Trattoria Pizzeria Antichi Sapori

Hidden amidst the rolling hills and timeless streets of Troina, the Trattoria Pizzeria Antichi Sapori emerges as a culinary gem, radiating Sicilian gastronomy's ageless charm and flavours. The name 'Antichi Sapori' evokes images of historic Sicilian villages, where recipes passed down through generations testify to the island's rich culinary tapestry. And indeed, stepping into this trattoria is akin to entering a Sicilian home from days gone by. The rustic stone walls of Antichi Sapori, peppered with vintage photographs and traditional kitchen utensils, paint a portrait of old-world Sicily. Wooden tables, worn smooth by years of shared meals and laughter, are set under dimly lit lanterns, casting a warm, inviting glow. The menu at Antichi Sapori is both a celebration of tradition and a tribute to the bounties of Sicily. The pizzas fired to perfection in a wood-burning oven, come adorned with various fresh, local ingredients. From the tang of sun-ripened tomatoes to the creamy goodness of buffalo mozzarella, every bite transports diners to Sicily's sun-soaked fields and shores. But beyond pizzas, the trattoria presents a spread that speaks of familial Sunday lunches and festive gatherings. Dishes like 'Pasta alla Norma,' showcasing the harmonious blend of eggplant, tomatoes, and ricotta salata, and 'Osso Buco alla Troinese,' a delectable meat dish slow-cooked in a rich tomato and wine sauce, are heartwarming reminders of Sicilian culinary prowess.
