A la Carte Menu

Territory without borders

For us, summer is a time when the light grows generous and the earth yields everything it has carefully guarded through the winter. It is a season that refuses to be rushed, asking instead to be lived with open eyes and a light spirit.

At Casa & Putìa, we have chosen to celebrate this time of year with a menu that isn’t just a list of courses, but a fluid narrative without borders. Often, cuisine has accustomed us to rigid enclosures: appetizers, first courses, main courses. We have preferred to tear down these walls to offer you a horizontal menu.

Why this choice? Because we believe that taste should have no hierarchies. In a summer that tastes of the sea and the garden, inspiration can come from the freshness of a newly picked vegetable just as easily as from the brininess of the catch of the day. Our proposal invites you to create your own personal journey, free from fixed patterns: you can choose to share several small plates in the center of the table, or let yourself be guided by a single theme, moving freely between flavors.

The pulse of this menu is proximity.

For us, “near” is not just a geographical distance; it is a human value. It means knowing the hands of those who grew these tomatoes, the voice of the fisherman who brings us the treasures of our sea, and the dedication of the small producer who guards ancient traditions in their putìa.

Every ingredient you find has been chosen because it tells the truth of our territory at its peak. Sitting at our table means embracing this welcoming horizon. We invite you to forget the “classic order of things” and enjoy the pleasure of discovery. Choose with curiosity, savor with slowness, and let summer do the rest.

Welcome home.

- Cooks Alliance & Slow Food Presidia

Casa & Putia Restaurant is actively involved in the project Slow Food Cooks’ Alliance. The “Alleanza”, or alliance, is a solidarity network, that promotes local food and traditional cooking methods and brings together organisations and food producers who support the Slow Food philosophy therefore creating communities of like minded people. All this guarantees good, genuine, natural and ecological food, whilst also respecting those who have produced, cultivated and bred it. The Slow Food’s alliance brings together, supports and protects local small business to continue to produce high quality food whilst remembering and honouring traditional methods, therefore preserving them for future generations.

- The Ark of Taste: preserving biodiversity

Products marked with the ∆ symbol in our menu belong to Slow Food’s Ark of Taste, a project dedicated to cataloging and protecting exceptional products at risk of disappearing. By choosing these ingredients, we commit to:

-Preserving the biodiversity of our land.
-Honoring the work of small-scale farmers and artisan “guardians”.
-Bringing to your plate authentic stories, forgotten aromas, and the true Sicilian identity.

- Sicilia in Dispensa: the taste of memories

The restaurant also contains a small shop, selling typical Sicilian products, some of which are produced directly by us. With these products we want you to learn more about Sicily, share and witness our love of ancient and unique Sicilian recipes and to support passionate food producers. These products are a great way to keep Sicily with you at home, in your pantry, and to enable you to take our authentic flavors and aromas back to your tables. See our products.
