⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An exceptional experience at Orti Villadorata – creativity, precision, and heartfelt hospitality
Our evening at Orti Villadorata was truly unforgettable. Chef Matteo Carnaghi offers a refined, contemporary cuisine that feels light and modern, yet remains deeply rooted in the fundamentals of traditional Sicilian cooking. His dishes highlight the finest local ingredients, especially the freshest regional fish and seasonal produce, treated with creativity and precision, always allowing the product to speak for itself.
Beyond the plate, it’s the soul of the place that makes it so special. Matteo’s humility, passion, and generosity are felt in every detail. We were also lucky enough to join one of his fresh pasta-making classes — a beautiful and memorable moment of sharing and authenticity.
The entire team is outstanding. We were welcomed with warmth and attention from start to finish. A heartfelt thank you to Simona for her kindness and gentle presence, and to Duel, the sommelier, whose deep knowledge and subtle pairings elevated each dish with great sensitivity. His selections were thoughtful, intelligent, and perfectly in tune with the spirit of the cuisine.
Orti Villadorata is one of those rare places where everything feels in harmony — a place that quietly reaches the level of the very best, and leaves you with the sense that you’ve experienced something truly special.
