Catania Sweets and Treats Tour
Indulge in a mouthwatering adventure through the flavors of Catania with our delightful tour, an unforgettable culinary experience right in the heart of Sicily! Let your taste buds dance with the Iris, a fried dough treat filled with creamy, sweet ricotta and chocolate bits - a quintessential street food in Sicily enjoyed by both locals and tourists throughout the day. You may also get a taste of the Catania classic version, featuring pistachio, chocolate, and white cream.
Sink your teeth into the Torta Setteveli, a magnificent layered cake covered in glossy chocolate icing, alternated between velvety mousse and crunchy titbits. This cake carries a fascinating story, one that has contributed to its fame on the island. Wouldn't you love to discover this story for yourself?
The Sicilian granita is an absolute must-try, especially on hot summer afternoons. Served in a glass, this refreshing concoction of fresh fruit, sugar, and ice beautifully caps off a hearty meal. Simple in its composition yet bursting with flavor.
No excursion to Sicily would be complete without sampling the Sicilian cannoli. This scrumptious treat features a wafer, traditionally molded around a hot metal bar, filled with a sweet and creamy ricotta cheese preparation, candied fruit, and either crunchy pistachios or dark chocolate chips.
Our food tour offers a delectable food experience in a relaxed setting, essentially encapsulating the laid-back Italian spirit. Not only will you immerse yourself in local flavors, but also capture insights into Sicily's rich culinary culture from Catania's bustling streets.
