Food scene

Vico Domenico Morelli, 4, 97100 Ragusa RG Tucked away in old Ibla, this is our favorite home away from home kitchen. We held our Rehearsal dinner here with Arianna and 120 guests. She has a great wine list and its a marvelous walk down and through Ibla when we don't want to cook or want to meet or host visiting friends. Favorite dishes of ours- Antipasta della cassa, (w/caponata, fava etc) Formaggio alle Brace, Pasta alla Norma, Cavati Sugo di Maiale, Pasta con Pistacchio o Zucchini con Lardo, the Salssicia alle brace and any lamb dish she has (seasonal)
