Antonio

I deeply love my Sicily and everything that its rich culinary culture represents. I am passionate about exploring authentic Sicilian dishes, with the aim of rediscovering and celebrating traditional flavors. Between 2019 and 2020, I conducted a study on the monsù cuisine of Palermo's aristocratic families, an extraordinary experience both from a practical and narrative perspective, allowing me to delve into the history and elegance of this gastronomic tradition. For many years, I worked in Michelin-starred restaurants, where I nurtured my passion for "contemporary cuisine," experimenting with innovative techniques and creative approaches. During this time, I also specialized in international cuisine, with a particular focus on Mediterranean flavors and traditions.

We had a wonderful time with Antonio in the market and in his kitchen. It was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. He is a wonderful teacher and he have us special insights into Italian culture and hidden gems to visit in Palermo. Eating the meal we made with his friends and family was also very special. Highly recommend. Grazie Antonio!
