La Madia

As well as shining a spotlight on Sicily’s top-quality ingredients, Pino Cuttaia does his best to create dishes that are easily accessible to all. His cuisine aims to awaken our culinary memories, focusing on homely flavours and traditional recipes. “Memory is the secret ingredient in dishes, which all tell a story”, says Cuttaia, and he is also found in the dining room explaining this to his guests. The emotional nostalgia of his cuisine is striking, as his carefully researched and innovative approach. His extraordinary work focuses on his ingredients, which he transforms by highlighting their essential character. The results are often highly original, as in the “Scala dei Turchi” menu which showcases Sicilian meat and fish dishes enabling guests to deepen their knowledge of the island.
