ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Citrus is a symbol of luxury and hospitality in southern Italy, particularly in Sicily from where the Cicala family emigrated. It is also a dedication to Joe Cicala’s great-grandmother, Clementina. The snake represents Angizia, the pagan snake goddess of the Marsi tribe who inhabited Angela Cicala’s familiar region of Abruzzo.
We are proud to serve authentic family recipes, rooted in the folklore and traditions of Italy’s southern regions.
Benvenuti e buon appettio!

POP UP PASTICCERIA
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11
11AM - 2PM
One of our favorite moments in Italy is the daily morning walk to the village's pasticceria (pastry shop) or forno, (bakery), to pick up warm bread, fresh from a wood-fired oven and a bundle of sweets, wrapped in pretty paper and string.
Stop by our pop-up pasticceria as we recreate this simple pleasure, for authentic Italian sweets to take home.
