Discover Our Handcrafted Cocktails at Antica Trattoria
At Antica Trattoria, we’re proud to bring the vibrant flavors of Sicilian cuisine to San Diego. Our Sicilian Specialties menu includes two iconic dishes that showcase the heart of Sicilian cooking: Parmigiana di Melenzane and Arancini. Both dishes are filled with tradition, bold flavors, and a perfect balance of textures that will transport you straight to the Mediterranean.
Parmigiana di Melenzane: A Sicilian Classic
Our Parmigiana di Melenzane is a true Sicilian classic. Sicilian-style eggplant is lightly fried, then layered with San Marzano tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, and fragrant basil. This dish is baked to perfection, with the flavors melding together in a comforting, hearty, and utterly satisfying way. The sweetness of the tomato sauce perfectly complements the richness of the eggplant and cheese, making it a must-try for any Italian food lover.
Arancini: Golden Crispy Rice Balls
No Sicilian meal is complete without Arancini — crispy rice balls filled with meat sauce, mozzarella, and Parmigiano. These golden delights are deep-fried to perfection, creating a crispy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the soft, savory filling inside. Served with a side of tomato sauce for dipping, these Arancini are perfect as a starter, snack, or sharing plate.
A Taste of Sicily, Right Here in San Diego
Both of these dishes offer a taste of Sicily’s rich culinary traditions, where the use of fresh, simple ingredients is key to creating exceptional flavors. Whether you’re enjoying the Parmigiana di Melenzane or savoring the crispy crunch of Arancini, you’ll find each bite brimming with Sicilian charm.
