A true Sicilian Dinner in Catania - 9003b9800935e66ca25936ab9b7b7c5d

Sicily is more than the biggest island in the Mediterranean Sea - it is stepped in tradition and influenced by centuries of conquering countries.

Food in Sicily is unique to the world and distinctive in flavor. The extraordinary richness of Sicilian cuisine is a tribute to the Mediterranean Sea and a clear reflection of the cultural layers that have occurred over thousand of years of history of the island. Travelers not only come for its history or its amazing architecture but also for its culinary tradition. This amazing combination of flavors and colors gave birth to one of the most balanced cuisine of the world: the Mediterranean diet, included by UNESCO in the list of intangible cultural heritage.

Sicilian culinary art expresses its best at the dinner table and in the recipes of our Mamma or Nonna, therefore having the opportunity to have a home dinner is a unique experience!

The house is the temple where ancient and traditional rituals take place - cooking is a ritual, and so is consuming the meals. Families seat together at the table, often accompanied by neighbors, friends, and relatives... please, do take your seat and join me at my table!

P.S.: Some dishes may vary according to the season and to the availability of the ingredients. I prefer not to cook for vegans, vegetarians and coeliacs. No pets are allowed in the house.

Our dinner with Gloria was absolutely lovely from beginning to the end. The food and drink were authentic to the region, and taste and presentation were exceptional.

Gloria and Nino are fabulous hosts. From the email communications to directions on arrival, the whole evening was unforgettable. Gloria was brilliant at explaining about all the different foods we ate along with showing us how they were prepared and how they were cooked. Nino was a fabulous waiter (as Gloria described 😁) and being in both their company was a great experience. The whole evening was way beyond what we had expected and would recommend to anybody who is looking to dive into Sicilian food and meet some fabulous Sicilian locals.Fabulous experience

Gloria and Antonio looked after us so well. We arrived to a home full of local delights to try and then proceeded on to a series of small dishes with matching wine. This is certainly one to try. Hospitality was amazing. The best experience in Catania
