Best restaurant gems in Sicily??

[upstatefoodie]

We will be traveling to Sicily at the end of May. Can anyone comment on (update) two previously recommended restaurants: La Madia in Licata and Il Duomo in Ragusa Ibla. Any help or other suggestions would be much appreciated.

Il rei Di gregenti in agrigento. Food was excellent with a great view of illuminated temples at night. Excellent risotto with shrimp and lime.

My information might be off because I've visited about 5 years ago. However, I absolutely loved Sicily in May. We've rented a convertible (which I fully recommend, as you tend not to hurry and enjoy yourself more) and have spent the days driving rough the middle of the island or on the balcony of our hotel.

The two culinary highlights were worth every penny and I still recollect them fondly. They were the Casa Grugno in Taormina and the Locanda San Serafino in Ragusa. I would come back in a heartbeat (thinking of which, good idea for autumn) :-)

I see you've had no answers yet.... Could you tell us what places in Sicily you plan to stay at or visit?

We will be staying in Agrigento and Taormina. We will have a car so we don't mind driving out of town. Thanks for your interest.

I've not been to Taormina (yet!), but I did have a lovely lunch in Agrigento at this place ----- Trattoria dei Templi. I am not as serious a foodie as some on this board so I always hesitate to recommend, but I have more or less eaten my way through lots of parts of Italy. The food and service were wonderful.

Good luck with your choices!
