Ristorante Le Muse — Restaurant in Noto

We visited the restaurant during our holiday and - unfortunately - made some unpleasant experience with the service. We asked whether it would be possible to order the starters first and continue with the order later and were told that this would not be possible as the restaurant would be fully booked. However, the restaurant remained empty and we remained the only guests on that evening until we left. Also, we were told in a rather unfriendly way that it would not be possible to add tomatoes and/or mozzarella to the pasta (being in Italy!) and that it would only be possible to order what's on the menue. Being the only guests on that evening, it would have been very easy to at least offer to ask the cook whether some tomatoes could be added... (again: tomatoes, nothing special or exclusive). Further, the service wanted to take away our antipasti even though there was still cheese on the plate and we were still eating. All summed up, we definitely would have expected a more friendly and welcoming service and flexibility in view of the restaurant's price category (we left more than 100 Euros for two) and the fact that we were the only guests on that evening.

This is a restaurant to detour for! Set on a terrace overlooking the whole area (the nature reserve of Vendicari) sun sets while you enjoy an original and amazingly flavoured cocktail, while the moon rises as you settle into the incredible and original dishes. Taking Sicilian flavours and incorporating them in new and delicious ways- Rosso di Sera handmade spaghetti infused with sword fish and accompanied with delicate wild fennel and aubergine compote; paccheri with mussels subtly infused with the richness of a local cheese. Accompanying wine locally sourced and perfect rich flavours. Wonderful staff guiding you through the choices, warm and friendly to complete the enjoyment of the evening. Thank you for making us so welcome and for treating us with this...

Wow. And more. What an incredibly delightful experience! After we canceled our initial reservation, we were graciously accommodated anyway with our six children and the most naturally kind and thoughtful staff we have encountered anywhere. The food was amazing—creative, local, and delicious with flavor combinations that were both unexpected and tantalizing. The prices were very reasonable and Sebastiano, our server, was absolutely wonderful. The grounds were breathtakingly beautiful and so very well-maintained. We cannot wait to return to this peaceful, heavenly, charming retreat. Most highly...
