This is the chocolate shop in Modica you need to go to. The others are just background noise! If…read moreyou want some real artisan chocolate goods, then come to this cozy alleyway that serves heaven. I like how it's a little museum, the staff is very nice, and you can see into the back kitchen where the magic happens. Among the many unique chocolate products, you can also get chocolate beer/liquor and yummy cannoli. Don't skip out on the chocolate bar made with donkey milk, chocolate with chili, and vanilla one!

They make the shells fresh, they fill the shells while you wait, etc - it's pretty much exactly what cannoli should be. And yes, if you're from the USA, you probably have no idea what cannoli *could* be Oh yes, this is also an excellent place to try out quite a variety of Modica chocolate (and go to the nearby chocolate museum to see the origins of this throwback to old-school chocolate!)

We were here for lunch in 2016 and loved it. We returned for dinner in September 2022 and had the…read moreworst meal we've had in Sicily. The pumpkin sage ravioli were over saged to the point of inedibility. There is no way that whoever cooked this tasted what they were producing. The pomodoro insalata was a bowl of mediocre cherry tomatoes in a dish. No olive oil or seasonings whatsoever. The Sicilian swordfish was way overcooked and dry. The best items were the bottled water and the frozen French fries. Most of the food was cleared by the bussing staff without comment. No wait staff came by at all to ask how things were. I'm sure they are well aware of the low quality of the food served but no one cares because the clientele are tourists who won't be back. Robert Irvine really needs to do an episode of his show about this place. Run, don't walk, anywhere else.

We started with one and eventually, we all ended up ordering one. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the service was excellent.

Too bad they do not have fresh fish and seafood, just some frozen items. But there's a fishmonger who drives around town daily. But if you need some basic groceries like fruit, veggies, pasta, water, soda, beer and wine, then this place is fine enough. And for our stay that's just all we needed. Staff is very friendly and helpful and prices are - given it's a chain - very fair as usual for Conad.

Great cannoli's and the coffee is great. Just stand and drink it or take it to go 5 eurosread more

After driving for almost an hour we wanted to to have a little something so we stopped but this caffe located in a piazza. I thought it was funny that they had a oil painting of Dustin Hoffman inside-maybe because he was in an Italian coffee commercial? We ordered some hot chocolate for the kids and we had a glass of wine. We sat outside and enjoyed a spectacular view. Wish I lived here! If you're in Noto come here it's a lovely setting with nice service.

This is the spot you have to go to where you will have no regrets. You can get anything from amazing coffee, granita (Italian ice) served with their homemade brioche buns, ice cream cakes, regular cakes, gelato, pastries, cocktails, the list goes on and on. They have indoor and outdoor seating that is plenty for all to come. Everyone is very friendly. I was lucky enough to go on a behind the scenes tour of the bakery. They homemake everything literally everything except the ceramic plates they serve it on. When in Modica stop by and have a treat. Great shopping is nearby just down the street.

Most people have never been to Modica but I am lucky that most of my family is from here. It is so…read morenice to go back and visit. One place that is a must on your trip is Liola for a espresso, granita or some incredible Gelato (that's ice cream to you Americans)! Liola is a family run business and they are all hard workers. The owner Georgette makes all of the gelato's fresh every day...you will usually find her in the back making tiny gelato cones or amazing ice cream cakes. The tiny gelato cones are very popular and people buy them by the pound. The bad part is that once you start eating them you can not stop. Why can't our ice cream in America taste like this? I think I could live here on gelato alone. And if you are reading this there is a good chance you only speak English...so do not be shy when visiting here because Georgetta speaks great English and would love to have a conversation and show you her kitchen. I loved the tour...it was great getting to see how the gelato cakes were made. My favorite gelato that I had and I sampled most of them was the pistachio. I almost did not get it because it was green but then said, "You only live once!" Wow was I hooked. In fact, it was my favorite flavor and I could have eaten it every day. My second favorite flavor gelato was the Baci, which is chocolate and hazelnut. In past trips, Baci use to by my number one, until my summer trip to Sicily this year. Sorry Baci!!! The espresso is also amazing here to...one of the best I have ever had in Europe. There is also beer here too but I could not mix it with gelato and espresso. I also recommend you try the granita. It is like an Italian Ice but you can actually eat with out needing a shovel. When I was a kid there was one flavor...espresso and then eventually came a second flavor called lemon. I had no idea that there were advances in granita over the past few years...there was strawberry (which I loved) and many other flavors to choose from. So if you find yourself traveling through Modica, then make sure you stop by here and have a nice treat...you deserve it...your on vacation right!!!
