What we will eat: sweet and savory samples

Catania’s street food is prepared and served at veracious fried-food shops, popular taverns and street vendors.

Between tastings of typical seasonal foods, you’ll go a long way and the walking tour of Catania will be less strenuous. Topping the list of Catania’s street menu in the early hours of the morning are: granita, brioche con il ‘tuppo’, and minnuzza di Sant’Agata alla ricotta.

These are the most popular street food in the city.

During the course of the morning, there will be other delicious temptations to which you will succumb: arancini with meat sauce, baked onion (with mozzarella, olives, tomato and shallots), fried fish coppo, samples of seasonal fruits, Siciliana with anchovies and tuma cheese, olives, cheeses, typical products in oil, fagottini alla catanese with eggplant.

Street food Catania morning: Sweet treats and a trip to La Pescheria

Typically, the street food tour in Catania starts from Piazza Duomo and proceeds to Villa Bellini. If desired, it can continue not only by road but also underneath through a passageway from which to view the Amenano River. The passage to Piazza Federico di Svevia where the imposing Ursino Castle stands excites and makes one hungry again.

Dessert lovers will be able to satisfy their taste buds with cassatella, Sicilian cannolo, almond paste but also sweet dough pizzas. And to drink? Handcrafted soft drinks at the city’s kiosks. Wandering around the stalls of La Pescheria market, you’ll be faced with a rich selection of the day’s tastings.

We recommend late-morning tastings of octopus, anchovies, mullet, anchovies, paranza, charcuterie. Strictly fresh foods that deserve to be washed down with a refreshing fruit seltzer.
