What makes it special
Your host takes you through Palermo’s food culture in five distinct tastings. From street classics to seasonal sweets, each stop is shaped by freshness, local rhythm, and your preferences.
Key Highlights:
- Start in a local market district; color, noise, and aroma set the tone
- Begin with something warm and handheld: sfincione, arancina, or fritters
- Try a crisp, fried snack while hearing how street food became tradition
- Sample a local pasta or marinated seafood dish, depending on appetite
- Pause for a proper sweet: fresh cannolo, cassatella, or almond dessert
- Wrap up with a digestivo or strong coffee if that feels like the right finish
- This experience follows local flavor and guest appetite—not a set route
