The best restaurants Modica

Located in the historic centre of Modica, almost opposite the Teatro Garibaldi, it is one of the oldest buildings in the city. The attention is focused on quality raw materials and respect for Sicilian culinary traditions, flavours of yesteryear that can only be found in the pots and pans of the nonna. The rabbit alla stimpirata with carrots, celery, garlic, capers, mint, olives, fries, vinegar and white wine will long be remembered. And the room is just like the plate, a rustic-retro setting with chequered tablecloths.

This pizzeria is unmistakable on a square of the Belvedere and the church of San Giovanni, with its terrace that extends its arms to you. It is full of hungry tourists who have stopped under the parasols. Open every day almost every hour, it has the merit of offering simple pizzas, but some too watery, too bad!

This family-run tavern offers simple and tasty rustic cuisine from the Modica tradition. With a good wine, you can start with cold meats and cheeses from the region. As a main course, the Nero d'Avola sausage served with fried potatoes is a real treat. Unless you let yourself be tempted by the star of the menu: rabbit à la Nicastro, a secret recipe of the charismatic chef, divinely fragrant. The tables scattered outside on a stone staircase offer a picturesque and romantic setting.

This family restaurant has been in existence since 1987. In the courtyard of a 17th century palace, which recalls the Muslim period of the island, tables covered in white under the lemon trees invite you to settle down. The setting is attractive, the modern kitchen in an Arab-baroque setting. The plates are as noble as the frame. Sophisticated nouvelle cuisine where Sicilian recipes are worked to perfection, like visual and culinary works of art. Bonus: Modena chocolate as a fabulous dessert! Ideal for a romantic dinner.

Well located in the city centre, this small pizzeria in a simple setting offers a wide range of cheap pizzas. Here, no matter what the decoration, the important thing is what's on the plate! The pizzas are reputed to be among the best and the number of visitors is proof of this. Five-grain dough, porcini mushrooms and other mushrooms, eggplant grilled to perfection, tasty tomato sauce, melting mozzarella, tasty parmesan cheese shavings, crazy pizza size, it's all there. We recommend a table on the terrace to enjoy the bustle of the street.
