Amazing Experience - Having the opportunity to meet Angela and Vittorio was a highlight of our trip. They welcomed us into their beautiful home and gave us an experience of a lifetime. From breakfast at a neighborhood bar to the open market experience in downtown Catania, to rolling homemade pasta and cooking delights of Sicily- this is an experience we will never forget. Perhaps even better than the above was dinner and conversation with Angela and her son. It was a true Italian experience! Thank you to both of them!
