What you can expect
On our 2.5-hour Street Food Tour, you'll discover the soul of Ortigia through its flavors, its hidden corners, and its people—just like a local would.
The tour always includes vegetarian options!
We’ll start like true locals do on a summer morning: with a refreshing Sicilian iced coffee.
Then, we’ll head to the most traditional bakery in the city to taste what I believe is the best Arancino in Siracusa—made fresh every morning starting at 5 AM.
We’ll wander through Ortigia’s most hidden alleys, from the peaceful fishermen’s square to secret corners far from the tourist crowds. This is the side of the island most people never get to see.
At the local market, we’ll taste a selection of authentic products: sun-dried tomato capuliato, baked ricotta, pistachio salami from Francesco, almond pastries, pistachio cream like Sicilian grandmas used to make, and—depending on the season—fresh Pachino tomatoes or prickly pears.
Then, we’ll visit one of the most unique places on the island and meet my extended family of cheesemakers, where you’ll taste ricotta and mozzarella made just hours before—plus the best panino of your life.
We’ll end our journey with a refreshing granita made from real fruit, served in the most traditional gelateria in Ortigia.
Don't miss the chance to experience the island through the eyes of a local. I'll be honored to share with you the flavors and stories of my home.
