Agriturismo Monte Criscione in Free municipal consortium of Syracuse

"Hospitality was incredible. We only went there for dinner but wish we had stayed. The food was delicious, the best we had in Sicily. Very homemade dishes and the antipasti selection was incredible. Would definitely recommend!"

"It's not easy to find the way to the restaurant. However, we were rewarded with a great, authentic meal that we enjoyed very much. The prices are fair and the antipasti in particular are super varied and delicious. An absolute recommendation. Go there!"

"Nice location but the food was a bit overpriced for what we had. Good appetisers, good wine and dessert. Primo course very average."

"We had a very enjoyable 3-night stay at Monte Criscione. Clean room, very extensive breakfast (both sweet and savoury) and a lovely host who tailored everything to our needs. Big plus is the (delicious) dinner they serve, as the place is quite tucked away."

"Highly recommend this hillside restaurant in Avola. While driving there was slightly treacherous, the views, service, and food were well worth it. We arrived and sat on the beautiful patio overlooking the agriculture of Sicily. We were not given a menu but offered an antipasto (arguably our favorite of our 10 day trip) then a pasta, meat, and dessert option. Everything was absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend this restaurant to all visiting Avola."

"The owner’s passion for good food is evident in every dish he serves. It was one of the best meals I had in Sicily, it is truly exceptional."

"The location was tranquil set among the citrus groves in the hills above Avola. Nothing was too much trouble for Alessandro to make our stay comfortable. Service was personal and very attentive. The delicios home cooked Sicilian dishes were prepared by Alessandro's parents. The antipasti were superb with a changing menu on each of the 3 nights we stayed. All at a reasonable price including a half liter of the excellent local wine between the two of us. Breakfast was generous and Alessandro made sure he knew what we would like. We were lucky to have stayed at the time of the citrus harvest. The oranges from the farms own orchard were freshly picked and were the best I have ever tasted. Similarly the ripe black olives from the farm's own trees were superb. Highly recommended."

"Their restaurant is a must try! The best home cooking I have ever tried. Fresh ingredients, delicious plates and great service. We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and everything was perfect."
