The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Sicily

Simple, friendly, tasty and cheap. In the high season, the restaurant is open every day non-stop. The house is run by a family. Everyone pitches in, and it works! The cuisine is that of Sicilian grandmothers. Try the risotto with fish from the day's catch, or a famous fish fry, delicious. The pasta is also appetizing. The reception is very friendly, the owner will always have a little story to tell you, and in French please. The terrace overlooks the port.

This is a very reputable institution and frequented by the young people of the city, because the pizzas are gargantuan, delicious and inexpensive. The perfect address for broke travelers who want to eat on a tight budget. Good lasagne in the oven and above all excellent pizzas made over a wood fire, the house speciality. Warm welcome. The popularity of the address makes booking more than necessary, or plan to order take-out to devour your pizza on a picnic in the city.

This trattoria offers a real Sicilian market cuisine, but revisited according to a contemporary culinary aesthetic, very imaginative both in textures and flavours. The setting is very elegant and the prices are high. The tasting menu is a nice discovery, especially the red prawns with ricotta and lemon. The octopus in spinach sauce on a mashed potato with capers is topped with a cuttlefish ink chip. For dessert, Modica's chocolate éclair with smoked salt, cinnamon, or cocoa bean cake, cream of rum.

This bar-restaurant is located in an alleyway between via Roma and via Maqueda. The welcome is warm and the cuisine is of high quality. Not to be missed for a thrifty lunch in the historic centre. The Bocconcini Belpaese, bacon rolled on a ball of melting mozzarella, are devilish. The tagliatelle of the house, with lobster bisque and a stracciatella hat, are original and delicious. All this for a more than reasonable addition. Do not hesitate to ask for a table on the pleasant terrace.
