We woke up everyday thinking about food, planning where to eat and looking out for the best spots to taste Sicilian specialties! On one occasion, the staff at La Petrara Resort cooked for us all and we had a lovely menu which we washed down with tasty home-made white wine. This is what we ate:
Antipasto
Grilled Pancetta
Grilled Sicilian sausages
Fresh pasta with ragu
Another restaurant worth taking note of in Marzamemi is La Cialoma – www.lacialoma.it – menu is limited to the fresh dishes prepared daily by this family. From inside the restaurant you can see a spic and span kitchen where every dish is created with genuine ingredients, fresh herbs and high quality material. La Cialoma has a nice setting in the Piazza of Marzamemi which makes it a wonderful place for dinner, especially in Summer. We enjoyed the antipasto of marinated raw fish such as anchovies, prawns, cernia fillets and an original ricotta served with fresh sea urchin sauce.
Marinated mixed fish
Ricotta with sea urchin sauce
One can rightly conclude that our trip to Sicily was a gastronomic tour, more than anything! I believe that food is one of the best things in life… and I am lucky enough to be surrounded by family and friends who understand my passion… sharing with them the tastes and smells of good food makes the experience a most rewarding one!
