| Trattoria Da Nino |
 |
| What a lovely view from the balcony where we ate! This was our first night in Sicily. We started the day leaving Tampa, Fl. around 3pm the previous day and arrived finally in Sicily around noon. Which might explain why we look a little tired. |
 |
The Caponata was
quite good
(this dish is on the menu as "aubergine casserole") It was served at a room temperature and contained: eggplant, pine nuts, bell pepper, zucchini, and the un-sweet local raisins. |
 |
| Prosecco
di Valdobbiadene DOCG Astoria Millesimato 015 ( info ) |
 |
| We
started the meal with some prosecco (which, like everything else that we had, was local made) The prosecco was nice but the Planeta Carricante was my favorite white wine of the trip. (for more info: Planeta Winery Eruzione 1614 Carricante) |
 |
| Fried combfish. I loved this dish! The name is a mystery though-the "comb" of combfish refers to the fact that you need a comb to pull the meat off of the bones when eating (we used forks-lol) |
 |
| Fried appetizers served steaming hot. The incredibly thin and light batter made this dish very good. Contained shrimp, combfish, and calamari. |

Radicchio pasta-
was tasty but a
little strange, because of the radicchio.
I had never even imagined such a thing previously!
It had a nice
flavor with a touch of the radicchio bitterness.

 |
Funghi pasta with
porcini mushrooms.
Delicious dish!

| Almond Cake. Had to try some! It was a nice ending to a lovely meal! |
