Being a naive foreign traveler I routed myself out to Antonio’s home with Apple Maps and it caused me to end up at the wrong house not too far away, but what ensued was quite. A bit of confusion on my end that Antonio immediately resolved by walking me through the steps to get to his home (using Google Maps - this is a must) and even offering to drive to my location so I could follow him back to his home. It was immediately apparent how gracious, patient and excited Antonio was about hosting guests and made me feel truly welcome before I had even arrived! He really diffused what was a stressful situation (my lateness and being lost) for me into a forgotten matter in no time and made me feel extremely happy to be there at his home without a single glitch. Just to be clear, I had chosen the option of taking advantage of Antonio’s home cooked meal - I came to Sicily first and foremost to taste and I cannot stress enough how much his offerings are not to be missed. No meals I had in any restaurants elsewhere throughout my time in Sicily even approached the intrinsic and outward beauty of every detail of Antonio’s multi-course meal. Please do yourself a favor and choose this option (breakfast too!) - for what he charges for the meals, it is truly the best bargain in all of the dining I encountered in Sicily. Wow. Homemade cheese with homemade preserved marmalades from fruits grown on the property - much of the meal consists of ingredients he grows right on the property (and any others are extremely locally procured ingredients from nearby), and do look around his extensive oasis in the daylight it really is quite breathtaking. I would and could list every detail of the meal, but I would hate to spoil the many surprises. Let me just say, Antonio can cook and he does so with the love of many Sicilian grandmothers and the execution of a fast paced Michelin starred NYC restaurant with extreme attention to detail in terms of plating, table service, and carefully chosen wines. Antonio is a jovial and fun loving host that is a thrill to be around. Even in the dark of night (which is when I arrived) his place is a little paradise the way it is setup and lit. Each course and there were many so come hungry, brought new surprises and extended important representation of regional Sicilian culture and pride! Wow. I really couldn’t have expected to love this meal as much as I did, and my only mistake in booking my stay here with Antonio was only booking for one night. The room I stayed in was quite spacious and provided me a wonderful sleep, sharing the bathroom with another couple was no problem at all. I really loved Antonio’s home times a million. His English is also near perfect and he makes you feel welcome...
