So I finally made it to Sicily! I just need to decide now which way to go...east or west. West will be a lot more time in Sicily and a much longer bike ride. It might be difficult mountainous terrain, but might not be...I'm not sure. East would be to go along the north shore of Sicily which I believe is all cliffs and mountains. I need to research this to find out more, but I'm pretty sure I'm heading west. I read about a fishing village to the west of Palermo and I want to see it. Also, Since I've wanted to see Sicily for so long, I might as well make a week out of it...or two weeks? There is no large transportation system here, so it's going to be an adventurous time on the bicycle...not sure what I'm getting in to. But for today I know exactly what I'm doing:
Today is Sicilian pizza Day for the James.
I’m going to have lunch at place #1 and bring home dinner from Place #2:
Place #1: Mounir… Ranked number 1 of 1,264 restaurants in the capital of sicily, Palermo where I have a hotel for the night. The price is 6 Euro or $7 US Dollars... for the best restaurant out of over a thousand, I'd say that's a great deal!
Place #2: Frida...and I will most definitely be getting the Vulcanotto. This is from a review I found online:
Frida
Where: Piazza Sant’Onofrio, 37-38, 90100, Palermo
Specialties: all pizzas are amazing (trust me, I tried many of them…), but the real specialty is ‘vulcanotto’, a square pizza framed by a thick stuffed crust.
What people say: many reviewers call it “the best pizza in Palermo”, others go even further and say it’s the best in Italy… I guess you’ll have to try for yourself and let me know what you think! Read more reviews.
