玛约利别墅 9, 艾玛别墅

In one of Sicily’s most iconic fortified villages which once prospered as a tuna fishery and is now a popular tourist attraction, Cortile Arabo serves carefully prepared and occasionally elaborate dishes of the highest quality, with a focus on fish (the menu also features a few meat dishes). The terrace on the rocks overlooking the sea, where the sound of the waves provides a soothing backdrop, is one of the highlights here.

The Principe di Belludia is the gourmet restaurant at the Il San Corrado di Noto hotel, a luxurious resort in a secluded rural location with two enormous swimming pools. The new executive chef Martin Lazarov showcases his love for Sicily, with a particular attention to vegetables dishes.

Part of the Country House Villadorata resort in the hills outside Noto, this restaurant boasts a delightful setting with the sea as a backdrop, surrounded by gardens which provide many of the vegetables used in the cuisine. Matteo Carnaghi is at the helm in the kitchen, with excellent results and a cuisine is firmly rooted in Sicilian ingredients, offered through two tasting menus of flexible length, with dishes also available à la carte.
