Noto: what a beauty
Noto (Sicilian: Notu; Latin: Netum) is a city in the Province of Syracuse, Sicily, Italy. It is 32 kilometres (20 mi) southwest of the city of Syracuse at the foot of the Iblean Mountains. It lends its name to the surrounding area Val di Noto. In 2002 Noto and its church were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Noto, Luca and the cars…. 
Like Summa, a number of Italian mainlander transplants aren’t just spending summers in Sicily, they’re taking up residence here, lured by nostalgia for some back-to-the-land Italian ideal. As a result, a handful of charming restaurants have cropped up to serve a refined crowd.
Gelato
In the town center, a visit to the outwardly unassuming 124-year-old Caffè Sicilia, whose fourth-generation co-owner, Corrado Assenza, serves almond-milk granita and cappuccino ghiacciato (iced coffee with almond milk granita), is a must. The Ferran Adrià of pastry, Assenza is constantly evolving his confections, which might include hazelnut sponge cake with pumpkin puree or peach marmalade with a dusting of dark chocolate. Dessert, like the town’s architectural mix and local dialect, defies easy cultural classification, reflecting the French, Greek, Roman, Arab, and North African influences that distinguish Sicily from the rest of Italy. Our server directed us toward a lesser-known specialty: fresh buffalo mozzarella “broken open with your hands, never with a fork,” and topped with citrusy bergamot jam.
