Orti Villadorata

Orti Villadorata resides within the Country House Villadorata Resort, a late 19th-century rural estate in the hills of Val di Noto, Sicily. The surrounding 23-hectare organic farm features olive groves, almond orchards, citrus trees, and a small vineyard, providing the restaurant with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Chef Matteo Carnaghi leads a youthful, passionate team specializing in dishes prepared on an open-flame wood-burning thermo-cooker fueled by prunings from the estate, creating a sustainable circular energy system. The kitchen focuses on raw materials from small local producers who maintain authentic Sicilian culinary traditions. Orti Villadorata’s menu offers a curated single tasting experience designed to reduce waste while highlighting the connection between food, land, and culture. The wine list includes Sicilian sparkling, biodynamic, ancestral varieties, and D.O.C. Marsala, complemented by craft beers and locally inspired cocktails. Every ingredient and aroma immerses guests in the rich flavors and heritage of Sicily’s land.
