La Madia
Licata, Italy

La Madia makes Licata a worthwhile stop for travellers interested in contemporary Sicilian cooking. Pino Cuttaia builds dishes around the character of individual ingredients and the memories they evoke, giving the meal a personal connection to the island. Two pared-back dining rooms keep attention on the food and service, while the wine selection offers another route into Sicily. Plan a dedicated visit with transport arranged, and allow enough time for the kitchen’s sequence rather than fitting dinner between long drives.
