FATTORIA DELLE TORRI In Modica

Sapori ricercati ed autentici in una location di altri tempi affidata al gusto della seconda generazione. Molto bravi anche nel servizio Unica nota strana sul menu si paga extra su seconda portata del pane e dell’acqua.

As a solo traveller, diner, and lover of food it is very important to me that where I dine feels both special and comfortable. This was hands down the best restaurant I visited during my time in Sicily. The food was outstanding. I have a hard time eating in public but cleaned every plate! The wine was also very good. I would have to say though that the service was what really made the experience perfect. I believe the chef’s husband was the host and I could tell there was love in that place because the service and atmosphere was fantastic.

Enchanting place in a building with an ancient lemon house in the center of Modica... top cuisine... it's a surprise that catches us at the end of Vicolo Napolitano which is certainly not an avenue. The well-spaced and excellently set tables are caressed by magical gusts of coolness and invite quiet conversation. This is a rare characteristic to which to give the value it deserves as well as to the owner and chef, master of younger chefs, who never ceases to amaze by highlighting the ancient recipes of Sicilian cuisine masterfully revisited. It represents an event not to be missed and offers the possibility of appreciating the variations of the menu that change according to the season. Last night's visit allowed us to confirm the assessment One year later and with the Covid disaster involved, tonight 15 July after 1600 km between yesterday and today we wanted to celebrate here with Gianluca and Emilia the embrace of our Sicily almost as if the task of welcoming us was entrusted to them. Sublime dinner... UPDATE today 5 May 2021. I called Emilia who confirmed the news: for this season she will be at Ciccio Sultano's Bistrot I Banchi and Gianluca at the Duomo of Ragusa also by Ciccio Sultano. UPDATE JULY 2022: together they collaborate with Lorenzo Ruta at the Taverna Migliore in Modica

Located in the center of lower Modica, but in an alley that guarantees tranquility, it is a place furnished with simple elegance. Cozy, even romantic. The menu is constantly evolving, as is Francesca Barone's traditional and, at the same time, sparkling with imagination cuisine. Very young, without taboos but respectful of the seasonality and territoriality of tradition. In the dining room are sister Carla and her husband, who best manage the attentive service and a cellar full of surprises and distant harvests. Excellent success of the dishes and a quality/price ratio that is difficult to find elsewhere. The tasting menus leave ample freedom of choice and are extremely convenient. Very recommended!
