Unforgettable day!
Absolutely unforgettable! This walking food tour in Catania is a vibrant, flavor-packed journey through the heart of Sicilian culture. From the moment we stepped into the bustling fish market, rich with the scent of the sea and the shouts of vendors, we knew we were in for something special. Our guide, Agatha, is a passionate local, who effortlessly blended history, tradition, and humor, making each stop feel like a story unfolding.
The fresh fruit and marinated olives were a perfect opener, bursting with Mediterranean sunshine. Then came the sun-dried tomatoes—intensely rich and perfectly chewy—followed by a descent into a hidden lava cave that gave us a breathtaking glimpse into Catania’s volcanic roots.
The food got bolder and more unforgettable with every bite. The horse meatballs were tender and surprisingly delicate, while the grilled spring onion wrapped in bacon was smoky, sweet, and utterly addictive. The rice ball filled with donkey meat and pistachios was the most unexpected delight of the day—comforting yet complex, and deeply Sicilian.
We ended with a refreshing grenadine paired with soft brioche, the perfect sweet note to close the tour. Throughout, the conversations with locals brought an authenticity that no guidebook could offer. Their stories, traditions, and pride in their cuisine gave every bite deeper meaning.
This tour is an absolute must-do in Catania—an immersive, soulful, and delicious adventure that leaves you full in every sense of the word.

The best way to see Catania!
Giuseppe is a fantastic host, with excellent knowledge of the city and the best places to eat authentically! We had a large group (9) and he was incredibly accommodating and ensured those of us with allergies were also catered for.
He was friendly, good humoured and fitted in perfectly. We enjoyed a lengthy lunch together after the tour, which was a bonus!
We cannot recommend this experience, and Giuseppe, enough. The food was excellent, and from places you would never go to without a local! Thank you Giuseppe, for a wonderful day!
