Discover Sicily in Every Bite: Street Food Tells the Story of an Island.
POPULAR FOOD YOU'LL PREPARE WITH YOUR OWN HANDS LIKE A TRUE PALERMITEN: BOILED OCTOPUS, CHICKPEA FLOUR PANELLE, TOMATO-SAUCE TRIPPE, SPLEEN SANDWICH, AND FINALLY, YOU'LL TASTE THE SICILIAN PIZZA PAR EXCELLENCE: SFINCIONE.
The history of Palermo’s street food is ancient, rooted in all the dominations that have passed
through Sicily. Palermo, a city of ports and markets, has always been a crossroads of peoples:
each brought ingredients and traditions that became part of the local culture.
Discover the soul of Palermo through an authentic street food experience.
You will learn how to prepare the silky batter for crispy panelle and explore the secrets of the
traditional cooking of spleen to fill the legendary Guastedda ca meusa, (tipycal bread) served in
its classic “spugghiata” style or in its richer “maritata” version.
Boiled octopus and Palermo tripe (in winter) will be the sea and land of our local street food.
And for summer barbecues, the irresistible "mangia e bevi" (snacks and drinks), spring onion
skewers wrapped in pancetta, will add a bold flavor to the table. And no tasting would be
complete without the beloved sfincione palermitano, a soft, fragrant street pizza, rich in history
and flavor. Sicilian wine will be the finishing touch
