The Catania street food tour is a relaxing 3hr walk around the main attractions and secret spots of the city center to taste the most authentic local street foods. The walking tour has been designed for real foodies and curious travelers who want to discover the city of Catania, its cuisine, and its culture the way it is, without any touristy filter. While tasting top-quality local street food and some freshly cooked fish, the travelers will listen to their guide unveiling the little secrets of the market life, explaining some recipes, and also interacting with the vendors.

After enjoying the arancini al ragù made by Mama Agata, the guide will walk the travelers into a secret underground spot where a stream of the Amenano River flows along a lava tunnel.

More food and drinks come before the end, such as the spicy anchovies, the baked cipollina, and some other delis, the refreshing fruit selzt drinks, and of course a beer toast! History lovers cannot miss Piazza Federico di Svevia, where the medieval Castello Ursino raises in all its magnificence!

The tour ends back in Piazza Duomo with a final sweet treat, the fresh granita with brioche or the delicate ricotta “minnuzza” cake.

Not only food! Our tours must be seen as a walk with a local friend who will discuss many topics and share personal stories to make travelers feel the city and its culture.
