Il Ritrovo Dei Re Alla Taberna Di Arnaldo

Nestled in the enchanting streets of Montalbano Elicona, a town rich in medieval charm and timeless beauty, stands a dining establishment that transports guests through the annals of Sicilian history: Il Ritrovo Dei Re alla Taberna di Arnaldo. Translated to 'The Kings' Meeting Place at Arnaldo's Tavern', the restaurant is as regal and atmospheric as its name suggests. Upon entering, one immediately feels the weight of centuries past. Stone walls, worn with age, whisper tales of kings, knights, and noblemen who might have once frequented such a venue. Chandeliers crafted from iron and glass cast a warm glow over rustic wooden tables adorned with pewter plates and goblets reminiscent of grand feasts from the bygone eras. At the helm of this culinary time machine is Arnaldo, a masterful chef and storyteller. Drawing inspiration from ancient recipes passed down through generations, Arnaldo breathes new life into traditional dishes, ensuring that Sicily's rich culinary heritage is preserved and revitalized. Signature dishes, such as 'Agnello alla Normanna'—a succulent lamb dish slow-cooked with herbs and local wines—and 'Ravioli di Ricotta e Cioccolato', which combines creamy ricotta with dark chocolate in delicate pasta parcels, showcase the fusion of flavours that Sicily is celebrated for.
