So says Pino Cuttaia of La Madia restaurant in Licata! There are only 2 Michelin starred restaurants in Sicily and his is one. Being close by in Agrigento we had to make a pilgrimage there.......... being...well... curious!!
After negotiating many narrow streets, shortest route possible being taken by GPS we finally arrived and were able to park directly outside an very uninteresting building!
The door was locked and we had to ring a bell for entry. We followed the maitre d' along a narrow passageway and ended in a pleasant dining room.
We then found that we were the only people there for lunch! Everyone else was at the beach! Lunch was definitely an experience! The chef himself advised... and when we couldn't seem to make up our minds he offered to have us share certain dishes. Food was as promised... excellent. However as a word of caution to anyone going there.... he does not have a lunch menu ( something we have gotten used to in France!) and makes no concession in price, which was very very high! The excellent wine we had there helped us endure the pain!!!
