Ristorante Crocifisso In Noto

Excellent quality ingredients and sophisticated pairings and recipes. Location: Good lighting but limited ambiance, no music, and tables quite close together. Overall, a good experience; we'd return to try new delicacies.

I don't usually write reviews, but this time I felt compelled to share my unfortunately negative experience at this Michelin-starred restaurant regarding their gluten-free options. When I ordered, I had chosen the meat menu, but was told it was "better" to opt for the fish menu, as it tasted better in a gluten-free version. I'm sure this wasn't the reason, but it was the most expensive. For dessert, I was initially offered a simple lemon sorbet, and in the end, I was the one who suggested the solution: just serve the ricotta from the cannoli, as they didn't have any gluten-free options. Bread in Michelin-starred restaurants is usually artisanal, homemade, or from quality bakeries. Here, however, I was served a Schaer multigrain loaf. The entrées I was served were also fewer than those my companion had. The pasta was supposed to be with anchovies, fennel, and breadcrumbs: mine arrived without the breadcrumbs. As a Sicilian, I know that this dish, without its crumbs, is completely meaningless. In other Michelin-starred restaurants I've been to, in these cases, they directly change the dish to maintain its overall quality, not simply eliminate the gluten-containing ingredient. I've been to several Michelin-starred restaurants and have never experienced such a lack of attention to gluten-free options. This isn't a polemic: the staff was very kind, but there's plenty of room for improvement when it comes to gluten-free options. The price isn't ridiculous, and for this very reason, I expect the same experience and attention to detail given to all customers.

Food, wine, overall experience was excellent. We had the 8 course chefs selection which is a great mix of land, sea and vegetarian. However, it was overpriced. The wine pairing should be less for what you get - 1/3 glass of wine for 14 euro per glass. It’s hard to swallow when we had an amazing bottle of wine for 30 total the night before.

The tortelloni are truly excellent but the amuse-bouches would pass for (highly ambitious) canapes at a corporate event and the lamb main is a classic example of character-less sous-vide preparation. We also had difficulties with the wine, which exhibited brettanomyces and/or amyl acetate. When I pointed this out to the sommelier, the sommelier decided to show me the cork. That simply indicates ignorance of the nature of these particular defects in wine. A pretty awkward experience overall, slightly made up for by the brilliant tortelloni.

Very refined atmosphere, fantastic food and professional and very kind staff

This is an amazing place and a true dining experience. From the impeccable service, knowleable and super friendly staff to the perfectly executed dishes, there was nothing that could have been better during our dinner. Our dinner here will remain a fond memory for a very very long time! Thank you!

Thought the service , food and wine were fantastic. The atmosphere was a little stark but we arrived earlier than most .

A place to try, impeccable and meticulous service, the sommelier is competent and very kind and passionate, the chef came to the table several times to explain the dishes, always with a smile that put everyone at ease. The food was truly fantastic.
