Itinerary
Your tour begins at Piazza del Duomo
Meet your guide at the Fontana dell'Elefante. Catania smells of espresso and warm sugar, and your sweet tour through the baroque heart of the city begin now.
Crack open a warm iris brioche
First, the iris brioche arrives still hot from the fryer, its golden crust splitting over molten ricotta and dark chocolate. One bite explains the morning queues outside Catania's bars.
Melt into pastel cassatina siciliana
Next, sample cassatina siciliana near Piazza Università, a marzipan jewel hiding cloud-light sheep's ricotta. It tastes like every Sicilian Sunday afternoon.
Cool off with granita
At Piazza Stesicoro, spoon up icy Sicilian granita in pure lemon, almond, pistachio, or coffee flavors. Slushy, fragrant, and ice-cold, it’s the perfect pairing for the Mediterranean heat.
Crunch into a true Sicilian cannoli
Near Villa Bellini, watch a cannoli filled to order. The blistered shell shatters in your hand, yielding to cool ricotta, candied orange, and pistachios from Mount Etna.
