The place
La Vecchia Fontana brings together trattoria, pizzeria and caseificio in Avola, a short distance from the Riserva Naturale di Cavagrande del Cassibile (Cavagrande del Cassibile Nature Reserve). Sicilian cuisine declines its repertoire of sea and land with spaghetti allo scoglio and traditional local meat dishes. The wood-fired oven brings the pizzeria to life, while the in-house caseificio produces ricotta, cheeses, mozzarelle and provole ragusane available for tasting and direct sale. The family management ensures warm hospitality and a genuine atmosphere.
At the table
La Vecchia Fontana was born as a traditional Sicilian trattoria that combines dining with cheesemaking. The family management oversees kitchen, oven and workshop with the same care.
