Why take this tour?

During a walking in the market between colorful stalls of fruit, fish and meet, we will buy the ingredients we need to make together the menu you have. After our purchases, we will move towards the home restaurant to start the cooking class. Here our experience will continue with the preparation of the dishes. Under my supervision my kitchen will become the scenery of your culinary creations. Sicilian cuisine, considered one of the most creative and spectacular in the world, is closely linked to the historical, cultural and religious events of the island.

About operator:

A walk through the center of Palermo is like visiting an open-air museum, where you’ll experience a range of different architectural styles. During the 3-hour walk you’ll see the Capo street market that is a true mix of culture, customs, and food traditions, the Cathedral, the Cassaro and the Quattro Canti. The walk will also provide an opportunity to taste some specialties of Palermo. Some of the particular tastes of street food you might enjoy include sfincione (dough topped with onion, bread crumbs, tomato, and oregano), panelle (fried chickpea flour), crocché (potato croquettes), arancine (rice croquettes stuffed with meat or butter), and cannolo (crunchy shell with sweet-cheese). If you want you can ask to taste the bread with “meusa” (bread with spleen). The tour normally starts at 10.30 am in Piazza Olivella, but you can ask also a different hour if you ask “PRIVATE TOUR”. Free pick-up outside the port for cruise passenger. Send an email for tour in Italian language.
