Skip the morning heat and join us for a relaxing 3hr walk in the backstreets of Catania. Your local guide will walk you around her favorite food spots to try the traditional street food, such as the baked cipollina, the horse meatballs, some tasty fish recipes and finally ends with the refreshing granita. This is an off the beaten path walking tour. You will try foods you would hardly find on your own like the super crispy crispellas or the horse meatballs! This is the ideal experience for adventurous travelers who want to discover the local culture and avoid touristy stuff!
The local street food consists of snacks served in deli shops and eaten by hand. You'll get quality and quantity!
NOT ONLY FOOD!
We will also talk about history, traditions and daily habits, discussing both lights and shadows of living in Sicily. We will show you some interesting hidden spots in the city. Take it as a night tasty walk with your Catanese friend. You bring your smile, we'll bring the magic!

A good introduction to Catania’s street food, based around stops at five different establishments. The guide, Gisella, was enthusiastic and well-informed, and worked hard to develop the atmosphere of the evening among the group who were quite a cosmopolitan mix. The venues were well spaced out (and the arrangements not always as slick as on other such tours I have been on elsewhere), but offered a good variety of tastings. Being picky, the diversion early in the evening to the Castello Ursino was perhaps a bit superfluous.

This was a wonderful time. We tried a variety of foods and the walk was very easy. We were not rushed that allowed us to enjoy everything. Our guide provided an historical insight to thr foods and Sicily.

I really enjoyed the Sicilian food.
Cipollina, arancino, fried fish and horse meat were simply delicious!
Agata, our guide, was fantastic and passionate about Sicilian food culture!
Highly recommend for anyone who wants to have a real local food experience in Catania.
