Farm to Table in Sicily
Let us welcome you to our Island!
In 2004, we decided to give our family’s abandoned lands a new lease of life and embarked on a mission to turn them back into working farms. Since then, we have been living here, meeting people and naturally sharing experiences around our food and drinks produced on our lands.
Sicilian gastronomy, shared
We would love to share here in Noto area, Sicily southeast, our experiences and show you what we are doing here, which herbs are ready now, how to prepare them, what time is best for harvest, how to graft fruit trees on wild roots and the natural selection process in action in our fields…
Join us for a little tour and a seasonal menu which will give you a real Taste of real Sicily.
We offer it in two formulas: Food Experience or Cooking Class. Both start with a short Farm walk to see what we grow, maybe harvesting some ingredients, and then to the kitchen to prepare or to the table to taste all the Farm Seasonal Menu.

Jocelyn2024-08-17What an incredible experience! Fabio and Annarella are gracious hosts! The farm is off a hilly dirt road removed from the rest of Noto giving it a secret hidden gem feeling. The farm is olive , carob and almond trees which we learned a little bit about. It was too hot to eat outside or further explore the grounds but it didn’t matter. We stayed inside in their beautiful “ communal kitchen “ which is aesthetically stunning. High cathedral ceilings, very light and airy with a beautifully set table.. straight out of an indie Italian film! Music on the record player and great conversation filled the time! We ate delicious food! They were accommodating to my dietary restrictions (no pork, beef, vinegar) ! We were greeted with watermelon ,cold tea water, almonds and cheese. Next caponata, sausage with a vegetable I forgot the name of special to Sicily( my kids ate this; they prepared me the leaves with potatoe & fried egg. Next penne pasta with eggplant in tomato sauce and cheese. So fresh!Lisa2024-08-14Fabio und Anella waren tolle Gastgeber. Zuerst führte uns Fabio durch das Areal und zeigte bzw. erklärte uns Pflanzen inkkusive deren Bedeutung in der sizilianischen Küche.Seine Landwirtschaft sollte ein Vorbild für viele sein- der Natur ihre Zeit geben und wenig eingreifen, um hervorragende Produkte zu erzeugen.Anschließend gab es ein gemeinsames, wunderbares Essen. Anella hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben und die eigenen Produkte verarbeitet. Dazu gabs einen selber produzierten Wein. Weitere Köstlichkeiten stammten von befreundeten Produzenten, die dieselben Werte vertreten.Das Ganze ist ein tolles Beispiel, wie Landwirtschaft heutzutage funktionieren muss.Wir hatte einen wunderbaren Abend mit tollen Gesprächen und haben viel gelacht.Danke Fabio und Anella!Miguel2024-08-08Thank you for providing a fun experience. It was interesting to learn about agri-farming, and to taste the local ingredients. The atmosphere was really inviting and I was glad to have met some wonderful people as part of the experience.Louise2024-08-08We loved our time here, especially Fabio and Annarella’s passion for sustainable farming in Sicily. We would recommend this experience for anyone that wants to learn about and enjoy local produce from wonderful hosts. Thank you!Alice2024-08-04The experience was absolutely wonderful. Fabio’s passion for Sicilian food and regenerative farming was apparent, and made the experience one-of-a-kind. The food was delicious and completely fresh, as everything was either grown on the farm or locally sourced. I definitely recommend this for anyone who loves farm-to-table cuisine, or just food in general.Jenelle2024-08-02If you are passionate about food, sustainability, gardening or just love getting to share a beautiful meal with new friends in the country side this is for you. Fabio and his wife showed us incredible generosity and warmth and the evening flowed with food, wine and fantastic company. We loved meeting a kindred spirit that is also passionate about sustainable agriculture and the importance of what we eat and how its grown and prepared. We discovered new flavors and learned many things. My teenage daughter was with us and she loved the wonderful dogs and cats and being in their garden. We all found ourselves talking about the experience and sharing ideas and new thoughts inspired by our conversations with Fabio and the experience the following days.Judy2024-07-23Wil je iets leren van Sicilië, wil je een plaats waar gezelligheid geen tijd kent, dan moet je bij Fabio zijn. Na het wandelen in de tuin, krijg je zulke heerlijke gerechten! Fantastische smaken, echt voor fijnproevers en mensen die liefde hebben voor eten. Ondertussen vertelt Fabio je veel over het land. Wij hadden een geweldige middag, en zouden graag terugkomen.Lisanne2024-07-23Heerlijk genoten van het pure eten. Het meeste zelf verbouwd en anders lokaal. We hebben heerlijk gegeten en zelfs onze dochter van 1 heeft heerlijk meegegeten en lekker rondgekropen.Iryna2024-07-20I had an unforgettable experience at Fabio's farm. He was incredibly knowledgeable about farming, land, and produce, sharing fascinating insights that enriched our visit. We also had the pleasure of meeting his girlfriend—soon to be wife!—who prepared a delightful lunch for us. The meal was fantastic, and the warm, friendly atmosphere made us feel like part of a Sicilian family. It was a truly immersive experience that I highly recommend to anyone looking to connect with local culture and enjoy exceptional hospitality.Stéphanie Elisabeth2024-07-20This was amazing!Fabio and Annarella are people with such a pure heart and vision. They care about their home, land and Sicilia. And you taste that in the incredible food that they spoil you with.Fabio is so enthusiastic and Annarella is such a sweetheart.1000% recommend.
