Live Cooking Show at a Local Restaurant

The cooking show begins slowly, almost like a graceful dance. At the heart of the scene stands the chef, a true master of island culinary arts, who begins to share the story behind each dish, weaving together ancient traditions with seasonal flavours. As he slices fresh vegetables from the garden with precision, the sound of olive oil sizzling starts to fill the room, mingling with the rich aromas of citrus and wild herbs. With each movement, the chef isn’t just cooking – he is crafting a multi-sensory experience. Let yourself be captivated, eyes fixed on the pan, as the freshest Mediterranean fish is expertly grilled, revealing the pure, authentic taste of the Sicilian sea.

Rosario hails from a long line of renowned restaurateurs in Enna.

He is an alchemist, capable of transforming simple ingredients into true works of culinary art. A delicate coating of ancient Sicilian grains encases gastronomic treasures: saffron, Piacentinu cheese from Enna, Trapani sea salt, Ispica carrots, and donkey mortadella. Despite his success, he still runs the small shop where it all began, preserving a warm, homely atmosphere that makes you feel part of the everyday traditions of the people of Enna, simple yet profound. You will be welcomed with a glass of organic Sicilian sparkling wine, followed by a tasting of various arancini from Enna and his famous cannoli.
