We dined at this restaurant a few nights ago when we visited Modica. We were pleasantly surprised by the fact that the menu isn't the usual run-of-the-mill fare, with Mazara red shrimp and fish taking center stage.
It's a selection of dishes that grandma makes, like the pasta with tinnirumi, which was excellent, and the rabbit alla stimpirata, which I'd never tried (the mint balanced the other flavors well). The almond jelly was highly recommended.
When paying, we noticed that they sell the ingredients used in the dishes, such as Cosaruciara beans and Modica broad beans, which we were happy to purchase.

A typical Sicilian trattoria with local products.
The menu is touristy, but the quality is guaranteed.

We finally managed to have lunch at this old-fashioned osteria, both for the location and for the typical dishes of Modica's tradition.
And indeed, we were spoiled for choice, so much so that we wanted to try everything... luckily we were advised to wait to see if we could eat anything else.
But we tried a delicious caponata, followed by cavatelli with pork sauce, a spectacular broth with quadrucci and tiny meatballs (delicious 😍), the rabbit alla stimpiriata, which my companion ate and loved, and the chard with dried tomatoes.
Everything was delicious and we'll definitely be back!!!
I recommend it to anyone who wants to eat well and, above all, try traditional dishes.

Typical Modica food, and a menu that can almost entirely be replicated gluten-free.

Friendly, helpful staff, ready to explain if you need anything. The atmosphere is family-friendly, the food is excellent, and flavors are rediscovered. The dishes off the menu are spectacular, as are those on the menu. The house wine—I tried the white—was delicious.
Highly recommended.
