Sicily is famous for its beauty but also for its local food.
Sicilian traditional cuisine is centuries old and it has many dishes inspired by other Mediterranean cuisine like Spanish, Greek and Arab.
Traditional Sicilian food is more than just food, it has to do with culture, history and tradition.
It’s the warmth of our grandmother’s kitchen, it’s the joy of a meal shared with your family, it’s the velvety ricotta cream of cannoli.
That’s the reason why, at Absolute Sicilia, we want to show you the true essence of Sicilian food, we want you to taste Sicily through its traditional dishes.

We will bring you to secluded monasteries where cloistered nuns prepare delicious sweets, we will show you how the fishermen in the small villages use their traditional fishing methods in tune with nature, and we will surprise you with the fragrant scent of grape must during autumn harvest.
In our authentically Mediterranean island every season has its own specialties and every area has its own products.
The bright colors and the sweetness of summer fruits will win you over. You will find solace from the heat by eating a granita and brioche sitting at a traditional café. You will indulge in the deliciously decadent sponge and marzipan of a cassata cake.
All the food experiences we can offer you are tailored to your needs and tastes and will make you fall madly in love with Sicily.

Sicily is a volcanic island surrounded by myths and mysteries. The fire concealed deep underground has always provoked in humans both fear and awe.
For the ancient Greeks Mount Etna, the biggest active volcano in Europe, was the house of Hephaestus, god of fire and metals and blacksmith of the Olympus.
The gentle giant, as people of Sicily call Etna, keeps its charm intact to this day. The mountain is a beautiful destination for trekking excursions and for winter sports, its lunar landscape is one of the most evocative in the entire Sicily.

Etna may be the most famous Sicilian volcano but it’s not the only one. The Aeolian island is a volcanic archipelago off the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily, the astonishing landscape of these islands offers the chance to see volcanic activity up close.
The bright red of the lava flowing on the black stone and the sky embracing the sea on the horizon in a breathtaking blue, all these elements together create the Sciara in Stromboli.

In ancient times volcanoes were thought to be the gateway to the afterworld, in more recent times they have inspired some masterpieces of modern filmmaking, like Stromboli of Roberto Rossellini, a classic of neorealist cinema with Ingrid Bergman, or Vulcano, featuring the unforgettable icon of Italian cinema, Anna Magnani.
