2 Best Restaurants in Central Sicily and the Mediterranean Coast, Sicily

One of the most famous restaurants in Sicily—and one of only two on the island to have been awarded a second Michelin star—La Madia is a must-visit when you're here. Chef Pino Cuttaio is a legend within Sicily and beyond thanks to his incredible talent for creating unique dishes that fuse tradition and innovation, without ever losing sight of the kind of simplicity that allows the brilliance and flavors of first-rate Sicilian produce to shine. There are three tasting menus, inspired by the che's vision. Advance reservations are required.

Offering an upscale culinary journey in Caltanisetta, this restaurant's tasting menus offer modern takes on such popular Sicilian ingredients as tuna, eggplant, and squash, with delicate presentations often topped with truffles or caviar. This is not a fast experience, so set aside several hours and plan to relax and take in the gastronomic experience from classically trained chef Ester Giacchetto.
