Hala says

Marco Baglieri's Michelin-starred Noto Alta restaurant: modern Sicilian cooking with a German pastry-school accent, in a glass-walled cellar room across from the Crocifisso church.

Marco grew up in Germany, returned to Noto, and brought a precision to Sicilian cooking that you don't often find in the south. Two tasting menus (one fish, one meat), each six or seven courses, plus à la carte. The artichoke-and-anchovy starter and the braised-onion tortello with rabbit ragù are the dishes you'll think about a week later. The glass cellar wall lets you watch the somm pull bottles. Marco's mother runs Dammuso, the family trattoria two blocks away, which is the casual version. Open for dinner every day except Wednesdays; book three weeks ahead for dinner in season.
