The restaurant serves Sicilian haute cuisine, which stands out from the food you’ll find on the Italian mainland through its nuances: Agrodolce, a sweet and sour taste, characterises many Sicilian dishes. The different cultural influences, which have also significantly influenced the island’s culinary history, have embedded ingredients such as cinnamon, saffron, raisins, and pomegranate into the local cuisine. Instead of basil, Sicilians often use mint as seasoning – and instead of meat, the Mediterranean island prefers to eat fish, especially tuna, swordfish, and sea bass, but also anchovies and sardines, fried and served as a side dish.
