Coming to the sunny coast of Italy and not trying the most popular and delicious local dishes is an unforgivable mistake! Similar to Julia Roberts in the movie "Eat Pray Love," it is necessary to embark on a real gastronomic pilgrimage and taste the national cuisine of Italy at least once in a lifetime.
Taormina has something to be proud of. Here, they make a delicacy that even movie Don Corleone in "The Godfather" was crazy about - sweet cannoli tubes.
Tourists who have visited the hospitable Taormina will definitely tell you that you need to add the most delicate dessert, tiramisu, to your list of "what to try in Taormina." It is something between a cake and a soufflé - the name tiramisu translates to "pick me up." And it can be said that Italian tiramisu truly uplifts.
When you step into one of the local taverns, treat yourself and try the fish, and for an even more exotic experience, go for swordfish. After the fish, we recommend indulging in Parmigiana di Melanzane, made from baked eggplants, tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese.
The region is especially famous for its olive oil, like the entire Italian coast. But here you will find incredibly tasty and juicy Sicilian blood oranges.
This region will be a true paradise for sweet lovers, as they prepare a cake from whipped ricotta cheese with candied fruit called cassata, and also pasta di mandorla - almond cookies that you won't be able to resist. And don't miss the opportunity to try almond wine, which is produced in the region.
