The Food of Sicily

Caponata – this traditional and popular dish is a mix of delicious aubergines, pine nuts, tomatoes and capers best served a room temperature with warm bread.

Arancini – perhaps the most famous Sicilian snack.  Deep fried rice balls filled with meat, vegetables or cheese.

Pasta alla Norma – a wonderful mix of pasta with a tomato and aubergine sauce topped with salty ricotta.

Cannoli – these are the most well-known Sicilian sweets – crispy flaky pastry tubes filled with creamy and sweetened ricotta.

Sarde a beccafico – Freshly caught sardines stuffed with pine nuts, raisins and breadcrumbs and then baked.
