(Fellow Italian here, Ciao) That is fair enough, but I would hope not everywhere in Noto you will get similar prices to conclude prices are generally a lot higher than it past. I am not saying prices aren’t higher, as inflation and energy prices have driven prices high everywhere (personally I was surprised by prices in Atlanta GA-USA last month, very close to prices in Miami Beach for instance, not the case in previous visits) but I actually found prices in Catania, Taormina, Syracuse (and towns in between) quite affordable last September (2022) when I was there.
