Some places to remember and recommend in Sicily.
- Modica: La Locanda del Colonnello for finocchettio selvatico & anchovy spaghetti
- Noto: Trattoria del Crocifisso for modern yet restrained renditions of the classics
- Ragusa: Duomo for higher end dining but the chef's urge to overwork his dishes leaves you craving for simple trattoria fare; a Rusticana was a hole in the wall and I had my doubts given the look of the place, but the vegetable antipasti was my favorite of the trip.
- Marina de Ragusa: Trattoria Carmelo was probably my favorite of the trip with its simple, beach-side location serving simple seafood platters, a memorable spaghetti ai ricci and some chili, Michelle's spaghetti vongole with bits of anchovy, and crudo di mare including the pairing of swordfish and mint, fresh anchovies and oregano, a wonderful caponata pescatore.
- Marzamemi: La Cialoma was probably my second favorite trattoria of the trip in this little tuna canning town that has become a hipster destination for Siracusans; the mussel pesto was particularly memorable, prepared meticulously by the ginger-haired and tattooed young lady chef.
