Ristorante Kamastra

$$ Piazza Municipio, 4, 87010, Civita
Italian European Mediterranean Casual Dining Family Style
In an atmosphere of an old inn of the past, you can appreciate today the ancient flavours of yesterday and today. The Kamastra restaurant was born in July 1995 from the happy intuition of Enzo Filardi, lawyer and composer, for the pleasure of Arbëresh (Italian-Albanian) ethnic music. The gastronomic proposal, closely linked to the territory and strictly faithful to the local natural resources, becomes the leitmotif for the rediscovery of the Arbëresh culinary traditions, according to a well-defined path which, over time, tends to combine the ancient flavours of the Calabrian land and the world peasant, with Balkan influences handed down through the preservation of the ethnic origins of the Country of the Eagles.

Ristorante Campisi

$$ Via Marzamemi, 12b, 96018, Marzamemi
Italian Mediterranean Casual Dining
A small fishing village just outside Pachino, in the province of Syracuse. Marzamemi is a vibrant historical place where art, culture and landscape interact. Each Campisi dish tells a story: that of Sicily, which with its flavours and traditions, has always accompanied gastronomic research and that of the restaurant, Campisi Conserve, which for several generations has been handcrafting the typical fish products of our land. But there's more! Each dish tells Sicily with new eyes, and each recipe revisits the tradition enriching it with perfumes, colours and nuances in a modern key because the kitchen evolves and changes, and we go with it! Elegant, stylish and welcoming: this characterizes the style of the Campisi restaurant. It was decided to tell the story of the place through the furnishings of the room, the minimalist design of the accessories and the linearity of linens and pottery so that every sense is satisfied at the table.

Italian European Mediterranean Premium Casual
In the heart of the old fishing village, in one of the most intimate and characteristic corners of Marzamemi, "Cortile Arabo, osteria di mare" finds its location. The sea is the main element that frames the courtyard; the ancient stones mix elegantly with the entrance wall's white and blue majolica tiles. Glimpses of the sea capture the attention of anyone passing through the courtyard; the air you breathe is steeped in saltiness, but also, in history, we are in one of the oldest tuna traps in Sicily. The essences of thyme, basil, sage and peppermint pervade the guests' senses with a menu designed to seduce the palate by enveloping it with simple flavours but with a substantial sensory impact. Fresh fish, Sicilian oil, aromas and freshly picked herbs from Osteria's private herbarium are interpreted by the mastery and creativity of chef Massimo Giaquinta for creating dishes that celebrate taste. The attachment to ancient culture is the starting point of the words formed, with a solid link to the way of cooking of the past and to raw materials.

Liccamuciula

$$ Piazza Regina Margherita, 2, 96018, Marzamemi
Italian Mediterranean Casual Dining
We are on a journey into Sicily, starting station: Marzamemi. Our story and the journey that has been exploring the Val di Noto for twenty years, touching charming cities and countryside, sailing between the Sicilian islands, begins in the tuna fishery of this fishing village. Marzamemi, Noto and Vendicari, Syracuse and Etna, the island of Currents, Burgio, Modica, Linosa. These are where the novel of Sicily flows: our kitchen, the cellar, and the products of our shop tell them. Liccamuciula is not a traditional restaurant where you order pasta with clams. Instead, it is the Sicilian cuisine of the past, with the pantry always complete, the vegetable garden in the back, and the market bags on the table. Home cooks and imaginative cooks with their heads in their books make almond biscuits and tomato chutney, the "ghetto" of tuna and the Sicilian cheesecake with cannoli and cannoli and pistachio.
