*based on availability and seasonality, there will be 4 tastings included among the following:
sandwich with panelle and crocchè: this humble sesame roll is the beating heart of palermo street life. inside you’ll find creamy potato crocchè and crisp chickpea panelle, recipes born from arab and peasant traditions that turned simple ingredients into true delight. it’s the flavor of school breaks, football matches and family walks, and the most authentic way to begin your sicilian food journey.
panino ca meuza: this iconic spleen sandwich is palermo’s boldest specialty, cherished by locals at historic friggitorie around the capo and vucciria markets. thin slices of spleen and lung are slow-cooked, then sizzled in fragrant lard and tucked into a soft bun, often with a sprinkle of caciocavallo cheese. adventurous and deeply traditional, it tells the story of nose‑to‑tail cooking and centuries of working‑class ingenuity.
sfincione: more than “palermo pizza,” sfincione is a thick, cloud‑soft focaccia topped with sweet tomato sauce, anchovy paste, slow‑cooked onions and a generous dusting of breadcrumbs and cheese. historically baked by women called “sfincionare” and sold from wooden carts at christmas and feast days, it carries the scent of alleys and markets. every bite blends sea flavors, street bustle and family‑table comfort.
rice arancina: this golden rice ball, crisp outside and silky within, is one of sicily’s most beloved icons. influenced by arab rice dishes and medieval court banquets, arancine are filled with classics like ragù, mozzarella, spinach or ham before being breaded and deep‑fried. in palermo they’re a daily ritual, eaten on the go or during celebrations, turning a simple snack into a feast in your hand.
sicilian cannoli: once prepared for carnival in sicilian convents, cannoli are now a symbol of celebration all year round. a bubbly, fried wafer is wrapped around a metal tube, then filled at the last moment with velvety sheep’s ricotta, lightly sweetened and speckled with candied fruit, pistachios or dark chocolate drops. with every crunchy, creamy bite you taste generations of pastry craft and sicily’s love for true delight. do you want to try this at home? you can find the recipe here.
sicilian granita: born from arab sherbets and snow from mount etna, granita is sicily’s coolest tradition. finely crushed ice blends with fresh fruit, sugar and natural flavors into a slow‑melting, fragrant dessert sipped from a glass, often with brioche in the morning. lemon, almond, coffee or chocolate: each spoonful offers a refreshing pause from palermo’s sun‑drenched streets and a gentle, elegant end to a hearty meal.
overnight stay in palermo.
