Graziella Cataldi

U Sulicce’nti
Via Aprile 3, Rosolini

The roots of U Sulicce’nti reach back to the 1930s, when Graziella’s father opened his “Putìa,” a traditional wine shop. The serene and simple space is now run with passion by Graziella and her husband Santino, together with their daughters. They serve traditional Sicilian dishes, revisited with a modern touch and given added value by the use of the best ingredients the local area has to offer. The family atmosphere and understated decor make for a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere.
