"The Cenobio of Ragusa Ibla offers a unique culinary experience, immersed in the historical and landscape context of the Iblei gardens. The first element that catches the eye is the structure of the restaurant itself: a historic building that is a pleasure for the eyes, enriched by an internal garden that gives a magical atmosphere to the place. Moving on to the cuisine, the dishes are a surprising reworking of traditional Sicilian classics, such as caponata, performed with taste and creativity. The flavour, aroma and presentation are impeccable and make each course a small journey into local flavor and culture. Not everything is perfect, though. The service, although extremely courteous, suffers due to the excessive number of tables, which makes the staff not very present during the meal. This is an aspect that needs improvement to elevate the overall experience. As for the price, it is slightly slanted upwards, and at first glance, it may not seem justified. However, with the discounts available through online booking, the value for money becomes much more balanced and acceptable. In conclusion, Il Cenobio offers a combination of high-quality ingredients, a lovely setting and friendly, if a little distant, service. It is a place worth visiting, especially if you manage to get a discount through online booking. Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5"

Beautiful setting in the gardens of ibleo, food was good and the serving as well. The desert, the one “of the fratti trappisti” was quite special. We went back for dinner a few times. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Pleasant experience, due to the suggestive and fascinating location. Dishes that are particularly structured and rich in flavors that blend together and do not highlight the ingredients should perhaps be lightened. I was hoping, in vain, to find a surprise on the menu that evokes tavern and simple flavours. Instead I found yet another menu built with the ambition of being gourmet. The bill was good Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: €30–40 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

A hidden gem in a peaceful setting. Hands down the best food we’ve had in Sicily by far Every single course was delicious. Creative Italian cuisine, high quality ingredients, generous portions, very well presented and accompanied by an extensive choice of Sicilian wines. The tartare and veal were some of the best we’ve ever tasted! The staff was very kind and even showed us around their beautiful gardens in the back of the hotel. Overall it’s been a fantastic experience that I would recommend with eyes closed. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

"Al Casale is fairly remote being about 15 kilometres inland from Marina di Ragusa but definitely worth seeking out if you are in area. As part of a group of 19 staying in the nearby Villa Zinna we had booked Al Casale for dinner. A fabulous courtyard setting under the olive trees for the most amazing meal. Starting at 20:30 we were treated to course after course of Sicilian cuisine for two and half hours. We lost count of the number of dishes but it must have been about 12 served over 8 courses. By half way through most of us were full and few managed to reach the end of the gastronomic tour of Sicily. Lots of veggie dishes and as well as lamb, pork and beef dishes, but no fish as is common in most Agritourismo restaurants that showcase farm produce. Unlimited decanters of local white and red wine and bottled water was provided throughout the meal. And the most amazing thing of all? The cost for everything was only €20 per person! Truly deserving of its five star rating from most reviewers. Top Tips Our two ‘ veggies’ and one celiac were fully catered for (pre-booking essential) with alternatives being offered to all meat dishes. Little English spoken by the family who run the restaurant so it was helpful that we had some Italian speakers in our party to help know what the dishes were. Pre-booking for large parties essential for large parties and probably for everyone else as well given food is specially prepared."
