Overview

Catania is the street food capital of Sicily. With a local foodie guide you will walk from Piazza Duomo and its lava-stone elephant to the noisy fish market, tasting along the way the best arancini, savoury pastries and fresh fruit.

We end at a historic kiosk with a lemon and salt seltz, the city’s favourite drink, and a cannolo filled on the spot.

Why go?

Food is the best way to understand Catania: loud, generous and full of character.
