Hi from Angela!

Ursino Castle, Piazza del Duomo with the Cathedral and black lava elephant, the Roman Theater and the lively fish market are just some of the points of interest that any visitor to Catania must not miss under any circumstances. Here in the 'black' city of lava, situated at the foot of Mount Etna, which emanates its own special fascination, we meet Angela, our Cesarina. Angela welcomes us to her splendid, historical Art Nouveau villa, designed by the famous architect Francesco Fichera, who was also linked to Art Deco. In this little corner of paradise, surrounded by tall trees and a lush wisteria, Angela warmly welcomes us and tells us her story and her passion for cooking that led her to become a Cesarina. Her memories take her back to her childhood and adolescent years. In the morning, there were those in the kitchen who rolled out dough, those who kneaded dough for biscuits and those who left at 8 o’clock to search for the best quality food. These were women from other regions, who were heirs to their own culinary traditions and secrets, but who were curious and accepting of Sicilian gastronomy. They amused themselves by adding their own small touches from recipes from the north.  

My specialities
  •  Deep fried anchovy, ricotta crepes and 'bastardi affogati' (cauliflower from Etna)
  •  'Macco' (a thick cream of dried fava, broad beans, and wild fennel)
  •  'Masculini' tart of anchovies, flavored with verdello (lemons from Etna)

We spent a great evening. Angela made us prepare delicious food. She was very welcoming and nice. She took great care to choose recipes according to our food restrictions. We took great pleasure to eat what we made and drink a very nice sicilian wine. We had a lot of fun.

What an authentic experience. Angela is a very welcoming and experienced host in a magnificent house in the center of Catania. She learnt us to make traditional pasta like a pro. An unforgetable experience!

I had a great time having dinner at Angela's house. Her house was beautiful and very stylish and she is a very stylish lady. The conversation was great, she gave a lot of information about the origins of the products she used and the history of the local dishes. The food was delicious as was the wine. Overall amazing experience! Highly recommend if you want to have a unique experience and dive deeper into the local culture.
