La Locanda del Colonnello, in the heart of the elegant Baroque in Modica Alta:
where the flavours of our Sicilian traditions meet the art of a young but already an excellent chef and his brigade (Accursio Crapraro)
It's the perfect place to relax , in one of its four rooms or in the lovely open courtyard of an XIX's century palace,testing authentic food in a friendly but elegant atmosphere.
Execellent the service.
The plate of the day was Macco di fave con polpo al profumo di finocchietto selvatico -
broad beans soup with octupus at the wild fennel flavour
other specialities:
scacce - local rolled stuffed pizza typical from Modica
coniglio a stimpirata - rabbit with vegetables in sweet and sour sauce
pasta con le sarde e mandorle - pasta with sardines and almonds
gelo di limone o di cannella - lemon or cinemon pudding
.......to begin with!
buon appetito !
A curiosity:
If you are wondering who is the Colonel?
After crossing the doorway, have a look at the portrait hang on the wall...
The mustaches, you find on the restaurant's sign, were His mustaches , and once He was the owner of the building.
Ciao Lucia, Thanks so much for bringing this place to my attention. I hadn't heard about it. Your lovely pictures make me want to head on over there. (How are the prices???)
