“This isn’t a restaurant but my go-to spot for all things tuna. Located in Marzamemi, a beautiful port town, Adelfio produces everything onsite and you can still see the production. There are two things you must pick up when you’re here: tuna bottarga and Pachino sundried tomatoes. Both are perfect companions as pasta condiments, especially olive oil-based or tomato-based pasta sauces. I usually enjoy the tuna bottarga simply grated on aglio e olio, with a ton of parsley and a bit of chilli. For the Pachino sundried tomato, they must be re-hydrated with a short boil and then preserved in oil, spices and herbs for a while before usage.
This part of town is known for its abundance of beautiful products and crafts from local producers so keep your eyes peeled. After walking around the port, consider stopping for lunch at the captivating Taverna La Cialoma, an al-fresco Italian restaurant by the sea.”
