Osteria dei sapori perduti

The menu is genuine local Sicilian cuisine. All the dishes we had were delightful. This restaurant is very popular, and booking is essential. The staff were busy, but we got looked after well. We had a selection of dishes, veal rabbit, ravioli, and eggplant pasta. Salads sides and desert were all good. We had the house red wine, beer and water. The bill came to 69.50eur which we thought was great value.

I don’t know if I would recommend this restaurant, but my friends and I only came here because it was a suggestion that our local gave us while staying at her place. They do have an amazing selection of pastas and meat dishes (they give you a picture book to accompany their menu) that looked really delicious, but overall their service was just not up to par. Our pasta dish (we all ordered the ‘I cavatieddi dishes; mines was the ‘I cavatieddi ‘mpastizzati with broccoli, ricotta cheese cream sauce & grounded sausage) came out very fast, but one of my friends did not get the meat dish we ordered, and our waitress did not ask us if we wanted dessert or anything else. I don’t know if I may be reading into the Sicilian culture wrong that they do not approach you if you need anything else (please let me know if I am!) but the fact that they forgot one dish we were waiting a while for turned us off.
However, this place seems popular among the locals and visitors. It has a nice outdoor ambiance. Seating fee is 1.9 euros, and when you’re done you have to go inside the restaurant to pay.

Im schmucken Barockstädtchen Modica findet sich in der Stadtmitte der Unterstadt dieses nette und hervorragende Lokal, in dem Spezialitäten der Gegend aufgetischt werden. Die Küche Modicas ist eine ausgeprägt bodenständige bäuerliche Küche. Und als solche ist sie sehr lecker. Die Speisekarte ist auf sizilianisch, so dass mit dieser selbst mit dem Italienischen vertraute damit ihre Probleme haben könnte. Doch obwohl dieses Lokal kein ausgesprochenes Touristenlokal ist, gibt es hier ein nett gemachtes Heft mit Bilder und Erläuterungen der Gerichte in mehreren Sprachen. Die Portionen sind groß und mächtig. Alles frisch, mit besten Zutaten und lecker. Ein wirklich guter Tipp, den wir von unserem Gastgeber in Modica bekamen.
