Hidden in the charming baroque neighborhood of Ragusa Ibla in Sicily you will find the Duomo restaurant. Ragusa Ibla is built on a wide limestone hill between two valleys and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. The ancient city, located on a 300-meter-high hill, has Greek, Byzantine, Roman and Arab influences.

The authentic Ragusa Ibla is home to a wide range of baroque architecture, including several stunning palaces and churches. Just behind the neoclassical dome, built in 1820, you will find the palace of chef Ciccio Sultano, the Duomo restaurant. This magnificent gourmet paradise wins the approval of the senses with cuisine based on thousands of years of Sicilian culture and tradition.

The restaurant is located on the lower floor of the historic Palazzo La Rocca, where some scenes of the famous 1961 movie “An Italian Divorce” directed by Pietro Germi were filmed. Classical colorful interior is decorated with elegant silk wallpapers and modern works of art. The restaurant has several separate rooms that enhance the personal experience.

The restaurant is the greatest manifestation of Ciccio Sultano’s vocation. The chef’s trademark is a personal interpretation of Sicilian cuisine with a slight modern touch. The chef tells the story of his region through his cuisine. The choice of ingredients should be excellent to tell guests about the country where the products come from. The service at the Duomo, led by the lady of the house Gabriella Cicero, is impeccable and extremely professional.

Mediterranean fish and shellfish are very important to the chef. On the plate, his culinary philosophy is embodied in honest and clean dishes. The chef successfully combines great food with a story, such as homemade spaghettone with pesto, salsa made from carrot sauce, almonds, sea bass carpaccio and taratata sauce. Another highlight on Chef Ciccio’s menu is the country chicken from his own farm. The breast is stuffed with corn to remember what the chicken eats, and the thighs are glazed with soy sauce and served with a cracker with crispy rice in the style of Ragusa with truffles.

The chef and his team offer guests an interesting take on local cuisine, combining beautiful produce with a modern twist. The menu is designed to make you feel the flavors of Sicily with a touch of inspiration and appetizing combinations. Duomo Restaurant offers a great dining experience in the historic Ragusa Ibla neighborhood.
