Sicilia - Modica

We stopped by for a cappuccino and low and behold discovered THE best canolli anywhere. Bruno and his wife were such great hosts love this place!

It's always great fun to sit outside a Sicilian bar in the morning and watch the people go by. I particularly mean the kind of place that's frequented by local people. Bar Sicilia has that neighborhood kind of feel even though it's on the main drag in the city. I had the Sicilian breakfast of champions there granita on a brioche. The lady behind the counter pleasantly fussed over me because I wanted to sit outside even though it had recently rained. She made sure my spot was dry. When I returned another morning for coffee and a cornetto, she remembered me and asked about my travel plans, while remaining uncritical of my imperfect Italian. This is the kind of friendly place I'd be frequenting if I lived nearby.

The marvelous couple who run Bar Sicilia are warm, jovial and generous. Really picked up our day. Try their caffe granita (or whatever flavor tickles your fancy). The local beers are a nice surprise if you want a break from wine. Appears that Trip Advisor list them as a restaurant. We just stopped for a break from the sun. Small place, but maybe they serve the shaded tables outside.

Granita ai gelsi superlativa. Peccato che l'ultima volta che l'ho presa stava iniziando ad andare a male e non mi abbiano consigliato di optare per un altro gusto!

La gentilezza e la cortesia del personale fanno da padrone in questo locale... Buonissimi i cannoli...
