Casa Diodoros

16 Best Restaurants in Sicily for Mount Etna Sunsets, Local Wine, and Next-Level Street Food | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set just below Agrigento’s Temple of Concordia in the UNESCO-listed Valley of the Temples, this gently renovated farm turned family-run restaurant and cooking school wraps around a pretty cobbled courtyard only a few feet from a beautifully preserved Roman temple. Behind the warmly lit barn-like dining room—lined with chicken-wire cabinets displaying the area’s history—and its flavor-packed, home-cooked classics like bean stews, traditional pasta, moreish baked ricotta, and pumpkin focaccia with a warm, pillowy center lies a strong sustainable mission to boost organic production of the park’s native bounty: pistachios, almonds, saffron, ancient grains, olives, and traditional fruits. You can deepen your sense of the project by booking tasting sessions and cooking workshops, including a four-hour baking class with Casa Diodoros’s pizza chef to master traditional Sicilian breads and pizzas topped with seasonal ingredients from the park’s own larder." - Rosalyn Wikeley
