Family osteria on Corso Umberto in Modica, in a former palace: home-style Modican cooking, broad bean macco, ricotta ravioli with pork sauce and cannolo.

Home cooking on Modica's Corso
Osteria dei Sapori Perduti is on Corso Umberto I, Modica's main street, in a former noble palace. It is run by the Muriana family of Modica: Carmelo set up the place and filled it with collectables from rural Sicily, Stefania runs the kitchen, and today their children Federica, Oriana and Daniel look after the dining room. Its name, "the lost flavours", says what they are after: home-style Modican recipes that are no longer seen on every table. In 2012 it won the Ospitalità Italiana prize as best typical regional restaurant.
What to order
The menu is written in Modican dialect, with translations into Italian, English, French, German and Spanish, so you will not get lost. Start with the antipastu mistu, the house mixed starter to share: arancina, scaccia (the local filled pie), cow's ricotta, semi-cured caciocavallo, dry sausage, caponata, marinated olives, hard-boiled egg, fried courgette, bruschetta and grilled aubergine. It varies from day to day.
For a first course, the most Modican dish is maccu rì favi, a cream of dried Modica broad beans, peeled and cooked with wild fennel, which they also serve with fresh tagliolini. The ricotta and marjoram ravioli with pork sauce and fennel seeds are another classic on the menu; the cavatieddi 'mpastizzati come with broccoli, ricotta and crumbled sausage. There are lentil, chickpea and bean soups, and pasta in veal broth with little meatballs, though not always.
For a main course, Sicilian-style meats: rabbit a la stimpirata, with its sweet-and-sour vegetables, mixed grill, oven-baked pork belly, pork in sauce, tripe, braised beef. To finish, ricotta cannolo, a revisited Sicilian cassata or tiramisu.
The website does not publish prices. It is an osteria of simple dishes, somewhere between a trattoria and a home-cooking eatery.
