the middle of that.
And oh, look at this name.
This place has a remarkablehistory and a great location.
It's also very big in the areaof tourist destinations.

What is the region that this isin?
(03:14):
Jess, sicily, sicily, italy.
So you're talking one of thebiggest tourist destinations of
Italy.
So I thought this was more thanappropriate and the name of the
town is Calteni Setta, CalteniSetta, which we had to look up
the renunciation of it, becausethat is how you say it, calteni
(03:34):
Setta.
I was mimicking the dude thatwas trying to do it.
Calteni Setta, the Googletranslation.
But yes, this is Calteni Setta,now, where we can find this
village, slash town.
Can we say it more likeaggressively, or I mean, I don't
(03:54):
care Calteni Setta, calteniSetta, calteni Setta.
I just wanted to try.
I had to see Calteni Setta.
When I travel across the world,I want to give you Calteni
Setta.
So here is Calteni Setta, in themiddle of Sicily.
Now, if you look around it,there is a lot of different
(04:19):
cities, but there's also a lotof scenery.
I see a lot of Castle parks.
I see a lot of greenery andforests, lakes and like that was
part of the reason I picked itReally beautiful scenery,
forests, yeah, it's pretty nice.
Like this would be a town thatI would say would be an awesome
getaway spot.
It should be on a magic garden,yeah, and honestly also a great
(04:43):
first date location.
Oh, dude, can you imagine liketaking a woman there and be like

Calteni Setta, calteni Setta,oh yeah, we went to Calteni
Setta.
I don't think she can get pastthe pronunciation.
She'd be like what They'd belike where it's awesome, all
(05:05):
right.
So this if you look it up onthe map, it's in Sicily, italy.
We'll see a lot of greenforests, like we said, around it
.
The biggest thing about CalteniSetta is was that it was
established.
Give me a second, I got to pullup my history here.
There was this one thetechnology.
The origins of Calteni Settacan be traced back to 406 BC,
(05:30):
when Admiral I don't know how topronounce this Nicaea, nicaea,
what, on Nicaea of Halmikarsiege force established a fort
at this site, later calledCastra Nicaea, which is Fort
Nicaea, if you want to look itup.
So ever since 406 BC, we cansee traces of history in this
(05:54):
area.
Keep it going成.
Appeals.
The two biggest things thatwe're going to talk about today
on this show is what you stuff,you digest, what you eat and
what to do.
What to do, because when youvisit a city or you're traveling
across the world, there'spretty much two things that
you're gonna be interested in.
You're gonna eat while you'reclimbing a castle wall exactly.
(06:15):
There's gonna be a corn dog inone hand and a pizza and the
other crepe.
In one hand, it's very American.
Crepes are good crepes, okay.
Well, we're gonna talk aboutsome of the food they got here.
I'll add something to the handwhen we see it.
Yeah, we're gonna talk aboutsome of the food we got here and

Nezeta.
Oh, I got it.

Okay, so this article we foundwas according to a gamboro rosso
, which is this food site.
Now, they could be biased.
I don't know, they are verybiased.

They did pick out some fancyplaces.
Now, mind you, we're gonna goover these seven and also some
of the ones that we found onGoogle Maps that have high
ratings.
So here's the seven bestrestaurants in Calte Nezeta,
according to gamboro rosso,where to eat in Calte Nezeta.

preference for champagne.
Okay.
So what I open daily, what I'vegathered so far with this city
is especially in Italy and thisis a big thing with Italy period
(11:06):
but especially in a count in aset up.
They are big on wine, likenearly every restaurant has wine
selections.
So, yeah, that's, if you'redefinitely looking for a place
to try wine, add, count in a set.
That's your list.
Looks like there's a lot andthere's the picture that it.

We're gonna go there and we'regonna eat and have a good time
in the city's expanding areacalled Cala Ghetto of Enchata.
After learning of the butcheringtrade in his father's and

opened his restaurant to sharehis great passion for me with
guests.
It's a place where people caneat well, feel at home, enjoy
dishes of both local and foreignmeats selected directly from
his butcher shop.
In the kitchen, angela Ruizzoshares Cala, cala hero I want to
(12:36):
say Cala hero, his visioncreating always new recipes that
now Valarys valorize me first.
I've seen that.
I've never seen that wordbefore either.
Their guest expectations.
The name derives dumb Americans.
The name derives from the typeof animal, the Geovincia,
(12:59):
meaning heifer, heifer, heifer,yeah, that's why I mean that
Cala Ghetto's grandfather usedto used in his butcher shop and
which he himself and that makessense which he himself uses in
his restaurant.
Don't miss the meatballs madewith selected minced meat and a
(13:20):
particular processing method.
And your wine list here's thewine list featuring Sicilian and
Italian wines is extensive, asis the selection of craft and
non-craft beers.
Every day, open for lunch anddinner, closed on Sundays.

