Experience the flavours & emotions of Sicily thanks to Fulvio Pierangelini, A world renowned chef curator of the dining experience at Verdura.
At Verdura Golf & Spa Resort we have created a culinary experience as unique as the island. With four different restaurants and four bars, plus private dining options, overseen by the famous two Michelen stars Fulvio Pierangelini, guests can choose the perfect venue to suit every occasion.
Food lies at at the heart of Sicily. Famously fragrant and aromatic, its cuisine is – in Fulvio words – “Simple and sensual” as the local dishes are mainly flavoured with saffron, herbs, olives or lemons, and an abundance of fresh ingredients such as honey, almonds and tomatoes plucked from the vine.
Pierangelini is famous for having included pasta with tomato sauce on the menu at the well renowned restaurant Il Gambero Rosso, to prove that Michelin-starred food need not be complicated and fussy. “As chefs, we must support the local producers and defend the traditional procedures and gestures” highlights Il Maestro. He continues “The raw ingredients play a crucial role in the final results of a dish”. And this is the reason why Fulvio has spent more than six months in selecting the best producers in Sicily. He explains “I choose consciously to love ingredients sourced locally and produced with a deep respect of Nature as ingredients are sacrificed for our life and pleasure”.
So in Verdura, Pierangelini has designed menu in which dishes from the Italian and Sicilian traditions are every time a new tasting experience. Fulvio does not interpret well renowned recipes. He uses his passion and sensuality to create emotions. In his dishes the simplicity becomes the final point.
This rich Sicilian and Italian culinary heritage is celebrated at Verdura, from a family seafood barbecue at the beachside Amare restaurant to a romantic, clifftop dinner at Liolá, where you can feast on freshly baked pizza or authentic Sicilian specialities watching the sun disappear into the ocean.
For another memorable moment esperienze Zagara that offers a fine International dining option in an exclusive ambient.

Children also have their tastes catered for. In each restaurant a specially created menu features freshly made favourites that can be served at the table or brought to your room.
