Nonna Maria's Arancini

From Afternoons, 3:08 pm on 5 May 2023

For a few nights in May, Liberty restaurant transforms into 'Osteria Liberta' with a simple Sicilian menu inspired by the flavours of his childhood growing up in Sicily. 

Restaurant Manager, Pietro Boscia has found a way to share the food memories of his youth, serving all the dishes his beloved Nonna Maria taught him to cook as a boy.

She was particularly famous for Arancini filled with her special Bolognese sauce.

You can find out how to recreate this Sicilian delicacy at home here
