Dinner on Rooftop with personal Chef

This experience was absolutely fantastic and I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Syracuse. Angelo and Loren were fantastic hosts. We were greeted and taken up to their rooftop terrace and offered a glass of Prosecco to start. We sat down and enjoyed watching the beautiful sunset over the old town. Angelo is extremely knowledgable about the local area along with the history of Syracuse and Sicily - we both learnt so much from him. We began with Ricotta aperitifs before moving across to the dining table, where we could see into the kitchen and watch Angelo prepare our dishes and explain the ingredients and history behind each dish he was creating. Our starters were a take on a Caprese Salad, with tomatoes on mozzarella, in a basil 'sauce' - and he decorated them to look like toadstools! Our first course was a beautiful green risotto, made with a special lemon that looks like a lime! It was decorated so beautifully with home-grown flowers and crunchy onions (and crunch bacon pieces for my boyfriend) and tasted sublime. This was my boyfriends favourite dish of the evening. Our second course was Angelo's take on a Caponata - a famous Sicilian dish. It was so rich and full with flavour - I could have eaten another portion! This was my favourite dish. A lovely bottle of wine was also included in the meal. Our dessert was a citrus semi-freddo with blood orange flavours and a strawberry coulis, which was delicious!! To finish off the meal we each had some limoncello, and were offered espressos. It was such a unique experience, and very good value for money. We both thoroughly enjoyed the evening. The food and drinks were excellent and you could see the love and passion Angelo has for his food and hosting for his guests. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and very helpful. He even gave us a recommendation for another restaurant to try, and booked us in for the following evening! All in all, a great evening that I would definitely do again if we come back! I would highly recommend this experience to everyone. Grazie Mille Angelo e Loren!
