Overview

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 savoring the amazing street food 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.

You also have the option to choose the evening tour, departing at 5:00 PM. The tour begins with a visit to the Benedictine Monastery, followed by an aperitif featuring horse meat and wine at sunset in the historic setting of Ursino Castle before reaching Piazza Duomo to enjoy the traditional arancino. Finally, the sweet part of the tour will take you through a selection of Sicilian pastry delicacies, including the famous ricotta cannolo, cassatella, and almond paste during the winter months, or refreshing Sicilian granita during the summer months.
