Street Food Tour in Ortigia Syracuse

On our 2.5 hours Street Food Tour you’ll see the highlights of the historic center of Siracusa, living the island as a local and taste lots of local specialties.

The tour always have vegetarian options!

See some of the main sights of the city, including Via Cavour, the Jewish Quarter, the Local Market, and more.

While you stroll around the beating heart of Siracusa I’ll take you to taste the famous Arancino, a traditional rice ball with ragú that will tickle your taste buds.

Savor mouthwatering Panino, stop by one of Italian most famous mozzarella maker, to taste the cheeses and the best panino of your life.

As part of our 4th stops, taste the real Sicilian “cannolo” (with ricotta cheese).

Finally, while we walk through the local market, taste several flavors of the real Sicilian ¨Granita with Brioche¨, from one traditional pastry shop of the city!

Do not miss the chance to learn all about Sicilian heritage. I’ll be pleased to share all the secrets of our beloved city!

We will start from Archimedes Square, in front of the beautiful Diana Fountain, which represents the goddess of hunting and was considered the city’s protector by the Greeks. From here, we will venture out to explore the island, seeking new flavors and aromas, immersing ourselves as locals rather than tourists.

We will then proceed along Via Roma, one of the most charming and beautiful streets on the island of Ortigia. We’ll sample the coffee that us locals enjoy here. Naturally, as true Italians, we start the day with coffee. However, for those who don’t drink it, there will be an alternative option available.

Next, we will explore the fantastic Giudecca neighborhood, my personal favorite. Amidst former synagogues and a few hidden gems, I’ll share tales of the recipes introduced by the Arabs in this area. I’ll delve into the history of the arancino, one of Sicily’s symbols, and we’ll indulge in various versions of this dish.

We’ll then venture into the non-touristy part of the island, a place brimming with stories and secrets that often go unnoticed by those unfamiliar. I’ll share anecdotes and tales about our symbols and culinary culture. We’ll navigate through the island and its intricate pathways, leading us to the local market.

Finally, we’ll reach the Ortigia market, a magical place brimming with ancient flavors, vibrant colors, people, and culture. We’ll sample various offerings from different vendors, tasting the local specialties such as “pomodoro alla siracusana” (Syracuse-style tomatoes), cheese, salami, local olive oil, ricotta, and almond pastries.

Later, we’ll experience the delights of a traditional dairy farm, the most enchanting spot in Ortigia, where you’ll savor cheeses and the most delectable panino you’ve ever tasted. Trust me on this one.

We’ll wrap up the tour with something sweet and refreshing. We’ll indulge in the traditional granita and, of course, the Sicilian cannolo at one of the island’s most traditional and tasty gelato makers.
