RESTAURANTS AND FOOD

Sicilian dishes to try some caponata (eggplant and olive salad), involtini di pesce spada (swordfish rolls) , Tonno (tuna) and gamberi (shrimp) and gamberone (large prawns). Polpetti or meatballs were supposedly first created in Sicily. Try the pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines and wild fennel) or authentic veal marsala from Marsala. A local favorite is “Arancini” fried rice balls stuffed with meat or cheese. Another local favorite is a thick bread style pizza called sfincione. You can always find it at the bakeries. Try the peperonata (grilled peppers). Try the blood orange juice. For desserts there are canoli, frutta di martorana (marzipan) and an array of fabulous cream filled delights. And don’t forget to eats lots of granita. You might think you’ve tasted it before, but never like it’s made in Sicily. I’m getting really hungry….
