Food scene

We have two larger restaurants within five minutes drive of the villa. In Ciminna, there are a number of pizzerias, pastry shops and bars where you can order snacks, coffee, pastries and gelati. We love the pizzeria/gelateria by the church square (Bar Pizzeria Frangipane)- their granita (especially cherry granita, if in season) is exceptional. They also offer lovely semifredo cakes (ice cream cakes) and small ice cream cones to freeze that are tasty.
Wonderful food - the pizza is fantastic, but try the full meal at least once. So many dishes! Open every day except Tuesday. The menu only has options for antipasti and pizzas (both which are exceptional) but you can ask for their “meat” or “fish” option if you want something more substantial. They will serve a 3-5 course meal for approximately 40 euro per head. Ordering a la carte is less expensive and will set you back 10-20 euro per head with alcohol. You can call ahead and order pizza for pickup also. We love “pizza rustica” which is a sausage and sundried tomato pizza. All pizza is Neopolitan style (which we all know is the best :))

This is about 90 minutes per way but a MUST. Valley of the Temples and Stairs of the Turks are two beautiful sites (Valley of the Temples is a UNESCO protected site) and historically significant. Agrigento has lovely cafes and the cafeteria on the Valley of the Temples site has delicious nosh (their panini and arancini are solid choices). Bring plenty of water in the summer and your camera for the breathtaking photos. The drive is through the middle of Sicily and is beautiful.
