Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Where to begin? This is my third time at Osteria Migliore. The first two times were at the old location, and this third visit was a pleasant surprise, the new space is even more beautiful than the previous one. It’s one of those restaurants that makes me want to come back every time I return home to Sicily. In its simplicity, the food stays rooted in Sicilian tradition while still feeling unique and modern. I enjoyed everything, but the risotto inspired by Number 8 left me speechless. The price was more than reasonable, maybe even too low for the incredible food we had. I can’t wait to come back again."
"Great ambience, refined food and service. Definitely a must !"
"Dal momento in cui si varca l'ingresso del Ristorante Lorenzo Ruta si capisce subito che non si tratta di una cena ordinaria: la location è immersa nella campagna modicana, con ulivi, muri a secco e suggestione di territorio che fanno da scenografia. La sua cucina prende il meglio della tradizione siciliana e lo trasporta nel presente, giocando con le tecniche, i contrasti, la materia prima locale, il servizio è curato, discreto ma presente, la scelta dei vini comprende etichette regionali e internazionali “di nicchia”. In sintesi: se siete in Sicilia e volete regalarvi una cena che sappia di mare, di campagna, di tecnica e sentimento, allora il Ristorante Lorenzo Ruta è tappa obbligata."
"All this chef's dishes are delicious, most are inventive. From some dishes I could smell the incredible intense aroma of the herbs from a few meters distance. The restaurant is very nicely decorated, in a minimal way. The kitchen brigade works in utter silence. Service is fluent, friendly, warm and knowledgeable. The wines were super! I just noticed that our first bottle of wine this year was the same as last year, but now we had a bottle from 2017, last year it was 2020. I like Girolamo Russo very much, a most humble guy. Out of nowhere a boy (the chef's son) came to our table, offering a huge flower to my girlfriend, very cute! Last year after dinner I was too drunk to drive back to our apartment in Modica, so during dinner I arranged a hotel close by, with wide range check-in times. The sister (and mother) of the waitress drove us there, sister in my car and mom behind us in their car. An amazing service! So this year I arranged Cambiocavallo resort, on crawling distance, what a treat! We will come back again!"
"Best meal we had in last 2weeks in Sicily ! Very stylish restaurant, recently opened and full on a Tuesday evening! Food was sublime, we chose the 8 course tasting and we chose wines helped by the wonderful Valentina! This restaurant is a must for those wanting a really special meal!"
"Family run- Absolutely delicious- quantities are very well sized allowing for dessert space- definitely recommend a detour- I only gave 4 for atmosphere because as the restaurant has a lovely garden I thought dispersed candles would have been magical"
"Place just opened few days before my dinner. Excellent welcome and service and food was perfect."
"Food is delicious, original and well presented. The waitresses are kind and friendly. We all had a great time"
