The most authentic Sicily in Rome

Since 2013 we’ve been bringing the true flavours of the island to Rome: Bronte pistachio, black mulberries from Etna, Modica chocolate. Chosen one by one, by people who carry Sicily in their hearts.

About us

“Le Sicilianedde” means “little Sicilian women”: a term of endearment, said with tenderness.
It’s our thank-you to the women of the house – grandmothers, mothers and aunts – who made so much out of so little and taught us what real flavour is.
Enzo comes from Bronte, raised among pistachio trees. He arrived in Rome in ’76 and learned his craft at a legendary restaurant, the Sans Souci. But one thought never left him: bringing the true flavours of his island here.
“That’s when I realised I wasn’t just selling: I was bringing a piece of Sicily to those who missed it.” — Enzo
He brought to Rome the flavours of Sicily, the real one: Bronte pistachio, black mulberries from Etna, Modica chocolate, Sicilian black bee honey, Nebrodi black pork. Chosen one by one from the island’s small artisans.
