Couple of last photos, these from the Hotel Signum restaurant in hotel of same name, in village of Malfa, Salina. I believe Martina Caruso is among the youngest chefs to receive the coveted Michelin star, in Italy. She was very young, and simpatica to the nth degree!
Here are a few photos of our dinner there, the only time we left our hotel to dine while on Salina. Extremely difficult for a mobility-challenged person to reach hence we took a taxi offered by the Signum at a much-reduced fare from the norm. (VERY expensive to take taxis on Salina!)
Most memorable dish, triglie (mullet) that had been deboned and put back together (how??) (deboned and sewn up lightly, fried and then released of the tyings???) and then fried, served looking intact!
Desserts were wonderful, as were the other selections. Lovely service and welcoming chef. But the issue of mobility of my partner put a little damper and made it a trek when it could have been a “fairly” easy walk from higher in Malfa. After a dinner there, we were happy to return to “our” place for dinner on all following nights-- PRINCIPE DI SALINA. But next year, inshallah, we will return; note that to book, the Signum takes a deposit in advance. In any case, lovely restaurant with accomplished and personable young chef!
And to conclude, my packages sent from our idyllic hotel in Catania arrived safe and sound within 3 days, despite the busiate being opened and, no doubt, tested for who know what (??)
Next up? Anyone been to Sardinia?
