chef Viviana Varese
chooses Sicily "
Among the hills of the Val di Noto, halfway between the city with its churches, noble palaces and the countryside, is Country House Villadorata, within an estate that extends for 25 hectares, surrounded by olive groves, almond groves , citrus groves and a small vineyard. All the cultivations on the Villadorata estate follow the biodynamic method, which does not involve the use of pesticides and fertilizers, and considers the earth as a great organism to be protected and its fertility to be optimized for.

Respect for ingredients, sustainability, enhancement of a territory and its biodiversity, are the principles of this gastronomic experience together with the joy of “RISTORARE”.
In the restaurant menu, local products are the protagonists, in addition to vegetables, tomatoes and aromatic herbs, also ancient grain flours such as timilia and majorca, oil, citrus fruits; unique dishes prepared through smoking, fire and oven, characteristic of Viviana Varese’s cuisine and which tell of her roots.
The attention to the land starts from the use of the recovery of pruning of citrus, olive trees, almond trees as wood for the fire and for the new open kitchen of the restaurant, both inside, with the new room overlooking the surrounding countryside, and the outside.