through this, of ingredientsfrom local farms and breeding
farms which he works with,without neglecting origin and
tradition, giving life dishesclosely linked to the land and
(15:11):
local culture.
Among these, it's worth tryingthe suckling pig.
You Attention to the needs ofhis guests also offers list for
(15:33):
those with gluten intoleranceand vegetarian pause.
Giving an extreme title likethat, which may be funny to us
and maybe not be funny to them,is what also brings you in to
try it.
Okay, let's be honest in themarketing is on point.
All right.
Hey, let me get some of thatsuckling pig.
I would definitely go there toget the suckling pig cube,
(15:55):
because I have no idea what thatis and it sounds awesome.
How bad could it be?
Yeah, I mean anything, anythingmeat wise, and that direction
is probably pretty good.
Every, every version of pig inmy experience has been great.
So, yeah, anyway, therestaurant.
The restaurant has a wide seller, curated by the chef and his
wife, sylvia, who, in additionto being a Smellier let's look
(16:21):
up the definition of that Idon't know what that.
That means.
Do-do-do-do is so ignorant.
Yeah, they're using.
They're using all these fancywords and we have to learn.
So we're gonna learn today,we're gonna learn, they're gonna

last one on the list is Sabia.
Is that seven, though?
And two, three, four, five.
No, that's what I said.
Okay, all right.
(17:48):
Sabia in Gala, the birthplace ofArchistratus.
Well, it's Italy, what'd youexpect?
A poet from the second half ofthe fourth century BC, whose
work, the life of gourmand, isconsidered the first gastronomic
guide in history.
You'll find that Sabiarestaurant chef todo Contania,

collaboration with the La Rosafamily and managing his

harmony between the flavors ofland and sea.

(19:50):
All right, the Last two.
We don't really have time to go.
Let's, let's do a few more,because we're we've got.
We won't.
We don't have time to go intodetail on these, but let's list.
We've got Dintro Le Marra,austria, copentana and Nia.

