At Liolà, the colourful dining room celebrates and showcases local artisanal crafts, and an outdoor terrace that looks out over the Sicilian coastline. The menu reveals all manner of traditional trattoria-style dishes, from caponata made with locally-grown ingredients to crispy, yielding arancini and wood-fired pizza with tomatoes, breadcrumbs, pecorino cheese, salami and basil.

Finally at Zagara, named for the fragrant orange blossom that scents the estate, the menu revels in the flavours and ingredients of the Mediterranean, from the local catch of the day, served with homegrown braised fennel and citrus, to "Spaghettoni" with shrimp from Sciacca, zucchini leaves, and lemon. With a glamorous dining room and an atmospheric outdoor terrace that offers views out towards the sea, Zagara combines elegant design and the natural beauty of Verdura to stunning effect.
