ristorazione — Favignana · Sicilia
On Favignana, where the Mediterranean holds the island close on every side, there is a trattoria that has made Sicilian seafood cooking a daily, faithful practice. An address the people of Favignana know well, and one travellers learn to seek out.
Favignana is an island best told at the table. Trattoria Da Papù, run by Rosario Santamaria with the quiet care of someone who grew up among these streets, has become over time a genuine point of reference for anyone seeking the seafood cooking of the Egadi archipelago without mediation or concessions to folklore.
Every morning the catch arrives straight from Favignana's fishermen: it is the shortest supply chain there is, and it shows on the plate. Raw seafood, local red prawns, bottarga — ingredients that need no embellishment, only the respect that a traditional kitchen knows how to give to what the sea offers.
On the stoves take shape the dishes that have built the house's reputation: busiate alla favignanese with pesto and red prawn tartare, spaghetti with squid ink and sea urchin when the sea allows it, red tuna tagliata in a pistachio di Bronte (Bronte pistachio) crust. Precise recipes, flavours that belong to this corner of Sicily.