I have no idea, but is in thevillage of butra butra and
inside the Arab Norman castle.
So there's, there's another one.
If you want to eat inside acastle, there you go.
Oh, yes.
And then the other one isReese's.
It's in Reese's a Reset Reese's.
(20:33):
No, you're right, it's probablyReese's Muffle.
La Torreia, maybe La Teri,that's that sandwich looks there
.
It does look pretty sweet.
That's this one's a bistro,bistro sandwich.
That looks amazing.
So yeah, I would definitely trythose two.
Some other restaurants we got onGoogle here before we let out
(20:55):
with our next section, rattlethem off.
Yeah, I'm going to theRestaurant, a centro storico.
It's got some high ratingsPizzeria, a gusto, sal and Pepe
that came up on our list.
La Medina I don't make.
We thought salt and pepper whenI saw that La Medina.
Here's some other ones.
(21:15):
Jess, go ahead.
Loomi, the Cecilia, rist Rante,rist Rante, laurie, bella, papa
Alessandra I think what I waswhen we mentioned Yep, yep, rist
Rante, I'll eat Torino, thereyou go.
I Pizzeria too, I guess thesecond Molina restaurant.
And then we've got to Leah,which we talked about, to Leah
(21:39):
is there?
Yeah, la Pia dinner, dinnerinaand granny and pasta and many
more.
I mean, there's, there's a ton.
So go check it out for yourself.
And it looks like there's agrouping of restaurants,
probably like six or seven inthe north end and then down in
the south end.
We've got three or four out inthe middle of the country in
(22:01):
different areas.
So go check it out.
You can get to them all by lookslike highway 640.
So SS 640 takes you north andsouth.
It brings you through all ofthem.
Basically.
So, yeah, very easy access,very awesome place to go try out
(22:22):
and it is very beautiful.
And so we're going to talkabout some things to do in how
to do this.
I forgot about that already.
So just some rattling off, somethings to do that you might
want to do with your meals, wehave number one.
Or, for your meals, anotherfood and drink place is at Casa
(22:46):
de Silla and they're governingthat from like $100.
This is from TripAdvisor.
We probably skipped the rest ofthe list.
Yeah, this from TripAdvisor.
You've got your tours.
So we've got one tour, mountEtna and Taormina, catania,
which looks awesome, looks likea beautiful scenic tour.
(23:08):
The imagery is sweet.
That's why I picked it.
Mainly so many great pictures,private tour of Mount Etna in
the coastal village of Taorminaand compete after convenient
pickup at your hotel.
See lava flows and cratersbefore visits and Mount Etna,
then explore the elegant town ofTaormina, the views, the seas
(23:30):
and the mountains.
There you go, you can see lavaflows, that's you can reserve
for a group up to eight forabout 500 bucks per group.
So 500 bucks to get you up toeight people, that's pretty good
price.
That's pretty good price for afull day tour.
Heck, yeah, we've got our nextfull day.
(23:50):
I mean, that's pretty much allday.
Like you're talking a mountain,it says eight hours.
Yeah, how much is it?
Yeah, eight hours, pretty muchall day.
So there you go.
If you have another idea in mind, there is like, say, you wanted
to just spend part of your dayon Mount Etna.
(24:11):
There is a morning trip at nomorning trip.
So you want to spend a littlebit less money, go in the
morning.
It is about 65 bucks per person.
The max duration is six hours,but you can go in the morning
and have the rest of your day.
So there you go, says.
(24:32):
Mount Etna can get quite warm,which is mostly what people like
.
Right Today, if you want toknow what the temperature is
like, it is mid sixties, inlower sixties in Calteness at
that time.
That's so cold dude, probablycold to them.
It might be.
This is quite warm, though theymust still consider it warm.
(24:53):
This trip is perfect for hikersof all abilities and allows you
to see Mount Etna from manydifferent angles.
And what would you say?
Your ability is Pretty advanced, mine's probably mediocre.
Here we go.
How about now, at least?
How about, if you didn't wantto hike, we've got a boat tour.
Totally, this bay, mandela Bay,looks pretty awesome.
(25:16):
It looks gorgeous.
It kind of looks like a sceneout of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Oh, this is a pretty Okay.
So if you don't know boat tours,this is a pretty good price for
this amount of time becausethey, if you've never booked a
boat tour before, they do it byhours.
So they'll have three differentpackages available and you'll
(25:40):
book by how many hours.
This is 98 per adult for fourto five hours.
That'd be pretty crazy.
So you're talking like a fivehour trip for a hundred bucks.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
And especially if you look at,like in America, what our
fishing tours are, it'sridiculous.
It's like three to 500 bucks,so terrible.
(26:01):
Leave America again, let's seewhat you get.
So with this, you get a privateboat tour it looks like a local
who's doing it, which isawesome.
You get to see Palermo Palermo,which is, I believe, the city
from the sea, and get the tourwith Angela.
(26:22):
You get to spend all day on thesea sailing.
So there you go.
I wonder if that's Angela.
Probably not.
I mean, four to five hours isconsidered a half day trip, so
that's pretty good.
For a half day trip, a hundredbucks.
So yeah, and then we've gotwhat else?
We got, jess, highlights andhidden gems with locals.
(26:44):
This is Palermo, palermo, thecity we were just talking about.
I'm pretty sure I almostclicked on that initially, did
you?
Yeah, cause I was like, oh, pal, palermo.
I was going to make a joke like, ah, pal, we're all Palermo.
Well, this looks like a tour ofthe city.
You get three hours for 95bucks, and what's included with
this?
We've got Local and privateexperience.
(27:07):
Okay, so they're gonna take youaround the famous attractions
as well as trevors You'll neversee on the regular tours, plus
the traditional outdoor markets.
So Not a super long amount oftime, but you get to experience
their tourist destinations andthe hidden stuff and some of
their Outdoor markets.
So, genuinely, this wouldn't bemy favorite.
(27:30):
I'd want something more, but II am not bad if you're a tourist
in the area.
How about this one, theGodfather and Ormina tour from
missing?
Oh, I almost clicked on reserve.
We're gonna go today.
All right, now this is cool.
(27:52):
Look at these.
Feel full cactus, beautiful.
I wonder how they feel abouttourists.
Do they love tourists in Italy?
I'm not sure.
I probably not, because I cantotally see people being like
Haha, push in, the cat die.
I don't know.
I don't know like.
I know certain things aboutcertain countries, but I haven't
(28:13):
been to every country so Idon't know how each country
especially in 2024 how they taketourism.
I know that for a while Afterthe COVID pandemic, Japan was
not open to tourism, tourists ornot.
I'll look it up here in a minute.
Let's go over this.
(28:33):
So we've got a guided tour Froma Sina.
You got a day trip IncludingTaramina.
Okay, yep, about six hours, sothat's pretty good.
For a hundred bucks you get asix hours day tour and you get
to see attractions like filminglocations where they film the
(28:55):
godfather, and UNESCO WorldHeritage which that would be
super cool Says private vehicle.
So if you know the godfathermovie, here you go.
Here's your chance to seepersonally some of the locations
that they filmed from.
We've got more tours for etna.
(29:16):
We've got palmerna tours andthen, of course, the etna winery
tour.
If you are interested in wines,they have tons of wine tasting
experiences Starting from ahundred bucks to looks like
almost 300 bucks.
So there you go.
That's honestly that's all Igot on count in a set to.
(29:40):
So if you want a little that ahuge place, but it looked
interesting to me.
So it looks very beautiful.
It has wine and restaurants.
It's great.
It'd be great, like, if you'reespecially an outdoors person,
the whole area is surrounded byparks and mountains and forts
and castles and yes, so.
(30:02):
And then be able to take seatours as well, like to go on a
boat tour and stuff like a dream, sounds like a great getaway.
So if you are in the very areaof Italy, or if you're planning
a vacation Italy, consider, yeah, it seems pretty cool, it's fun
(30:22):
to say it.
You could be like, hey, wheredid you go?
And you tell your friends wewent to count in a set.
They're like, oh really, whatis that?
Why not say five?
Bra, let me tell you about Allright, well, you know, that's a
(30:44):
wrap for me.
Next time we're gonna dive into.

