Itinerary

1. Temple of Apollo (Tempio di Apollo)

At our first food stop, we’ll dive into the most authentic local street foods, surrounded by the historic atmosphere of the Temple of Apollo. You’ll savor arancini, the world-famous rice balls stuffed with a variety of ingredients like meat, cooked ham, spinach, pistachios, or aubergines, fried to golden perfection for a true taste of Sicilian tradition. In the summertime, you can also enjoy a fried fish cone, filled with a selection of fresh fish caught that very day. With the ancient columns of the Temple of Apollo as your backdrop and the lively energy of Ortigia’s streets all around, tasting these local specialties becomes a perfect blend of history, culture, and flavor.

Duration: 45 mins

2. Fontana di Diana

Next, we’ll have the chance to taste the Sicilian impanata, a traditional artisanal specialty. This oval-shaped, golden calzone can be filled with tomato sauce, vegetables, meat, cheese, potatoes and sausage, or even shrimp and black olives, offering a rich explosion of bold flavors. Enjoying it in Piazza Archimede, surrounded by the grandeur of historic palaces and the lively energy of locals and visitors alike, turns this tasting into more than a meal, it’s a true taste of Syracuse’s culinary and cultural heart.

Duration: 45 mins

3. Mercato di Ortigia

To then go to taste some local products: along a tour of the ancient market in Syracuse including a tasting of paninetti with locally produced cheeses and cured meats.

Duration: 45 mins

4. Largo Antonello Gagini

We’ll also relish some local and refreshing desserts in the heart of Syracuse’s historic center. Sicilian granita is perfect for relaxing and cooling down on a hot summer afternoon. Served in a glass, this simple yet incredibly tasty mix of fresh fruit, sugar, and ice is ideal to end a rich meal on a high note. Alongside it, you’ll enjoy Sicilian cannoli, where the crisp wafer, traditionally molded around a hot metal bar, is filled with sweet, creamy ricotta and often garnished with candied fruit, crunchy pistachios, or dark chocolate chips. Surrounded by the vibrant streets and historic architecture, tasting these desserts becomes a colorful and indulgent experience that captures the essence of Sicilian life.
