Carretera Caffè – A Sicilian Morning Ritual Since 1973

Nestled in the heart of Modica, Sicily, Carretera Caffè was born from the dream of a single man in 1973—a dream to craft a richer, more soulful morning for Italy. From a quaint stone corner where the scent of roasted beans filled the air, this artisanal coffee corner became a local landmark, awakening the town each day with timeless aroma and warmth.

Every detail at Carretera Caffè tells a story: vintage espresso machines hum with history, marble counters echo old-world charm, and hand-painted tiles reflect Sicilian artistry. This is not just a coffee stop—it’s a ritual, a heritage preserved in every cup.

Crafted with passion, served with elegance, and inspired by generations, Carretera Caffè brings you the essence of Italian mornings—fancy, authentic, and forever vintage.