history won the Super Bowl.
I don't even think the chiefsone, I think Taylor Swift and
Kelsey.

It was such a setup, bro.
It was such a setup you'retelling me that they didn't plan
for the most famous couple inNFL history right now To win the
Super Bowl.
(31:26):
Come on now.

time because I say the NFL'srigged.

You think they were gonna letthe most famous NFL couple lose
(32:36):

Bowl once in NFL history.

Oh, it's bad.
If you ask the NFL what theyare, if you ask the NFL what
they are, they have saidmultiple times and I tell this
to my friends all the time theyjust roll their eyes.
The NFL classifies themselves asa sports Entertainment company.
Not a sports company, not asports industry.
(33:22):
Sports Entertainment.
Yeah, you know who else is anentertainment industry WWE.
Like, come on, it's not.
It can't get more obvious.
Now, I agree that a lot ofplayers are talented Okay, and a
(33:43):
lot of the crazy plays that wesee on TV are because they're so
talented, but you cannot tellme that they don't even have at
least an idea of who they wantto win Because of sports betting
and all that.
You can't tell me that.
You can't tell me, ever sincesports betting was invented,
there's always been a mafiabehind it.
Wow, it doesn't matter what itis like.
(34:05):
Look out throughout history,anything that's involved sports
betting.
There's been some organizationbehind it, I wouldn't surprise
me.
It's like going to the casinoand saying that they don't have
it rigged, like, come on, bro, Imean they totally.
The house always wins.
Nope, the house always wins.
I mean, we won a few times,yeah, but they're not letting
(34:29):
you walk out of there.
Come on now with the big buck,exactly If they do.

