La Madia In Licata

I can only describe the experience as super positive, with a strong emphasis on local ingredients that transform into excellent dishes (what the heck am I even telling you), and the extremely friendly staff. And the incredibly humble chef Pino Cuttaia, who comes to meet you, explains the dishes, and bids you farewell? Everything was exceptional...

Welcome, service, everything was perfect. Incredible dishes, boundless creativity, a generosity that comes from the heart, which you find on the plate. A complex simplicity, an explosion of flavors and colors. Sicily has flavor that Chef Cuttaia harnesses to make your taste buds explode. A great man. Bravo Chef!

A one-of-a-kind tasting experience. Extraordinary dishes. A must-try.

I'd read so much about this restaurant, and my expectations were sky-high... along with that subtle fear that sometimes accompanies those who fear disappointment. But from the first bite, all doubts vanished: sublime dishes, the result of a perfect balance of ingredients and flavors, capable of telling a story with every bite. An experience that not only kept its promises, but surpassed them with grace and mastery.

A SUBJECT experience!!!!!! I'll do it again, I'd recommend it... I've been to other restaurants of the same caliber, but I REALLY found La Madia to be a cut above! The atmosphere is super refined yet simple and minimalist, the menu offers interesting options, and then you can choose and make changes to the menu alongside Chef Cuttaia (a delightful person)... that doesn't happen every day!!!! Highly recommended!

An unforgettable evening: a journey through flavors, emotions, and beauty We had the pleasure of enjoying a truly unique experience as a couple at Pino Cuttaia's restaurant, and we can only describe it as much more than a simple dinner: it was a true sensory journey. The restaurant exudes understated elegance and refinement: every detail, from the furnishings to the color scheme, exudes harmony and care, creating a warm, welcoming, almost intimate atmosphere. The staff is exceptionally kind: polite, attentive, and extraordinarily professional, making each guest feel at the center of a tailor-made experience. And then the cuisine... what more can I say? Simply marvelous. Each dish is a step on a journey that excites, surprises, and inspires reflection. It's not just about excellent flavors—refined, balanced, surprising—but also about stories, about meanings. Each course is accompanied by an explanation that brings it even more to life: it's immediately clear that behind every creation lies a profound thought, a memory, an intuition from the chef, a narrative that enriches the palate and the mind. What Pino offers isn't just haute cuisine: it's an art form, a tale of taste, beauty, and memory. It's a journey made up of different stages, each capable of leaving something behind, just like a true journey. Thank you, Pino, for allowing us to experience this wonderful experience. Sincere congratulations for what you've created: a place where excellence meets the soul. Marco

I had never crossed the threshold of a Michelin-starred restaurant, nor did I think a meal could evoke such a profound sense of wonder. La Madia di Pino isn't just a place to dine: it's a suspended space, where time slows down and food once again has a voice. In an age where haste has numbed taste and the market has accustomed us to repetitive, industrial flavors, this experience felt like a revelation. For the first time in a long time, I truly ate: with my sight, my smell, my hearing, my heart. Each dish, conceived as a fragment of art, invited slowness and contemplation of taste. It's a journey that reminds us how far we've come from listening to food, and how much beauty there is still to be rediscovered or recovered. A precious experience, which teaches—or perhaps reminds—that nourishment can also be an act of beauty and truth. It was well-deserved! Thank you, Pino

A masterpiece of a dinner, fully worthy of what one would expect from a two-Michelin-star experience. Of course, the bill is accordingly, but we left happy to have invested that money in such a gastronomic experience. Chef Cuttaia also comes to the table frequently to check on the progress of the dinner and to chat in a very pleasant manner.

Eccezionale due stelle meritatissime Trovi l’eccellenza, il garbo, la gentilezza, la professionalità, il gusto autentico e i sapori di materie prime meravigliose. Esperienza indimenticabile

Un'esperienza meravigliosa, altamente consigliata sotto diversi punti di vista. Lo chef Pino Cuttaia è il garbato, accogliente, raffinato, preparato e quanto mai umile ( qualità assai rara e apprezzabile ) padrone di casa di un locale che assolutamente si distingue nel panorama della ristorazione. Un professionista, Cuttaia, che conversa amabilmente con gli avventori e si accerta con cura ma senza invadenza del loro benessere; un professionista che in cucina sa bene unire la qualità delle materie prime con i profumi, i colori, sapori mediterranei e crea piccoli capolavori che sorprendono. Lodevole il servizio dei suoi collaboratori. Il costo? Proporzionato a ciò che il locale presenta e rappresenta. La Sicilia, alla fine, ne esce trionfante. Lieti, dunque, della scelta ristorativa e della conoscenza personale.
