My wife and I visited Ortigia last month and had been in search for a pair of ceramic Moor heads ever since we had seen them in Amalfi a couple of years ago. We traveled through Palermo and Taormina before finally finding Domenica's beautiful shop. We entered her shop and she was so gracious and kind to show us around. She really took the time to talk to us about her work and we could instantly feel how incredibly special her pieces were. We knew we had found the perfect person and store to purchase our Moor heads from! We purchased 2 of them along with some other items and they were promptly delivered (and safely) to Houston, Texas.

We absolutely loved supporting her. One day, I would love to commission her to make beautiful dishes for our home. Highly recommend you stop in...

We bought a beautiful platter from her and will get a set of espresso cups soon. We will definetly continue purchasing from her! Their shop is not in a well known area of Ortigia, but the city is small so...