(02:29):
secrets.
So, if you visit this town orcity, we give you the best
tourist places to go to, thebest restaurants to surprise and
cave in at and the best placesto experience.
So hopefully we can help you dothat today with a very special
town that you found Because Iwas looking at the middle of the
(02:51):
map and I was like, okay,here's the middle, let's find
the middle of that.
And oh, look at this name.
This place has a remarkablehistory and a great location.
It's also very big in the areaof tourist destinations.
Because he's like, oh, this islegit, this is, yeah, like what?
What is the region that this isin?
(03:14):
Jess, sicily, sicily, italy.
So you're talking one of thebiggest tourist destinations of
Italy.
So I thought this was more thanappropriate and the name of the
town is Calteni Setta, CalteniSetta, which we had to look up
the renunciation of it, becausethat is how you say it, calteni
(03:34):
Setta.
I was mimicking the dude thatwas trying to do it.
Calteni Setta, the Googletranslation.
But yes, this is Calteni Setta,now, where we can find this
village, slash town.
Can we say it more likeaggressively, or I mean, I don't
(03:54):
care Calteni Setta, calteniSetta, calteni Setta.
I just wanted to try.
I had to see Calteni Setta.
When I travel across the world,I want to give you Calteni
Setta.
So here is Calteni Setta, in themiddle of Sicily.
Now, if you look around it,there is a lot of different
(04:19):
cities, but there's also a lotof scenery.
I see a lot of Castle parks.
I see a lot of greenery andforests, lakes and like that was
part of the reason I picked itReally beautiful scenery,
forests, yeah, it's pretty nice.
Like this would be a town thatI would say would be an awesome
getaway spot.
It should be on a magic garden,yeah, and honestly also a great
(04:43):
first date location.
Oh, dude, can you imagine liketaking a woman there and be like
and then tell your friendslater Where's the county?
Calteni Setta, calteni Setta,oh yeah, we went to Calteni
Setta.
I don't think she can get pastthe pronunciation.
She'd be like what They'd belike where it's awesome, all
(05:05):
right.
So this if you look it up onthe map, it's in Sicily, italy.
We'll see a lot of greenforests, like we said, around it
.
The biggest thing about CalteniSetta is was that it was
established.
Give me a second, I got to pullup my history here.
There was this one thetechnology.
The origins of Calteni Settacan be traced back to 406 BC,
(05:30):
when Admiral I don't know how topronounce this Nicaea, nicaea,
what, on Nicaea of Halmikarsiege force established a fort
at this site, later calledCastra Nicaea, which is Fort
Nicaea, if you want to look itup.
So ever since 406 BC, we cansee traces of history in this
(05:54):
area.
Keep it going成.
Appeals.
The two biggest things thatwe're going to talk about today
on this show is what you stuff,you digest, what you eat and
what to do.
What to do, because when youvisit a city or you're traveling
across the world, there'spretty much two things that
you're gonna be interested in.
You're gonna eat while you'reclimbing a castle wall exactly.
(06:15):
There's gonna be a corn dog inone hand and a pizza and the
other crepe.
In one hand, it's very American.
Crepes are good crepes, okay.
Well, we're gonna talk aboutsome of the food they got here.
I'll add something to the handwhen we see it.
Yeah, we're gonna talk aboutsome of the food we got here and
(06:36):
we're gonna talk about some ofthe cool things to do in Calte
Nezeta.
Oh, I got it.
It's time so for my thing.
So let's start off first off.
Okay, so this article we foundwas according to a gamboro rosso
, which is this food site.
Now, they could be biased.
I don't know, they are verybiased.
(06:58):
They did pick out some fancyplaces.
Now, mind you, we're gonna goover these seven and also some
of the ones that we found onGoogle Maps that have high
ratings.
So here's the seven bestrestaurants in Calte Nezeta,
according to gamboro rosso,where to eat in Calte Nezeta.
To Leia now, this is that the?
(07:20):
Is that the first one or isthat just the?
No, no, that's not the purple.
Yeah, that's what I'm lookingat.
To Leia bold, yeah, yeah, okay.
So they just okay.
The reason why this isconfusing us?
Because the name of therestaurant area is the same bold
(07:43):
print as the name of the yeahsee as the name of the title.
So all right.
This brasserie, located in VillaLibertad, carlo Pecoraro now
you're gonna have to bear withus.

Hey, look at that young talent.
They're bringing in youngpeople there we go, who convey
their passion and love in everysingle dish.
The wine and beer listpredominantly features Sicilian
(08:48):
products to highlight the localarea while not neglecting the
rest of Italy and abroad.

(10:44):
exclusive tastings and dinnersare available upon request,
houses a meticulous, ameticulous selection of wines
from Sicily, all over Italy andaround the world, including a
preference for champagne.
Okay.
So what I open daily, what I'vegathered so far with this city
is especially in Italy and thisis a big thing with Italy period
(11:06):
but especially in a count in aset up.
They are big on wine, likenearly every restaurant has wine
selections.
So, yeah, that's, if you'redefinitely looking for a place
to try wine, add, count in a set.
That's your list.
Looks like there's a lot andthere's the picture that it.
(11:28):
That was exactly what theydescribed like what?
Like an open soap that they'reeating, yeah, on a bed of pearls
.
Look at that.
It's like glass, but it's foodthat's delicious.

Look at this.
Good luck saying that, joeVince Machelli in Susina I don't
(11:51):
know if I pronounce that right,that was cookies, honestly,
cookies in a casino.
Maybe, I don't know, in thecity's expanding area today, it
doesn't matter.
We're gonna go there and we'regonna eat and have a good time
in the city's expanding areacalled Cala Ghetto of Enchata.
After learning of the butcheringtrade in his father's and

