A small village dedicated to fishing<\/strong> since the dawn of time, its history has always been marked by that of the tonnara<\/em><\/strong> (tuna fishery). For many years the most important in eastern Sicily, it was founded under Arab domination<\/strong> as early as the year 1000 <\/strong>and expanded during the XVII century by the Villadorata family, until the interruption of this type of fishing in the 60s.<\/p>\n\n\n My family has always lived here, Liccamuciula is an act of love for our land and for the art of passing on our country stories.<\/p>\n(Barbara, owner)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n From there a slow oblivion until the town’s little square, about 20 years ago, began to come back to life thanks to the birth of Taverna La Cialoma<\/em> restaurant, opened by Donna Lina Campisi<\/strong>, that today has become the symbol of the rebirth of Marzamemi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Years later, just opposite, Barbara<\/strong>, daughter of Donna Lina and proud granddaughter of the Rais<\/em> (manager in local language) of the Tonnara of Marzamem<\/em>i, decided to give life to her dream, inspired by childhood memories, when she was known as the little “liccamuciula”<\/em>, who local dialect indicates a person with a sweet tooth. Thus, her restaurant, of which she also coordinates the kitchen with an all-female<\/strong> team of cooks<\/strong>, is a hymn of love to the history of the village, told through books and the many handicrafts, bijoux, gastronomy products and wines that you can buy them here.<\/p>\n\n\n No vessel can take you you farther than a book.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The decoration<\/strong> of the rooms is inspired by the reuse of ancient marine objects<\/strong> recovered in the village and the theme of reading<\/strong>. In fact, book-shaped lights, typewriters and hand-decorated ceramics appear among the shelves, in an ensemble that well tells the story of the thousand cultures<\/strong>, primarily the Arab<\/strong> one, which have met over the centuries in this wonderful corner of Sicily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The details<\/strong> are extremely refined, such as the choice to decorate each table with a book or, in the cold months, to arrange comfy blankets on the chairs to still enjoy the outdoor dehors, up to the many aphorisms<\/strong>, written everywhere, which speak of the sea and ancient adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n The menu<\/strong> is truly delicious, perfect for any time of day: it is no coincidence that a sign outside the restaurant reads, like a mantra<\/em>, the phrase “always open”. You can start for an aperitif<\/strong> with Sicilian tapas<\/strong>, such as raw red prawns, the vegetable caponata<\/em> or arancini<\/em>, and then continue for lunch<\/strong> or dinner<\/strong> with the “Literary dishes” and the “Great classics” with recipes that look to tradition such as fish swordfish with datterini<\/em> tomatoes, herbs, capers, raisins and Marsala<\/em> wine or baked cod with almond cream and roasted potatoes, to be accompanied, of course, by excellent Sicilian wines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It goes without saying that Liccamuciula is one of the most magical places in Sicily, where you can really understand why Goethe wrote: It is not possible to form a correct idea of Italy without having seen Sicily: herein lies the key to everything<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the Second World War Marzameni suffered a severe attack by the British aviation which damaged the Tonnara in particular, marking the beginning of its decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n Liccamuciula Tapas: from 7 euro In Marzamemi, a characteristic fishing village, Liccamuciula is a shop and restaurant inserted in the magical context of the Palazzo di Villadorata and the splendid central square of the small fishing village of Arab origin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1593,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[121,68,64,77,61,84,98,91,90,94,97],"class_list":["post-1639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-rustic","tag-baroque-unesco","tag-bistro","tag-craftmanship","tag-dehor-en","tag-drinks","tag-natural-local-products","tag-panoramic-view","tag-restaurant","tag-romantic","tag-traditional","tag-vegetarian-friendly-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/siciliasecrets.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Liccamuciola-Sicilia-Secrets685-683x1024.jpg\")
