Sicily's climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters, and the peak season runs June to September, so spring and autumn meals tend to be quieter. Italian island cooking leans on seafood, handmade pasta, olive oil and local wines, which shapes what appears on tables across the region. Arriving on Italy's islands is possible by plane, ferry or hydrofoil from the mainland, so the journey can be made over water or through the air. Italian serves as the everyday language across the island, which makes reading a menu or asking for directions manageable for many travellers. Palermo and Catania sit among the nearby places, so the restaurant fits naturally into a wider island itinerary.