grandfather's shop, hisventura's dad yeah, pretty much
opened his restaurant to sharehis great passion for me with
guests.
It's a place where people caneat well, feel at home, enjoy
dishes of both local and foreignmeats selected directly from
his butcher shop.
In the kitchen, angela Ruizzoshares Cala, cala hero I want to
(12:36):
say Cala hero, his visioncreating always new recipes that
now Valarys valorize me first.
I've seen that.
I've never seen that wordbefore either.
Their guest expectations.
The name derives dumb Americans.
The name derives from the typeof animal, the Geovincia,
(12:59):
meaning heifer, heifer, heifer,yeah, that's why I mean that
Cala Ghetto's grandfather usedto used in his butcher shop and
which he himself and that makessense which he himself uses in
his restaurant.
Don't miss the meatballs madewith selected minced meat and a
(13:20):
particular processing method.
And your wine list here's thewine list featuring Sicilian and
Italian wines is extensive, asis the selection of craft and
non-craft beers.
Every day, open for lunch anddinner, closed on Sundays.
And you really miss meatballs,though.
No Chick-fil-A Sundays.
I mean, meatballs is prettygood, meatballs is pretty good.

something, maybe what fried icecream?

His cuisine is based onresearch, seasonality to make it
through this, of ingredientsfrom local farms and breeding
farms which he works with,without neglecting origin and
tradition, giving life dishesclosely linked to the land and
(15:11):
local culture.
Among these, it's worth tryingthe suckling pig.
You Attention to the needs ofhis guests also offers list for
(15:33):
those with gluten intoleranceand vegetarian pause.
Giving an extreme title likethat, which may be funny to us
and maybe not be funny to them,is what also brings you in to
try it.
Okay, let's be honest in themarketing is on point.
All right.
Hey, let me get some of thatsuckling pig.
I would definitely go there toget the suckling pig cube,
(15:55):
because I have no idea what thatis and it sounds awesome.
How bad could it be?
Yeah, I mean anything, anythingmeat wise, and that direction
is probably pretty good.
Every, every version of pig inmy experience has been great.
So, yeah, anyway, therestaurant.
The restaurant has a wide seller, curated by the chef and his
wife, sylvia, who, in additionto being a Smellier let's look
(16:21):
up the definition of that Idon't know what that.
That means.
Do-do-do-do is so ignorant.
Yeah, they're using.
They're using all these fancywords and we have to learn.

Yeah, one more.

(17:24):
Yeah, this is the last one onthis list.
Those, this one's for adifferent area, see, all right,
last one on the list is Sabia.
Is that seven, though?
And two, three, four, five.
No, that's what I said.
Okay, all right.
(17:48):
Sabia in Gala, the birthplace ofArchistratus.
Well, it's Italy, what'd youexpect?
A poet from the second half ofthe fourth century BC, whose
work, the life of gourmand, isconsidered the first gastronomic
guide in history.
You'll find that Sabiarestaurant chef todo Contania,
(18:13):
known in the catering worldthrough Appetiting appetiting I
don't know, it's probably notright, but has recently begun a
collaboration with the La Rosafamily and managing his

His cuisine is Mediterranean.
There we go, original andinnovative, featuring both meat
and seafood dishes hey, there's,there's my seafood Along with
(18:37):

It's characterized by aconstant quest for balance and
harmony between the flavors ofland and sea.
The menu is a la carte I preferthe land and there are also
seafood and meat tasting menusSeafood and meat tasting menus
that change with the seasons.
Among the must-taste dishes onthe menu is saffron risotto with
(19:00):
Seafood and sage flowers pageflowers.
I wonder if we're doing a sageProbably, who's called, whose
color recalls the golden beachesof the gala.
The dining area features an openkitchen and vintage deep design

