We had the pleasure of an amazing Sicilian dinner prepared by chef Mary Ann. Not only was the food incredible, but Mary Ann also made the entire evening so enjoyable. She was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate and knowledgeable about Sicilian cuisine. It was a true culinary experience, and we can't wait to do it again. Highly recommend!
