Risìu — Restaurant in Ragusa

We were recommended this restaurant by the hosts at our accommodation in Ragusa. All we knew going in was that the ingredients were sourced from local producers. We decided to give it a try — and what an unforgettable experience it turned out to be.

We ordered the largest tasting platter on the menu. When we asked for two of them, the staff kindly suggested that one would be more than enough. To our surprise (and delight), they were absolutely right. The portion was generous, perfectly satisfying for two people.

But what truly left us speechless were the flavors — divine from the very first bite to the last. Every single element on the platter was bursting with authenticity and depth. The wine recommended to pair with it was heavenly — a perfect match that elevated the entire meal.

The service was just as memorable. The staff made us feel genuinely at home, as if we were being taken care of by our own family. It was one of those rare moments where hospitality meets heart.

This was a standout culinary experience, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone. We’ll definitely return — even if it means traveling thousands of kilometers to do so.

Thank you for an unforgettable evening and your exceptional...

Risiu Restaurant truly impressed me with its warm and welcoming staff who made the dining experience enjoyable.

The restaurant's ability to deliver on both savory and sweet fronts further enhances its appeal, making it a must-visit for those seeking a well-rounded...

Very friendly and attentive staff, but the food was even better! They make their own local cheese, which, as hard as it may be to believe, is even better than Mozarella de Buffalo! The Caprese was top- notch with generous servings of the aforementioned masterpiece cheese and very fresh tomatoes. My wife and I had two different glasses of Sicilian Wine (Nero d' Avola and another by the same vineyard), along with some fantastic local bread style made on premises with a Sicilian extra Virginia olive oil. We sat at the bar seats with a direct view of the 12th century St George's gate. Sadly, I only took a photo of our view, not of the food, which was the real highlight. 6 stars overall, but this app...