The wine cellar offers Sicilianand national labels.
(19:22):
Open for dinner from Tuesday toSaturday, open for lunch on
Sundays and closed on Mondays.
You gotta know that schedule.
Nobody likes Mondays anyway, sothey're just skipping it.
Look at us.
We're recording on a Monday,yeah, day, I mean today.
(19:50):
All right, the Last two.
We don't really have time to go.
Let's, let's do a few more,because we're we've got.
We won't.
We don't have time to go intodetail on these, but let's list.
We've got Dintro Le Marra,austria, copentana and Nia.
(20:11):
I have no idea, but is in thevillage of butra butra and
inside the Arab Norman castle.
So there's, there's another one.
If you want to eat inside acastle, there you go.
Oh, yes.
And then the other one isReese's.
It's in Reese's a Reset Reese's.
(20:33):
No, you're right, it's probablyReese's Muffle.
La Torreia, maybe La Teri,that's that sandwich looks there
.
It does look pretty sweet.
That's this one's a bistro,bistro sandwich.
That looks amazing.
So yeah, I would definitely trythose two.
Some other restaurants we got onGoogle here before we let out
(20:55):
with our next section, rattlethem off.
Yeah, I'm going to theRestaurant, a centro storico.
It's got some high ratingsPizzeria, a gusto, sal and Pepe
that came up on our list.
La Medina I don't make.
We thought salt and pepper whenI saw that La Medina.
Here's some other ones.
(21:15):
Jess, go ahead.
Loomi, the Cecilia, rist Rante,rist Rante, laurie, bella, papa
Alessandra I think what I waswhen we mentioned Yep, yep, rist
Rante, I'll eat Torino, thereyou go.
I Pizzeria too, I guess thesecond Molina restaurant.
And then we've got to Leah,which we talked about, to Leah
(21:39):
is there?
Yeah, la Pia dinner, dinnerinaand granny and pasta and many
more.
I mean, there's, there's a ton.
So go check it out for yourself.
And it looks like there's agrouping of restaurants,
probably like six or seven inthe north end and then down in
the south end.
We've got three or four out inthe middle of the country in
(22:01):
different areas.
So go check it out.
You can get to them all by lookslike highway 640.
So SS 640 takes you north andsouth.
It brings you through all ofthem.
Basically.
So, yeah, very easy access,very awesome place to go try out
(22:22):
and it is very beautiful.
And so we're going to talkabout some things to do in how
to do this.
I forgot about that already.
So just some rattling off, somethings to do that you might
want to do with your meals, wehave number one.
Or, for your meals, anotherfood and drink place is at Casa
(22:46):
de Silla and they're governingthat from like $100.
This is from TripAdvisor.
We probably skipped the rest ofthe list.
Yeah, this from TripAdvisor.
You've got your tours.
So we've got one tour, mountEtna and Taormina, catania,
which looks awesome, looks likea beautiful scenic tour.
(23:08):
The imagery is sweet.
That's why I picked it.
Mainly so many great pictures,private tour of Mount Etna in
the coastal village of Taorminaand compete after convenient
pickup at your hotel.
See lava flows and cratersbefore visits and Mount Etna,
then explore the elegant town ofTaormina, the views, the seas
(23:30):
and the mountains.
There you go, you can see lavaflows, that's you can reserve
for a group up to eight forabout 500 bucks per group.
So 500 bucks to get you up toeight people, that's pretty good
price.
That's pretty good price for afull day tour.
Heck, yeah, we've got our nextfull day.
(23:50):
I mean, that's pretty much allday.
Like you're talking a mountain,it says eight hours.
Yeah, how much is it?
Yeah, eight hours, pretty muchall day.
So there you go.
If you have another idea in mind, there is like, say, you wanted
to just spend part of your dayon Mount Etna.
(24:11):
There is a morning trip at nomorning trip.
So you want to spend a littlebit less money, go in the
morning.
It is about 65 bucks per person.
The max duration is six hours,but you can go in the morning
and have the rest of your day.
So there you go, says.
(24:32):
Mount Etna can get quite warm,which is mostly what people like
.
Right Today, if you want toknow what the temperature is
like, it is mid sixties, inlower sixties in Calteness at
that time.
That's so cold dude, probablycold to them.
It might be.
This is quite warm, though theymust still consider it warm.
(24:53):
This trip is perfect for hikersof all abilities and allows you
to see Mount Etna from manydifferent angles.
And what would you say?
Your ability is Pretty advanced, mine's probably mediocre.
Here we go.
How about now, at least?
How about, if you didn't wantto hike, we've got a boat tour.
Totally, this bay, mandela Bay,looks pretty awesome.
(25:16):
It looks gorgeous.
It kind of looks like a sceneout of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Oh, this is a pretty Okay.
So if you don't know boat tours,this is a pretty good price for
this amount of time becausethey, if you've never booked a
boat tour before, they do it byhours.
So they'll have three differentpackages available and you'll
(25:40):
book by how many hours.
This is 98 per adult for fourto five hours.
That'd be pretty crazy.
So you're talking like a fivehour trip for a hundred bucks.
That's pretty good.
That's pretty good.
And especially if you look at,like in America, what our
fishing tours are, it'sridiculous.
It's like three to 500 bucks,so terrible.
(26:01):
Leave America again, let's seewhat you get.
So with this, you get a privateboat tour it looks like a local
who's doing it, which isawesome.
You get to see Palermo Palermo,which is, I believe, the city
from the sea, and get the tourwith Angela.
(26:22):
You get to spend all day on thesea sailing.
So there you go.
I wonder if that's Angela.
Probably not.
I mean, four to five hours isconsidered a half day trip, so
that's pretty good.
For a half day trip, a hundredbucks.
So yeah, and then we've gotwhat else?
We got, jess, highlights andhidden gems with locals.
(26:44):
This is Palermo, palermo, thecity we were just talking about.
I'm pretty sure I almostclicked on that initially, did
you?
Yeah, cause I was like, oh, pal, palermo.
I was going to make a joke like, ah, pal, we're all Palermo.
Well, this looks like a tour ofthe city.
You get three hours for 95bucks, and what's included with
this?
We've got Local and privateexperience.
(27:07):
Okay, so they're gonna take youaround the famous attractions
as well as trevors You'll neversee on the regular tours, plus
the traditional outdoor markets.
So Not a super long amount oftime, but you get to experience
their tourist destinations andthe hidden stuff and some of
their Outdoor markets.
So, genuinely, this wouldn't bemy favorite.
(27:30):
I'd want something more, but II am not bad if you're a tourist
in the area.
How about this one, theGodfather and Ormina tour from
missing?
Oh, I almost clicked on reserve.
We're gonna go today.
All right, now this is cool.
(27:52):
Look at these.
Feel full cactus, beautiful.
I wonder how they feel abouttourists.
Do they love tourists in Italy?
I'm not sure.
I probably not, because I cantotally see people being like
Haha, push in, the cat die.
I don't know.
I don't know like.
I know certain things aboutcertain countries, but I haven't
(28:13):
been to every country so Idon't know how each country
especially in 2024 how they taketourism.
I know that for a while Afterthe COVID pandemic, Japan was
not open to tourism, tourists ornot.

