Palermo: Small-Group Sicilian Street Food Tour
Meet your guide near the iconic Teatro Massimo opera house. Street food is cooked and served at street stalls, modest bakeries, and old bars. This street food tour has been designed to show Palermo with no filters of any kind. Begin by making your way to the Vucciria Market and Mercato di Capo, two busy and colorful outdoor markets in Palermo. Listen as your guide offers insights into how Sicily’s unique culinary history informs its street food scene while vendors of local produce and seafood promote their goods. Get in line at neighborhood bakeries, cafés, and street food stalls to try a variety of famous Sicilian street snacks. Munch on chickpea fritters called panelle and deep-fried balls of rice stuffed with meat, vegetables, and cheese called arancine. Sip on a sweet Sicilian wine to wash down your fried treats, and then head for a seasonal dessert. You may indulge in Sicily’s famous cannoli (deep-fried pastry cylinders filled with sweetened ricotta cheese), some gelato, or a refreshing granita (a fruity slushy).
