In the news soon after it was founded.

Sicily is an island located in the south of Italy, known for its rich history, culture and delicious cuisine. The island has been influenced by various cultures, including the Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Normans, which have all contributed to the unique flavors and dishes that make up Sicilian cuisine.


Sicilian food is characterized by its use of fresh ingredients, such as seafood, tomatoes, citrus fruits, and olive oil, which are all staples of the Mediterranean diet. Some of the most popular dishes from Sicily include arancini (deep-fried rice balls), pasta alla Norma (pasta with tomato sauce, eggplant and ricotta), and caponata (a vegetable stew made with eggplant, olives, and capers). 


With its diverse cuisine, Sicily is a food lover’s paradise that offers something for every palate.
