We arrived in Licata by SAL (http://www.autolineesal.it/) bus from Agrigento. The journey took just over an hour. The bus station was basically a large parking lot, but there was a cafe across the road from it to get refreshments at.

Staying in Licata, Sicily:
We stayed in a studio apartment we'd rented from Casa Albergo Al Cortiletto (http://www.casealbergolicata.it/). The studio was a decent size, and had a mezzanine level with two extra beds. Super friendly staff, who collected us from the bus station (but did not drop us back).
Positive points:
1. Size of living/sleeping space
2. Location
3. Good internet speed (WiFi)
3. Staff, professional, and friendly
Negative Points:
1. Hot water, it only lasted for 15 seconds, hardly long enough to shower, very bad.
2. Small television
3. No heating (we visited in Winter)
Eating in Licata, Sicily:
Slim pickings, to say the least. A few places selling sandwiches and tepid pizza, and that was about it.
Drinking in Licata, Sicily:
There was no shortage of bars in Licata to stop at for a drink. Most of them had people sitting outside at tables, but no one seemed to have ordered a drink. Two places worth a mention. 1. Cafe Italia on Corso Umberto, and and Cafe San Angelo on Piazza San Angelo, which served decent complimentary snacks with our beer.
Summary:
Although the town of Licata was a pleasant place, the lack of decent food, or any food at all, spoilt our stay. The only supermarket for people with a car, was down at the port. Small shops selling food within the town where non-existent.
