Caponata, one of Antica Bottega Siciliana's offerings

This sweet and sour delight, of which there are at least thirty-five variations, consisting of eggplant, tomato, celery, onion, olives, capers, and a unique sauce of sugar and vinegar, is a wholly Sicilian tale of scents, ingredients, and unique traditions.

The origin of the caponata has been lost in time, but it is said that the term derives from "capone", referring to the prized fish, lambfish.

The secrets of the caponata from Antica Bottega Siciliana lie in the careful selection of ingredients and their combination following the natural rhythms of the seasons.
