Each course was of course delicious, but more importantly magnetic and filled with moments of surprise -- borrowing the most useful skills of molecular gastronomy without overwhelming the meal itself. I would describe the dishes here but I don't want to ruin the thrill of your first experience. We ended up leaving Sicily with cases of both the white the sommelier recommended and the olive oil featured at La Madia! Any trip to Sicily would be remiss without a visit -- you won't regret it. We made a 4 hour detour to have this meal, spending the night in Licata while homebased in Pollina, and it was well, well worth it.

The pizza look alike appetizer, the shrimps made up with shrimp meat phillo dough, the soup and cannolo were absolutely amazing.

Imagine the skill it takes for a smallish restaurant to suddenly be faced with 90 hungry, tired customers speaking a multitude of languages... and yet they acquitted themselves with distinction. Our table-mate really enjoyed the fried calamari plate. My wife and I shared a house salad (the artichoke hearts were a nice touch) and a Cuatro Gusti pizza - nicely topped with a light, thin crust - oozing with yummy goodness! The beer was cold, the tea was hot, the prices were very reasonable and we all got out of there on time. Bravo!
