We have noticed that there aren't many Yelp reviews for restaurants here in Sicily. The menu had great choices and everyone loved their dishes. I ordered a grilled filet, just to have a break from pasta. It was cooked medium as I had asked and drizzled with a good quality olive oil. Along with French fries it was a perfect lunch dish. My hubby chose spaghetti with a tomato sauce and basil and it too was a perfect lunch for him. The service from Gabrielle was great and though she was a bit hurried, she still helped us out with all of our questions about the menu! Highly recommend.

Ai Lumi was open and they were happy to serve us. The food and drinks were decent--they got the job done decreasing the hangry meter.

As a Michelin 1 star restaurant in the heart of Modica, I was quite excited for dinner at Accursio…read more While not totally blown away - mainly from the price of the menu and wine pairing as compared to its other counterpart Michelin peers on the island, Accursio is still a solid choice to try the best of the region. The interior really has not changed much at all in many years and not sure the dishes have themselves. Although of high quality and very good, I was just not blown away. Service and staff were all kind, knowledgeable, and helpful during my dining experience. There was zero language barrier and all smiles. I am grateful for the dining opportunity there but if given the choice between their peers I might choose another one or just opt for trying a lunch service and not dinner.

This is tough. How could a Michelin starred restaurant not get 5 stars? The biggest reason I…read moresuppose is there where no epiphanies. The other reason is one course out of eight was pomodora. In my opinion each course in a Michelin restuarant should stand on it's own. This course was the least inspired pasta I had in a week of Sicily. The evening was great and everyone was very professional. I feel eight courses filled both of us well. The wine was paired well. We did have to shut the wine down I think after 5 or 6 courses. The lovely young bride was rapidly descending pasted buzzed. Would I go again? Probably not. These kind of restaurants are experience based and I am in search of a food epiphany and I didn't get it here.

We sampled a wide variety of dishes including the mixed salad, grilled vegetables, ragu Bolognese, cacio e pepe, rigatoni with pesto, veal Pizzaioa, pistachio encrusted chicken, grilled sausage and potatoes. The consensus favorite was the mozzarella with cherry tomatoes- the quality of ingredients shone. A moderately priced restaurant that punches above it's weight!

And while it is certainly popular with the very large patio packed on a Monday night, for me the food and flavors were just meh. While prices were very reasonable, the quality and flavor of the food just didn't compare to other places we've dined on our week in Sicily. Again it was super popular with people who all seemed to be enjoying themselves so maybe it's just me or our menu choices but the pastas seemed very food-service, the bread was dense and flavorless and the entrees rather ordinary. This spots not for me.

For the main we paired the daily special pasta with swordfish, eggplant , tomatoes and a blend of cheeses. Cooked to perfection!
