The charm of Sicilian cuisine lies in its simplicity, built upon carefully selected products — the fruits of a rich and generous land. Discover the signature ingredients that make all the difference on our plates.
🍅 Agromonte Yellow Tomato Sauce: The Sicilian Sun in a Bottle
Made from yellow datterino tomatoes grown in southern Sicily, Agromonte’s yellow tomato sauce is a true concentration of sweetness and light. Its golden hue and velvety texture add a touch of originality to our dishes at Nonna Mia.
Naturally sweet and low in acidity, it reveals delicate aromas that elevate our fresh pasta, creamy risottos, and even some of our fish-based recipes.
At Nonna Mia, we use it as a bright, sunny base — the perfect alternative to traditional red tomato sauce for those seeking a lighter touch, without compromising on the authenticity and richness of Sicilian flavor.
🍰 Neapolitan Rum Baba: A Taste of the Dolce Vita
Originating from Naples, the Baba au Rhum is an iconic southern Italian dessert — a symbol of indulgence and conviviality. At Nonna Mia, we prepare it in the traditional way: a soft, slow-risen dough soaked in a light, aromatic rum syrup. Served with a dollop of homemade whipped cream, it delights with its perfect balance of sweetness, lightness, and aroma. This melt-in-your-mouth dessert promises a festive finale that transports you straight to the Neapolitan coast.
🍷 Nero d’Avola Wines: The Pride of Sicilian Terroir
A true emblem of Sicilian winemaking, Nero d’Avola is a red grape variety known for its powerful and generous aromas. At Nonna Mia, we feature Nero d’Avola IGT Terre Siciliane La Ferla, an elegant wine with notes of ripe red fruit, spice, and cocoa.
Its balance of roundness and intensity makes it the perfect match for our meat dishes, homemade lasagna, or aged cheeses.
Each glass celebrates the richness of Sicilian terroir — an authentic experience where the warmth of the sun lingers in every sip.
🌾 Our Philosophy: Authenticity, Simplicity, and Love for the Product
Sicilian cuisine needs no embellishment. Its brilliance lies in the quality of its ingredients and the respect for artisanal craftsmanship.
