Although its cuisine has a lot in common with Italian cuisine, Sicilian cuisine shows an outstanding culinary heritage with traces of all cultures that have existed on the island: Greek, Spanish, French and Arab. This succession of civilizations has created a rich and varied culinary tradition that Mamma Bucci will recreate for this unique culinary experience featuring seven flavorful courses and two iconic desserts of the Island of Sicily. Sicilian wines to pair will be available for purchase.

A slow-cooked ratatouille-like mix of eggplants, celery, onions, tomato, olives, basil, pine nuts, honey and extra-virgin olive oil, caponata is usually served cold or at room temperature. Most Sicilians think caponata is a Spanish dish!
