Spring flavors at Il Castello: the menu meets Masseria Sant'Elia

In the heart of the Madonie, in Petralia Sottana, the cuisine of Il Castello tells every day of a deep connection with the territory, the seasons and local raw ingredients.

The new menu proposal gives special value to the flavors of the Madonie spring, with dishes born from the encounter between traditional cuisine, products from the woods and ingredients grown directly at Masseria Sant'Elia, an agricultural reality connected to the same family and located within the Madonie Park.

Among the most representative dishes, the fresh pasta with carbonara cream, wild asparagus and crispy guanciale stands out: a rich and fragrant recipe, where the wild asparagus from the Madonie woods brings all the character of the season to the plate.

Alongside this proposal, the menu also presents the fresh pasta with a velvety cream of peas, broad beans, artichokes and wild fennel from Masseria Sant'Elia, a first course that perfectly expresses the idea of cuisine at Il Castello: simple, authentic, connected to the land and capable of transforming local ingredients into a sincere and recognizable taste experience.

Masseria Sant'Elia is not just a name on the menu, but a living part of the gastronomic project. From here come vegetables, preserves, tomatoes, seasonal produce and raw ingredients that travel from the countryside to the kitchen, keeping the relationship between agriculture and the table intact.

This connection can also be found in many other proposals from the restaurant and pizzeria: from the tomato passata of Masseria Sant'Elia to grilled vegetables, from caponata to the toppings used on the pizzas, every element helps build a story made of quality, tradition and territory.

Those who choose Il Castello can enjoy a complete experience: discovering Petralia Sottana and the High Madonie, tasting authentic cuisine and sitting at the table in a place where every dish preserves something of the landscape that surrounds it.
