Strazzanti Sicily Experiences
Strazzanti Sicily Experiences
Scicli
Strazzanti was created by the 3 Strazzanti sisters with our youngest sister & professional Chef Emilia leading the experiences directly in Sicily. We continue the story and memories of our grandparents who taught us everything about our Sicilian and Neapolitan heritage. Growing up we understood our Italian heritage through them as people, their stories and by sharing, eating and cooking the dishes that they grew up with from their homeland and using the ingredients that our relatives would send to us in England from Sicily & Naples in small parcels. When our grandparents left us, it reinforced as a family that what they taught and shared with us is a huge part of our cultural identity, and we could not risk that heritage disappearing. Together as a family and working with other Sicilian families our passion is to give back to the land and work with like-minded young entrepreneurs, landowners and farmers in Sicily to keep this heritage and Sicilian traditions, which we all lovingly grew up with, alive.

Roma
Modern Rome, the capital of Italy, has been said to have one foot in the past and one in the present, with 2,000-year-old relics right next to ultra-glam fashions and society. We mirror that feeling at our Italian Hard Rock Cafe location with an upbeat, modern feel, super cool Hard Rock merchandise, and a veritable colosseum of music memorabilia. A few touches of classical Rome will remind you of the amazing destination you’re visiting, such as elaborately painted ceilings and Corinthian-style columns.
