The chef
Angelo Pumilia
Angelo Pumilia has been the Executive Chef at La Foresteria since 2009. With culinary experiences around the world, he has also served as Chef Counselor for Prior Holding in Japan since 2012. For Planeta Estate Hospitality, he creates the menus for Insula Beach Club and Planeta Country House. A curious traveler, Angelo bases his cuisine on the harmony of two distinct influences: a deep connection to his native land of Sciacca and the refined techniques of Japanese cuisine. This unique combination is reflected in a constantly evolving gastronomic offering, original and unforgettable.
Savoring excellence
In the heart of Sicily, our cuisine is a journey between memory and innovation, a meeting of past and present, of local tradition and global inspiration. Our menu pays tribute to tradition, inspired by the Monsù—the refined chefs of Sicily’s noble houses—who, with skill and mastery, have passed down timeless recipes. Alongside these iconic dishes, Chef Angelo Pumilia offers a path of flavors that blends local ingredients with contemporary techniques and creative influences, crafting an authentic and surprising gastronomic experience. Let yourself be guided on this journey of taste, where every flavor tells a story and captures a fragment of Sicily.
