Licata is a port town in southern Sicily near Agrigento that doesn’t have much going for it except for the fact that Pino Cuttaia was born here and opened up a restaurant, La Madia. On a Monday night in April the restaurant was full, and I am pretty sure that most of those people came to Licata just to eat... More

Very discreet, unassuming restaurant in a very strange town. Greeted very warmly. Very little English spoken by entire staff. Food presented and tasted very good with a flair and passionate imagination. You can choose various set suggestive menu's and enlist the assistance of the Chef's wife to choose accompanying wines - what a life saver! We chose Black & White... More

Fantastic food, friendly service, the chef advised us and we willingly accepted his recommendations. A jewel

Late on a Saturday is fine, no worries of being towed or ticketed. The door is locked and you need to... More

OK it takes forever to get there and it's very easy to miss the front door but once inside what a treat. The courses were creative and exceptionally flavorful. The presentation artistic and lovely. One course better than another and the filet was the best beef I have ever had. The waiter was very helpful though he spoke very little... More

Firstly what a strange town. We drove in and the town had so much rubbish lying everywhere in bin bags and overflowing skips.There were so many men sitting around, few woman and a strange atmosphere. We got to the restaurant and the door was locked- you have to ring the door bell and they then unlock the door, let you... More
