Bisboccia Risto-bistrot & Arancin-corner — Restaurant in Modica

What an amazing restaurant tucked up a side street away from the main crowds. Super lovely welcome from our host and chef My wife mentioned it was our 6th anniversary when booking online and we arrived to find a red rose and personal card from the staff.

All of the dishes were tasty and for €25 each including a glass of local vino excellent value (all local produce- cheese, meats, pasta, ravioli and roasted swordfish was perfect ) The service was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. We have eaten in some top restaurants in Italy and I happily give 5 stars and will return as soon as possible Thank you again to the...

Overall, it was a pleasant meal, though the price-to-quality ratio and portion sizes felt a bit on the...

Good but not great. Mostly good ingredients and well cooked, but not memorable. Prices too high for quantity and simplicity of creations. A single octopus tentacle (cooked to perfection and gently seasoned) for 14 euros?! Prawns were bland and poorly executed. Everything else good but not great. Perhaps it was just the specific dishes that we ordered? Based on the reviews, we expected more. In part, it was difficult to control our expectations because their menu is not available online anywhere. One of the most expensive lunches during our 2 week stay in Modica, and we didn’t even have a second course. We had...