Let's go over this.
(28:33):
So we've got a guided tour Froma Sina.
You got a day trip IncludingTaramina.
Okay, yep, about six hours, sothat's pretty good.
For a hundred bucks you get asix hours day tour and you get
to see attractions like filminglocations where they film the
(28:55):
godfather, and UNESCO WorldHeritage which that would be
super cool Says private vehicle.
So if you know the godfathermovie, here you go.

that they filmed from.
We've got more tours for etna.
(29:16):

tour.
If you are interested in wines,they have tons of wine tasting
experiences Starting from ahundred bucks to looks like
almost 300 bucks.
So there you go.
That's honestly that's all Igot on count in a set to.
(29:40):
So if you want a little that ahuge place, but it looked
interesting to me.
So it looks very beautiful.
It has wine and restaurants.
It's great.
It'd be great, like, if you'reespecially an outdoors person,
the whole area is surrounded byparks and mountains and forts
and castles and yes, so.
(30:02):
And then be able to take seatours as well, like to go on a
boat tour and stuff like a dream, sounds like a great getaway.
So if you are in the very areaof Italy, or if you're planning
a vacation Italy, consider, yeah, it seems pretty cool, it's fun
(30:22):

history won the Super Bowl.
I don't even think the chiefsone, I think Taylor Swift and
Kelsey.

It was such a setup, bro.
It was such a setup you'retelling me that they didn't plan
for the most famous couple inNFL history right now To win the
Super Bowl.
(31:26):
Come on now.
I never expected her to getwith a football player, that's
for sure.
Like they have those they havejust unusual because you have
the T-Swift fans, and like she'sbrought in millions for the NFL
, you think, yeah, that wouldn'tbe a thing where they just play

And it was a perfect Cinderellastory.
It was, the chiefs were down,I'm telling you, the chiefs were
(31:53):

celebrates and Taylor Swiftcomes down and kisses her fiance
or whatever, and blah, blah,blah, fiance, I don't know,

time because I say the NFL'srigged.

Bowl once in NFL history.

If you ask the NFL what theyare, if you ask the NFL what
they are, they have saidmultiple times and I tell this

Not a sports company, not asports industry.
(33:22):
Sports Entertainment.

It can't get more obvious.
Now, I agree that a lot ofplayers are talented Okay, and a
(33:43):
lot of the crazy plays that wesee on TV are because they're so
talented, but you cannot tellme that they don't even have at
least an idea of who they wantto win Because of sports betting
and all that.
You can't tell me that.
You can't tell me, ever sincesports betting was invented,
there's always been a mafiabehind it.
Wow, it doesn't matter what itis like.
(34:05):
Look out throughout history,anything that's involved sports
betting.
There's been some organizationbehind it, I wouldn't surprise
me.
It's like going to the casinoand saying that they don't have
it rigged, like, come on, bro, Imean they totally.
The house always wins.
Nope, the house always wins.
I mean, we won a few times,yeah, but they're not letting
(34:29):
you walk out of there.
