Taormina on a plate

Taormina is Sicily's most glamorous resort town, with Etna views and Greek theater sunsets. The local Sicilian with Arab and Greek influences cuisine is defined by ingredients that can only be fully appreciated here: Sicilian almonds, Ragusano DOP cheese, and tuna from Favignana. Sicily's volcanic soils, intense sun, and sea breezes create ingredients of extraordinary intensity. Bronte pistachios, prized worldwide, grow only on Etna's slopes. The island's Greek and Arab culinary heritage adds layers of flavor unique in Italy. Your private chef will source these directly from trusted local suppliers, transforming your accommodation into a stage for dishes like caponata, involtini di pesce spada, and pasta alla Norma — each one a story of this land told through flavor.

What to expect from your private chef experience

Your experience begins when your chef arrives at your accommodation with the day's finest ingredients from Sicily's local markets and producers.

Each course is paired with wines like Marsala or Passito di Pantelleria. Your chef handles everything: cooking, plating, serving, and a spotless kitchen at the end.
