What to expect

Take part in this walking tour through the bustling markets and historical squares of the city centre of Catania to taste the best street food of the city. To visit Catania without savouring its amazing street food that is available at all hours, from dawn to night, would mean not to have a true vision of the city. The street food of Catania has a true cult following. The city is now a must for all gourmets and food lovers.

The walking tour offers you a historical overview of the city, of the alleys and the squares of the old town, whilst giving you the chance to sample some of its culinary delights. You will meet your local guide in the city centre, in Piazza Duomo 18 , jewel of Sicilian Baroque and UNESCO heritage, where you will visit the Cathedral. From here you will head to the quaint fish market, better known as 'la pescheria', where you will taste local cheeses, olives and some exquisiteness in oil.A short stroll and you will reach the famous Bar Savia, which serves the best arancini in Catania, while at the Bakery Pacini the much-loved cipollina awaits you (a speciality of Catania made with puff pastry, tomato, onion, mozzarella and ham). Crossing 'la fiera' - the local name for the biggest market of the city - you will arrive at the finest kiosk of Catania: the Chiosco Costa. Here you will taste the typical fizzy drink made from fresh Selz and syrups, all freshly prepared.

    Nuestra guía Alexandra, además de explicarnos la historia y todo lo relacionado con lo qué degustamos (demasiada comida, no escatiman en nada!), nos contó muchas particularidades de la ciudad. Fue una experiencia genial, con una guía excepcional! Ya quiero hacer otra excursión con Uds.!

    Irene our guide was lovely. Really informative and not just about food but also the history of Catania and Sicily. Gave some really good suggestions of which areas had the best restaurants. Great introduction to different types of local dishes.
