ONE CAN GO 2 MILES IN ITALY AND THE FOOD WILL CHANGE. IT' LIKE BEING BORN AND RAISED IN A SCILIAN FAMILY IN MAINE AND COMING TO SCALIS TO EAT. THE FOOD IN SICILY IS QUITE DIFFERENT FORM THE NORTHERN PART OF ITALY.. HERE LIES THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GREAT MEAL AT SCALI'S (NORTHERN CUISINE) AND EATING AT AN ITALIAN RESTURANT THAT HAS A SICILIAN CUISINE. THE LIGHT SAUCE IS ALL THEY HAVE IN NORTHERN ITALY. THE MARANA IS A SCICILIAN CREATION. THE REAL SCICILIAN SAUCE IS NORMALLY LOADED WITH THE HEAD OF A CHICKEN, HOOVES OF A PIG, CHICKEN FEET, ETC. SCALI'S MAKES A SCILIAN TYPE MARANA WITHOUT THE UNEATDIBLES BUT IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT SAUCE IS DELICIOUS, ESPECIALLY WITH GNOCHI AND MEATBALLS..
