Cantina Modica In Noto

We dined outside on a street overlooked by stunning baroque balconies, but the interior is also very beautiful and evocative. The table service is professional, courteous, and friendly. The dishes we ate were delicious. The highlight of the first course is the fresh pasta; we had ravioli with ricotta cheese and pork sauce, and macaroni with veal meatballs. For the second course, there was a mixed grill and a boneless grilled chicken leg. The wine selection was also excellent. A surprise was the opportunity to visit the family museum on the first floor, featuring period objects, furniture, and clothing, and a small balcony from which to photograph the street from above. We returned two evenings.

Friendly welcome. There were five of us and all the dishes we chose were tasty and generous.

Atmosphere is great but food didn't hit the mark. The pastas were al dente but some pieces borderline uncooked, especially in the pistachio one. The ravioli tasted extremely basic with no depth to the sauce or filling. I don't mean to insult but I've honestly enjoyed Trader Joes ravioli more than this in the past. Orange salad was solid, the service was nice, and I understand it's a touristy city, but the value just didn't deliver especially considering the price. The bathroom and interior are super cool tho.

The place is beutifull. Food is expensive and there is alot better places with better food and cheaper. They humt down pasers by so be careaful

I really don't understand the reviews that speak badly of this restaurant's cuisine. We went for lunch yesterday; it was still early and we were the second customers in the place (and then it filled up really well!). We stopped spontaneously, attracted by the homemade pasta and the location, away from the chaos, on the beautiful Via Nicolaci. We hadn't booked and I hadn't read any reviews, not influenced by any judgment. I started by asking for an Aperol Spritz and they also brought me some excellent bread baked in a wood-fired oven directly on the stone, along with extra virgin olive oil. This already won me over; that bread took me back to flavors of my childhood, to the bread my grandmother used to make; it was truly delicious and fragrant! We tried the vegetable couscous, good but nothing exceptional. Then I had a first course with tuna and eggplant, my husband (a vegetarian) had the pistachio pasta. Both were delicious and with plenty of sauce. Finally, we had a tiramisu (a revisited recipe but incredibly delicious) and a Sicilian cannoli, along with white wine and water. and coffee; we paid €92 in total, which was a fair price considering the quality, the quantity, and the location. The staff was kind, always helpful, and attentive. The interior is really very cute. Important note: if you go, visit the museum upstairs: it's interesting, but above all, you'll take some beautiful photos on the balcony with the cathedral in the background, a stunning view! And if this review helped you, leave a little heart :)

Nice restaurant, nice waiters & Very Good wine

Very nice, historic place located in the center in a historic building. It was a 250-year-old cellar. Excellent quality food, not exactly cheap, but quality is paid for. Excellent wines, very kind and qualified staff, I recommend it.

We were captivated by the location, which is indeed historic and beautiful...it's a shame the taste and quality of the food aren't up to par. The quality/price ratio is disproportionate.

The restaurant, including the restroom and museum, is worth a visit! The food was good, and so was the service.

Good evening, we discovered this place thanks to Corrado and his tour of Noto with the Ape car, we were forced to eat inside because unfortunately it was raining, however beautiful both inside and outside, compliments for the cuisine and compliments to Corrado, highly recommended Giuliana
