Highlights
- Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata - At the first stop we’ll try the Iris: a preparation made of sweet fried leavened dough (similar to a krapfen or doughnut) that encloses a filling: the traditional one has sweet ricotta cream and chocolate pieces. In the Catania area, there is a variant with pistachio, chocolate and white cream as well as, of course, ricotta. Despite being sweet, it is counted among the classic street foods of Sicilian cuisine, being enjoyed hot and at all hours by locals and tourists alike.
