Sicily · SICILIAN STREET FOOD TOURS
37 reviewed
Sicily ate with its hands long before street food had a name, and Palermo and Catania do it best. These tours take you fryer to fryer: arancini, panelle, sfincione, a spleen roll if you are game, cannoli filled to order. Which market each covers, how much you will eat, and what it costs.
