Caffè Sicilia
Caffè Sicilia, around the corner from Corrado Costanzo and vying with it for title of world's best gelaterie (ice-cream shop), has been operating since 1892, and excels in the art of the granita (a drink made of crushed ice with fruit juice). Depending on the season, try the fragolini (tiny wild strawberries) or gelsi (mulberry) flavours, or go for the classic caffè (coffee) or mandorla (almond).

Corrado Costanzo
The famous Corrado Costanzo is claimed locally to be one of the two best gelaterie (ice-cream shops) in the world (the other one is around the corner!) It does the best ice cream; indulge in at least a lick of the pistachio, a bite of the chocolate, or a chomp of the amaro flavour.

Il Barocco
Another brilliant place to eat in Noto, tucked into a converted stable block of the Palazzo Astuto-Barresi. The eccentric character of the owner and chef is everywhere - from the graffitied walls (signatures from appreciative clientele) to the spaghetti with limpets.
-
Ristorante Neas
You'll find a high standard of both food and service at this place, which opens up its terrace in summer. Try the linguine allo scoglio (with mixed seafood), or the legendary fish soup.
-
Trattoria Al Buco
This bustling, popular place is a good cheap option in Noto, and locals like it too. There are several vegetarian options and the fish is fresh and delicious.

Trattoria del Crocifisso
The best restaurant in Noto (and for miles around), this Slow Food-selected trattoria serves such good food that you'll immediately forgive the slightly stroppy service. Try the linguine with vongole (clams) and tuna steak in an orange, cinnamon and sesame sauce or tuna in a pistachio and sesame sauce - both are equally exquisite. A dessert must is the pistachio semifreddo (ice-cream cake), creamy and encrusted by gem-green pistachio pieces.
