Trattoria La Carretteria In Noto

It was exceptionally good. I ordered "parcheri con spada melanzane e ciliegino," which is large pasta with swordfish, fresh tomatoes, crushed pistachios, raisins, mint, and pine nuts.

Mrs. Ada is a volcano of charm; we hit it off immediately. As a couple of friends, we ordered caponata (to call it excellent and plentiful is an understatement), octopus alla Luciana, and Sicilian-style swordfish. The house wine is good. Highly recommended.

If you're looking for a restaurant where you can feel at home, you've come to the right place. Signora Ada will welcome you, her warmth and kindness will leave you speechless—a welcome you'll only find in truly special places these days. We tried the caponata, which was simply out of this world: fragrant, perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, and—no small detail—served in such a generous portion that it was almost impossible to finish. The tuna with cherry tomatoes and capers was also superb, as was the paccheri with swordfish, eggplant, and cherry tomatoes. Finally, the cannoli, wonderful and all homemade (even the shell). Behind the stove is a brilliant chef, capable of respecting tradition without falling into banality. Table service is quick and efficient, with smiling, customer-focused staff. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, just like being at home—but with someone who cooks better. Highly recommended. We'll be back, and we'll bring people!

Awesome pizzas too! Highly recommended. Locals go there

Excellent family Sicilian restaurant Perfect food and service

Mrs. Ada is very nice and the food is spectacular.

One of the best meals in Sicily, and the owner is very friendly. Simply spectacular.

The restaurant is located in a quiet alley, with a very friendly and helpful owner. We ordered the ricotta ravioli alla norma and the paccheri with shrimp, mussels, and pistachios. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced for the area and the freshness of the produce. Highly recommended!

Excellent little restaurant in the historic center of Noto, in a small side street just off the main road. The food is plentiful, tasty, high-quality, and well-prepared, especially the spaghetti with mussel sauce. The staff is courteous, friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The atmosphere is relaxed and typically Sicilian. There are only a few tables, so I recommend booking. I definitely recommend it and would gladly return.
