Magical art deco door opens as you approach. Here is the entrance from afar. The name of the restaurant comes from it’s proximity to the actual Duomo in town. To keep our buzzes going we were more than happy to drown some Sicilian spumante aperitifs. Chef Ciccio Sultano greeted us from the get-go. He spoke […]Read Post ›

This place is the location for having the best chocolate in Sicily. Modica is known as Chocolate City, and this place is the mecca within Modica. Not enough of an attraction on its own to come all the way out here, but this was part of our van tour starting in Ortigia to Noto, to […]Read Post ›

So, back in like 2012, when I first started traveling and getting obsessed about food and morphing into a gastronaut, I somehow came across this magazine called Apicius, which highlighted these obscure restaurants and went into a deep dive discussion with long articles about the region of interest, etc. In one of the magazines, I […]Read Post ›

I learned about this Society too late. The Society of Ulysses. Le Soste di Ulisse. This is like the Michelin guide of Sicily. Please check this website before coming here and you will already be ahead of the game. I thought the guide to look into for Italy was the Gambero Rosso, translates to the […]Read Post ›

After getting cooked on the boat in Positano, we flew to Catania and got a rental car that we drove all the way around Sicily.

This place was seriously like a museum, but at the same time as if you were having dinner at someone’s home with a Jumanji basement that felt like you were entering another land, like walking into the Goonies scene where they discover the pirate ship. If I am not mistaken, this was a bottle they […]Read Post ›

After a pleasant drive from Rome down to Naples, we stopped at Il Cristo Velato. We were not able to take pictures there so this video will have to do, but this was the most life-like sculpture I have ever seen. Cultural landmark if you are in the area. Now on to more important things, […]Read Post ›

  I can’t believe this was a little over one year ago. I am barely catching up after several epic trips that I have yet to document. I am so behind that I have to bust out my notebook and old dusty menus to remember all the details. This was such an epic night for […]Read Post ›

Though this was not the last restaurant we went to on our trip, it was our last restaurant in Hokkaido. It was definitely the apex of high-end sushi that we had on our entire trip to Japan that year. The restaurants following this were more regional and specific to a certain style, such as chicken hot-pot […]Read Post ›

I did a lot of research to find a nice specialty crab restaurant in Sapporo. This place had the highest score on the Japanese Tablelog sight of 3.48 for Sapporo specialty crab restaurants. What is special about this place is that you walk in and the crab master is all yours. He has this monster […]Read Post ›
