I became a huge fan of Chefs Table when I got introduced to Caffe Sicilia and Corrado’s genuine passion for Sicilia’s local wonders like orchards of lush lemon, almonds, and apricot, to mention some.

When it's time to sit and relax for a while head to the Caffe Sicilia located right on the Corso Vittorio Emanuele. This fourth-generation owned café opened in 1892 and is rumored to be among the best bar/cafes in all of Italy. We stopped in for a granita and were not disappointed.
