Full description Experience Catania by night on a street food tour that combines the city's vibrant nightlife, historic charm, and bold flavors. Beginning in the iconic Piazza Duomo, this evening adventure kicks off with Catania’s signature arancino, the perfect introduction to the city’s rich culinary traditions.

As travelers wander through Catania’s lively alleys, they’ll admire local graffiti, historic landmarks, and—most importantly—taste the city's most beloved nighttime street food. The tour features succulent grilled horse meat, a Catanese favorite, and the irresistible cipollata, a flavorful combination of pancetta and spring onion.

Guided by local experts, this tour is more than just food—it’s a deep dive into Catania’s culture and daily life, touching on contemporary topics and offering an authentic, unfiltered view of the city. Travelers will step off the beaten path to visit a family-run friggitoria, where they’ll savor Catanese crispelle, a crispy, deep-fried specialty unknown to most tourists.

With plenty of toasts along the way, the night ends on a sweet note—either with a soft ricotta-filled minnuzza cake or a refreshing granita, always following the seasonal specialties of the region.

Beyond food, this Catania night tour offers a chance to experience the city through the eyes of a local, sharing stories, traditions, and the true essence of Sicilian nightlife.
