I grew up in a Sicilian family, lived in Italy for years, and love to cook. So if I am going to an Italian restaurant I have high expectations. Etna blew them all away. The tender grilled octopus, perfectly prepared mussels, and the squid ink pasta are all fantastic. Tonight I had the orecchiette with escarole and sausage and in one bite it brought back so many memories of Sunday dinners with family and friends. It also reminds you that the best dishes feature a few humble ingredients prepared simply from the heart. If you have a sweet tooth, save room!!! Lemon cassata just like Nonna made, and frozen desserts straight from Milan are there to make you swoon at the first bite.
Buonissimo!!
