Must visit while in Noto…read more Must order: - Almond Granita: perfection. so light and refreshing, not sweet at all and you can taste the real almond. - Cannoli with Ricotta: out of all the ricotta cannolis I have tried, this place offers the best. - Espresso con Almond Cream on top: don't know the actual name of this drink but it was recommended by our server. We started with one and eventually, we all ended up ordering one. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the service was excellent.

Very exquisite. The pastries and unique expressos and capuccinos are a fine treat at any time of…read morethe day.

Not just the locals - we were there pretty much every day for granita/coffee in the morning, and a couple more during the day (And yes, the brioche is pretty damn amazing too - just the right texture for dunking)

My favorite place for gelato in the summer or pastries in the winter! There's hundreds of gelato…read moreshops in Modica so you have to make sure you pick the best one. This is the spot you have to go to where you will have no regrets. You can get anything from amazing coffee, granita (Italian ice) served with their homemade brioche buns, ice cream cakes, regular cakes, gelato, pastries, cocktails, the list goes on and on. They have indoor and outdoor seating that is plenty for all to come. Everyone is very friendly. I was lucky enough to go on a behind the scenes tour of the bakery. They homemake everything literally everything except the ceramic plates they serve it on. When in Modica stop by and have a treat. Great shopping is nearby just down the street.

Most people have never been to Modica but I am lucky that most of my family is from here. It is so…read morenice to go back and visit. One place that is a must on your trip is Liola for a espresso, granita or some incredible Gelato (that's ice cream to you Americans)! Liola is a family run business and they are all hard workers. The owner Georgette makes all of the gelato's fresh every day...you will usually find her in the back making tiny gelato cones or amazing ice cream cakes. The tiny gelato cones are very popular and people buy them by the pound. The bad part is that once you start eating them you can not stop. Why can't our ice cream in America taste like this? I think I could live here on gelato alone. And if you are reading this there is a good chance you only speak English...so do not be shy when visiting here because Georgetta speaks great English and would love to have a conversation and show you her kitchen. I loved the tour...it was great getting to see how the gelato cakes were made. My favorite gelato that I had and I sampled most of them was the pistachio. I almost did not get it because it was green but then said, "You only live once!" Wow was I hooked. In fact, it was my favorite flavor and I could have eaten it every day. My second favorite flavor gelato was the Baci, which is chocolate and hazelnut. In past trips, Baci use to by my number one, until my summer trip to Sicily this year. Sorry Baci!!! The espresso is also amazing here to...one of the best I have ever had in Europe. There is also beer here too but I could not mix it with gelato and espresso. I also recommend you try the granita. It is like an Italian Ice but you can actually eat with out needing a shovel. When I was a kid there was one flavor...espresso and then eventually came a second flavor called lemon. I had no idea that there were advances in granita over the past few years...there was strawberry (which I loved) and many other flavors to choose from. So if you find yourself traveling through Modica, then make sure you stop by here and have a nice treat...you deserve it...your on vacation right!!!

I was so excited to finally try some authentic Italian gelati. We stopped here after dinner and we…read morewere not disappointed. I tried the hazelnut and it was incredible. The flavor was fantastic. Everyone in our party got different flavors and we were all very happy with each one.

But wait till you get a taste of Marco's (the chef) cooking - it's enough to make you come back repeatedly for that alone! Everything he makes is a *slight* variation on Sicilian classics, but variations that serve to just make those classics oh so much better (yes! it's possible!). We'd have eaten there everyday if we weren't leaving the next day ... BTW Marco (the host, also called Marco!) is a wonderful guy - kind, personable, helpful, just about perfect... The bottom line - this is destination food. If you're in Scicli - go. If you're *not* in Scicli, it's worth it to go there just for the food!
