Locanda Don Serafino

Ragusa


Powerhouse chef Vincenzo Candiano steers this softly lit, Michelin-starred darling, evocatively set in a series of rocky caves. Reserve a linen-draped table and settle in for top-shelf local produce and out-of-the-box creations like raw-scallop millefeuille with green tomato and fennel, almond milk, caviar and plankton or pumpkin gnocchi with pumpkin cream, hemp oil, lamb meatballs and foraged local vegetables. Book ahead.
