A Gem from volcano Etna

Ambassador of Mount Etna and its excellencies. Sabir was the ancient language of Mare Nostrum, used for centuries in the ports of the Mediterranean Sea as a means of communication. And this is the language that chef Sorbello uses in his dishes, talking precisely about that fusion of tastes, perfumes and sensations of the Jonic coast and his sea. Dishes following raw materials’ seasonality, and inspired to the fruits of the Volcano with its spontaneous herbs. Every dish is the result of a symbiotic relation, aimed at catching every aspect, every change in this land.

It is a cuisine that can be defined as a sensory journey.
And this is our invitation for you to embark on it.

Symphony of senses.

It must be immediately said – Seby Sorbello explains – that lovers of taste and culinary emotions have long appreciated our way of introducing Sicily and Etna in our dishes and recipes.

With Sabir the Restaurant our aim was to create an added value of senses: sight, taste, smell, so that all those typical and excellent products from our Island can be expressed, in a real culinary symphony”.

Chef Seby Sorbello’s culinary tradition is a real sensory journey, through Volcano specialties.

What they say about us

Colourful, Mediterranean cuisine, at times creative, though always on a local basis, in a beautiful restaurant that borrows its name from an ancient idiom used in Mediterranean ports: a kind of Esperanto for maritime traders. In summer, opt for the cool, romantic service in the park.

Seby Sorbello's Etna, where cuisine speaks Sabir. Etna's boom has invested Zafferana, where for two years Seby Sorbello has been running a pure gastronomic restaurant: it expresses unparalleled gastronomic deposits, declined in the lingua franca of the Mediterranean

Alessandra MeldolesiReporter Gourmet

Summing up, sea, countryside, ‘a muntagna’ (Mount Etna), many good gastro-delirant wines and no geographic limits, but rather a great lightness, the result of great craftsmanship, with the added bonus of a very careful and happy hand in intelligently combining everything, and finally that pleasant touch (a whisper in fact) of Sicilian chauvinism that suits us well.

the result is more than satisfactory: a series of well-constructed tastings demonstrating the professionalism now acquired

Luigi CremonaWITALY - Porzioni Cremona

"Here, Sorbello has created a cuisine that exalts not only Sicilian food, but the specialties of Etna. That one could spend a lifetime attempting only to understand and represent one microcosm of the region is indicative of vast agricultural specificities."
