ristorazione — Morangis · Île-de-France
In Essonne, a short distance from Paris, an ancient name calls back to the Sicily of its origins. Mamma Sikelia is the reference point for the island's cuisine on French soil, run by Vincenzo Adelfio and Michele Lionti.
The sign carries a name that is already a statement of intent: Sikelia, the ancient Greek name for the island. On avenue Charles de Gaulle in Morangis, Vincenzo Adelfio and Michele Lionti have opened a door onto Sicily, certified Eccellenza Italiana, a rare address of its kind in Essonne.
The dining room welcomes those seeking the flavours of the Mediterranean without crossing the Alps. Gault&Millau has listed Mamma Sikelia among the traditional-cuisine restaurants of the Paris region, and TripAdvisor consistently ranks it among the top venues in Morangis, with an average of 4.2 out of 5 across thirteen reviews.
From the kitchen come the dishes of Sicilian tradition and the pizzas that have won over critics and regulars alike. The kitchen is the heart of the house: Adelfio and Lionti run it with consistency, keeping faith with the island's register, far from the contaminations that so often accompany Italian dining abroad.
