What To Expect
At our first stop, we’ll taste the Sicilian Caponata, a vibrant mix of fried vegetables, mainly aubergines, seasoned with tomato sauce, celery, onion, olives, capers, sugar, and vinegar. With countless variations across the Mediterranean, Caponata is now typically served as a side or appetizer, though since the 18th century it was also enjoyed as a main course.
What better place than the local market to try a fried fish cone? Savor a delicious cone filled with various kinds of freshly caught fish, fried to perfection. Alternatively, there may be another local street food to enjoy, offering a true taste of the market’s lively flavors.

5.00What a wonderful way to experience Catania. Giuseppe was a friendly and engaging guide with a wealth of knowledge about the origins of street food in Catania. We ate fried seafood, arancina, Cipoolina Catanese, granita, and of course cannoli. We walked away with full bellies and full hearts feeling like we made a new friend in Sicily.
Awesome tour

5.00We had a fantastic evening tour with Kate! She quickly made us all feel like one big family. The food was delicious and plentiful, with excellent stories to go with it. Kate was really part of the community, and her love for Catania was visible everywhere. This tour was the perfect start to our visit, but it would be great anytime.
