€€€€

In the heart of Ibla, one of the most evocative historic districts not only of this wonderful island but of Italy itself, chef Ciccio Sultano embodies the very essence of Sicily, also through his latest “citrica” philosophy, about which he will – undoubtedly – tell you once you are seated in his classic, elegant venue just steps from the Duomo di San Giorgio (well worth a visit). You will be welcomed and served with refinement and expertise by a young, passionate team, including a carefully curated wine selection. Drawing on a profound knowledge of his land, the charismatic and friendly chef s

€€€€

Situated on the ring road which runs around Ibla, one of the most charming and picturesque historic districts in Sicily, this restaurant is as delightful as its surroundings. Despite being partly built into the rock, the dining room here is elegant rather than rustic and the service highly attentive, making this the perfect choice for a romantic, gourmet dinner. Vincenzo Candiano is an extraordinary chef who continues to experiment with new dishes, combining classic favourites with other more innovative recipes (still with a Sicilian influence) on his menu. There’s also a renowned wine list wi

I Banchi

Sicilian, Contemporary

€€

Housed in a palazzo full of history – the building was a synagogue before the 1693 earthquake and has retained its ritual bath in its charming room of mirrors – this restaurant bears the imprint of renowned chef Ciccio Sultano, holder of two Michelin stars at the nearby Duomo restaurant. The cuisine is eclectic yet with a Sicilian focus, plus the wine list is complemented by a choice of interesting cocktails.

Radici – L’Osteria di Accursio

Sicilian, Traditional Cuisine

€€

Accursio Craparo has returned to his “Roots”: in two simple and elegant dining rooms, or in the spacious and enchanting outdoor summer space overlooking the historic center – weather permitting – the offering is based on traditional Sicilian cuisine, presented in consistently generous dishes, sometimes enriched with a touch of personal interpretation.

Dabbanna

It all began with the Cabbanna rotisserie, opened by grandfather Carmelo in 1971 and still going strong today, on his return from a time spent living in Venezuela. Fifty years later, his grandchildren are running a restaurant right opposite, in the central area of lower Modica, in a charming establishment with tasteful, welcoming interiors and several outdoor tables used in the summer. The menu is based on the island's ingredients and recipes, but also includes exotic influences — such as ceviche, known locally as “Ciauru ri mari” — reinterpreted with a contemporary twist. This results in colo

Fattoria delle Torri

A slice of paradise in Modica’s historic center: delightful terrace service among the lemon trees and a professional legacy carried on by chef-patron Peppe Barone's daughters – Carla in the dining room and Francesca in the kitchen – who, with youthful energy, champion a highly original gastronomic offering that balances innovation with tradition. They draw freely from the island’s culinary history, enriching it with exotic touches often characterized by gently spiced flavors. The wine program is equally impressive: guests can confidently rely on their recommendations to discover something spec
