GAMBERO ROSSO REVIEW 2011

Modica – Il Caffé dell’Arte suggested on “Gambero Rosso”, which presents the 1650 classic and innovative Italian restaurants in the 2011 edition. The Caffé dell’Arte of Corso Umberto is indicated as a concentrate of taste and refinement, “managed with passion and commitment by the Iacono family. Today, alongside Ignazio, there are the sons Daniele and Aurelio who welcome customers with courtesy and enthusiasm “. The counter is not huge but that is enough to understand that here the pastry is not a decorative element. Arte’s coffee has confirmed the quality standard having obtained two cups and two grains, such as local and excellent coffee. “All the desserts – says Gambero Rosso – in the traditional repertoire are tastefully prepared and executed to perfection, starting with the ‘mpanatiglie, the cannoli, the cassatine and the delights based on almond parsta until the ice cream (proposed also in the mignon version) and the granita: fragrant mixtures, well-balanced sweetness and balanced flavors. And then the chocolate of modica, of course, produced here following the ancient traditions. You will find it in many versions. Do not miss the news of this year, the one with pistachios and the citrus fruit of Sicily “.

Modica – It has been unto the breach for forty years. The bar is a hotspot, situated in the historic centre, decorated in Liberty Stile.

There is also a wide range of ice creams and granite [blackberry should be tasted]. Sesame, almond and honey nougat, cedrata, figs and candied dates, are excellent. Impeccable service and kindness.
