The story
Hidden on a cobblestone corner of Randazzo’s historic center, Gli Antichi Sapori is the kind of trattoria that rewards those who know to look for it. The restaurant has earned a 4.8 rating from locals and visitors alike, leaning into the timeless appeal of Sicilian home cooking.
Salvo Guarneri highlights the kitchen’s patience: fresh pasta is paired with a sauce that simmers for five hours. The signature dish—Pasta Fresca con Sugo di Melanzane Fritte e Ragù di Carne—layers fried eggplant with a slow-cooked meat ragù, proving that the best traditions come from simply trusting the clock.
