Up in Noto Alta, this dimly lit, Slow Food–acclaimed restaurant with an extensive wine list is widely regarded as Noto's best. While much of the menu is well balanced and pleasing (the seafood options are especially strong), some dishes underwhelm. The same goes for the service, which, though well meaning, can be unforgivably inattentive given the price tag. Book ahead.
