Sample 8 tastings and 3 Sicilian drinks across 5 stops in the Pescheria and Civita district
3 h

If you'd rather eat where locals do than sit at a tourist trattoria, this tour has your name on it. Follow a Catanese guide through the city's backstreets after dark, when the old town comes alive. You'll taste pistachio arancini rice balls and toast with a cold beer, then wander the Pescheria fish market and the gritty Civita district for the city's famous horse meat. Sweet crispelle fritters and an icy granita wrap things up. It's the tastiest way to enjoy Catania in one small-group evening.

Itinerary
Your tour begins at Piazza del Duomo
Meet your local guide in Catania's grand main square, framed by Baroque palazzos and the famous Liotru elephant fountain. After quick introductions, you'll head off into the old town as the evening lights flicker on.
Toast the night, then dive into the Pescheria market
Settle into the evening with a crisp pistachio arancino, a traditional deep-fried rice ball, and a cold Sicilian beer. Then follow your guide into the Pescheria, Catania's centuries-old fish market, where stalls overflow with the day's glistening catch.
Taste horse meat in the historic Civita district
Next, duck into the Civita district, where a family-run butchery grills Catania's boldest specialty: horse meat. This is street food locals grew up on, served far from the tourist trail in one of the oldest quarters.
Savor Sicilian sweets on Baroque Via dei Crociferi
Then wander up Via dei Crociferi, a UNESCO-listed street lined with Baroque churches. You'll finish the feast with a honey-drizzled crispelle fritter and an icy granita dessert as your guide shares tales of everyday life in old Catania.
Your tour ends at Piazza Cutelli
Your evening wraps up in Piazza Cutelli, full and happy after a night of eating like a local. Your guide can point you toward a nightcap or a scenic walk, leaving you with insider tips for the rest of your stay in Catania.
