti, ottimi gli antipasti, Scacce Modicane di altissimo livello, primi soprattutto i ravioli fatti a regola d'arte con una pasta elastica e sottile, carne a iosa. Tra i dolci il budino di ricotta è fenomenale. Consigliatissimo.

(Translated by Google) An incredibly special place, it feels like dinner at a family home. You should always call and check availability, as they're only open on certain days. This guarantees the freshness and authenticity of the food served, which is made the old-fashioned way, without frills or spectacular effects, but just as good as when you go to dinner at your mom's or grandma's: you know you'll be licking your lips! Well done everyone ♥️ (Original) Un posto incredibilmente speciale, sembra di fare una cena a casa di familiari. Occorre sempre chiamare e verificare la disponibilità dato che sono aperti solo in certi giorni. Questo a garanzia della freschezza e genuinità del cibo servito, che viene fatto come una volta, senza fronzoli e mirabolanti effetti scenografici, ma buono come quando vai a cena da mamma o nonna: sai che ti leccherai i baffi! Bravi tutti ♥️

A good place to dine. it has good food especially the meat and the setup is really nice. The waiters are helpful and one tip they have a really good beer, it is a bit expensive but comes in large bottles called birrifico del Etna.

Statrter and first dish were excellent. The meat 🥩 was not my favorite. Too much fat in my opinion.

Food is excellent. Portions are decent and value for.money. will be looking forward to go back

Service was really nice to is. Food was bestond expectation. Big recommandation!

Great food

(Translated by Google) Excellent meat restaurant just outside the historic center of Modica. We ordered: the grilled Moors, the crunchy truffle eggs with Jerusalem artichoke puree, the spaghettoni with anchovies, the iblei cheese tile, the aubergine ravioli with tomato coulis and finally a typical ricotta cannoli (you can find everything in the photos attached). All very good. Personally, I particularly appreciated the grilled meat (meat cooked really well, the meatballs and Palermo-style rolls top), the aubergine ravioli (the flavors were very balanced and did not overwhelm) and the cannoli (the ricotta cream was fine and delicate ). These are not the classic Modican dishes, but in any case the flavors do not betray the Iblean territory (from which, moreover, the ingredients derive). (Original) Ottimo ristorante di carne appena fuori dal centro storico di Modica. Noi abbiamo ordinato: la grigliata dei mori, le uova croccanti al tartufo con purea di topinambur, gli spaghettoni con le alici, il tegolino di formaggi iblei, i ravioli di melanzane con coulis di pomodoro ed infine un tipico cannolo alla ricotta (trovate tutto nelle foto allegate). Tutto molto buono. Personalmente, ho particolarmente apprezzato la grigliata (carne cotta veramente bene, le polpettine e gli involtini alla palermitana top), i ravioli di melanzane (i sapori erano molto equilibrati e non si coprivano) e il cannolo (la crema di ricotta era fine e delicata). Non si tratta dei classici piatti modicani, ma comunque i sapori non tradiscono il territorio ibleo (da cui, peraltro, derivano gli ingredienti).

(Translated by Google) We had a pleasant dinner at this steakhouse restaurant which we had already tried for lunch last spring. We sat outside, in the large space reserved in front of the restaurant. Everything we ordered (tile of Iblei cheeses and bacon; cavati with tenerumi, cherry tomatoes and ragusano flakes; sliced ​​with chard; pork ribs and the large mixed grill, plus the final cannoli) was to our full liking: in particular we appreciated the quality of the meats offered and how well they were cooked. The service is friendly without being intrusive. The only sore point: when it was time to pay, our Amex was not accepted (unlike three months ago) due (literally) to the "high commissions". Having pointed out that a place of these pretensions must accept a card such as American Express, the person in charge of payment (perhaps the owner or perhaps a waiter), declared to us that in his opinion the customers should pay the commissions on the cards and not the operator. From the series: how to drown in a glass of water. (Original) Abbiamo cenato con piacere in questo ristorante - steakhouse che avevamo già provato, a pranzo , la scorsa primavera. Ci siamo accomodati all'aperto , nell'ampio spazio riservato davanti al locale. Tutto ciò che abbiamo ordinato ( tegolino di formaggi iblei e bacon ; cavati ai tenerumi , pomodorini e scaglie di ragusano; tagliata con biete ; pork ribs e la grande grigliata mista , più il cannolo finale ) è stato di nostro pieno gradimento: in particolare abbiamo apprezzato la qualità delle carni proposte e la buona cottura delle stesse . Il servizio è gentile senza essere invadente. Unica nota dolente: al momento di pagare , la nostra Amex non è stata accettata ( contrariamente a tre mesi fa ) per via ( testualmente ) delle " alte commissioni ". Avendo noi rimarcato che un locale di queste pretese deve accettare una carta come l'American Express, l'addetto al pagamento ( forse il titolare o forse un cameriere) , ci ha dichiarato che a suo avviso le commissioni sulle carte dovrebbero pagarle i clienti e non l'esercente. Della serie : come annegare in un bicchiere d'acqua .
