The Top 17 Places to Eat Near Sitári
-
Rank 1. Sitári
Pizza
A pizzeria just outside Agrigento where the menu lists ten versions of margherita alone, which tells you where the priorities lie. The Sorce family runs a casual, friendly room and puts real thought into the dough, offering several styles including a black rice crust and a cereal breadcrumb version. Toppings are generous and considered. It moves a crowd efficiently without feeling like a conveyor belt.
-
A pizzeria and casual restaurant near the entrance of Agrigento, where the dough gets serious attention: rolled thin and even, built on long study rather than habit. The team makes some cheeses in-house and puts real work into the tomato sauce, so the fundamentals are doing the heavy lifting. It reads as a reliable stop for anyone moving through the Valley of the Temples corridor without time to gamble on somewhere untested.

Rank 4. Il Molo

Rank 5. Carusu
Sicilian
Tucked along the road through Agrigento's archaeological park, this intimate family-run restaurant spreads across two small rooms on different floors. The kitchen leans hard into vegetables, many grown on the family's own farm, folded into a personal take on Sicilian cooking. One brother cooks, another talks wine with real enthusiasm, and their father holds the door. It reads like a passion project, which the family name, loosely meaning "beloved," quietly confirms.
-
Rank 6. La Madia
Sicilian
Two small, minimalist dining rooms in a Licata side street are the setting for some of the most quietly confident Sicilian cooking around, backed by two Michelin stars. The chef's approach is unfussy: he lets the island's ingredients argue for themselves, from shellfish pasta to black Nebrodi suckling pig with Sunday gravy. The wine list leans Sicilian too, with serious bottles for the kind of people who notice.
-
Rank 7. That’s Amore
Sicilian Pizza
A pizzeria in the Agrigento hinterland where the dough itself is the project, offered in classic, steamed, fried, and gluten-free versions through long fermentations the chef takes seriously enough to make a point of. Local oils and Slow Food ingredients anchor the toppings, and the Cuddriruni nods to the regional tradition. The wine and beer list is well put together, and the service is the kind that doesn't make you feel like a table to be turned.

Rank 8. Zamù
Sicilian
-
Rank 9. Aquanova Hosteria
Sicilian
The dining room still has the old water wheel from when this building actually moved water, and it sets the tone for a restaurant that takes Sicilian tradition and quietly does something personal with it. The chef leans hard into vegetables from the kitchen garden and builds seasonal, creative menus that draw from both the island's coast and its interior. The wine cellar runs to over 1,700 labels, which is a lot for anywhere, let alone Canicattì.
-
Rank 10. Locanda Perbellini al Mare
Sicilian
A beach club restaurant on the Sicilian coast where the loungers and umbrellas are part of the deal, and in summer the windows fold back so the whole room becomes a terrace. The kitchen follows the lead of multi-starred chef Perbellini, reworking Sicilian flavors, seafood and otherwise, with a modern hand. The vegetarian dishes get the same serious attention as everything else, which is not always a given at the seaside.

Rank 14. Daniele Cacciuolo Pizzeria e Bistrot
Neapolitan Pizza
A pizzeria on Gela's seafront where the lighting is soft enough to make you feel the room was designed, not just furnished. The chef's Campanian roots anchor the menu, but the "Pizzas by Daniele" range roams through the ingredients of southern Italy in ways that go beyond the classic round. The dough gets serious attention, the olive oil selection is curated, and the service knows what it's talking about.
