PLACES TO EAT AT SUSAFA
THE RESTAURANT IS SET IN AN OLD GRANARY, THE QUALITY IS IN THE RAW MATERIALS AND THEIR SUSTAINABILITY
Flavours
The flavours at Susafa are inspired above all by rural culture, a call to return to our origins, to good food, to seasonal values and rhythms which still define every harvest and crop. Such as wild fennel, only available for a brief period in the year, or green vegetables such as spinach or chard. Our organic oil, which blends with all the flavours, along with the oven-fresh bread, made with care using traditional methods.
Then there's the chef, with whom you can take a walk in the garden and chat about the evening menu, highlighting the characteristic produce from the culinary tradition, reinterpreted for today. Finally, there are the places for food, today's restaurant located in what was once the old granary. Here, within stout stone walls, the atmosphere has the warmth of long memory, but with a subtle, contemporary note, while the emotions are warmed by the hearth, and aromas waft beneath the broad vault of the roof.

The restaurant
The place is austere but evocative. Stone walls, Sicilian terracotta floor, historic remnants of furniture and decorative articles, and quiet, warm lighting provide a truly unique ambience.
There is a menu à la carte, with a noted preference for regional dishes. Seasonal ingredients and local or home-produced products.
The wine list includes some of the best of Sicilian choices, as well as a small selection of the most famous traditional products of the country.

The kitchen garden
Caring for a garden means being in harmony with tradition. Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, aubergine, peppers, onions, potatoes and many other delicacies, are used in the chef’s recipes, and served at the table. Susafa’s kitchen garden is tended daily with expert attention from Calogero, joined sometimes in the fields by the chef, who personally gathers the herbs and flavourings, to enhance his dishes with special notes. He can always be found in the kitchen or the garden, his natural environment.
Guaranteed fresh and authentic, at all times.

The aromatic herb garden
All the dishes are enhanced by the aromatic herbs growing in our small Mediterranean plot. Vibrant tones and genuine flavours are only possible using real ingredients, so the area devoted to them in the garden is the place to discover and smell them all.
Thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary, tarragon, camomile, basil, parsley, mint, wild rocket, dill, lemon balm, young garlic, you can enjoy finding all the scents for yourself.

The orchard
For a rich and diverse orchard, we sought out indigenous species and reintroduced old varieties of Madonie fruits, more natural and better suited to the region.
This means that these plants are by far the most resistant to possible diseases. Natural cultivation is an inevitable result of this choice.

The bar
Have a drink in the old wine-pressing area. This is a place to enjoy the experience of sipping a glass of wine within the walls where it was once produced, intended only for the household and not for sale, then distributed to the workers who gathered at the farmhouse every week to collect supplies.
Today, within the wine bar, we take you on a journey through the Sicilian wine tradition, as well as the liqueurs such as Passito, Moscato, Malvasia or Marsala. A comfortable, intimate living space is the perfect spot for moments devoted to reading in front of the fireplace on the coldest days.
