Amazing Sicily Day Trip - Pistachio Heaven from Catania to Randazzo

Send us a text

Join me on one of my favorite day-trips in Italy, when we took a train around Mamma Etna, an active volcano, ended in a city we never heard of, had some of the best food in the entire world: Pistachio Pancetta Pasta, Tender moist grilled chicken (no American steroid monsters), and Pistachio Pancakes made with the most perfectly balanced Pistachio cream to ever grace this planet.

It turns out that the city that we visited is right next to the home of Pistachio in Sicily - it was literal heaven!

I am officially a Pistachio monster now haha.

The city itself, Randazzo, also turned out to be an amazing city, with streets and buildings made entirely from volcanic rock, which gave the city a regal, dark, yet warm and cozy feeling, full of small streets and cafes and taverns, some of which opened out onto a valley that spanned far and wide to provide you the most picturesque of places from which to watch the sunset.

When we returned home from our trip, the hostel family had finished a home cooked meal and the Sicilian Mamma greeted us with open arms, warm hugs, smiles from ear-to-ear, laughter, even more food and, of course, wine.

The day trip, the city, the food, and the company was perfect!

This was one of my favorite adventures to recount and relive and I hope you enjoy it :)
