What To Expect

Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata

At the first stop we'll try the Iris: a preparation made of sweet fried leavened dough (similar to a krapfen or doughnut) that encloses a filling: the traditional one has sweet ricotta cream and chocolate pieces. In the Catania area, there is a variant with pistachio, chocolate and white cream as well as, of course, ricotta. Despite being sweet, it is counted among the classic street foods of Sicilian cuisine, being enjoyed hot and at all hours by locals and tourists alike.

Piazza Universita

We'll also taste the Torta Setteveli: One only has to pronounce its name to immediately have the wonderful image of a cake covered in shiny chocolate icing. Each slice offers a series of layers alternating between mousse and crunchy bits. A curious anecdote hides behind this cake that has become so famous on our island...curious to find out?

Piazza Stesicoro

We'll get the chance to get refreshed thanks to the Sicilian granita - perfect for relaxing and cooling down on hot summer afternoons. It is served in a glass and is ideal to end a rich meal on a high note. Fresh fruit, sugar, and ice are the necessary ingredients - simple, but incredibly tasty!

Villa Bellini

How can we not taste the Sicilian Cannoli - the wafer, traditionally molded around a hot metal bar, is filled with a sweet and creamy preparation made with ricotta cheese, candied fruit, crunchy pistachios, or dark chocolate chips. An explosion of taste and color! You can find the recipe here.
