• Temple of Apollo (Tempio di Apollo) - The first culinary stop offers a delightful experience with authentic local street foods, set against the historic backdrop of the Temple of Apollo. Guests can enjoy arancini, the renowned rice balls filled with various ingredients such as meat, ham, spinach, pistachios, or eggplants, fried to a golden crisp, embodying the essence of Sicilian tradition. During the summer, a fried fish cone, featuring a selection of freshly caught fish, is also available. With the ancient columns of the Temple of Apollo and the vibrant atmosphere of Ortigia’s streets, savoring these local delicacies becomes a harmonious blend of history, culture, and flavor.
• Fountain of Diana - The next stop offers a taste of the Sicilian impanata, a traditional artisanal delight. This oval-shaped, golden calzone is filled with options like tomato sauce, vegetables, meat, cheese, potatoes and sausage, or even shrimp and black olives, providing a rich burst of bold flavors. Enjoying it in Piazza Archimede, amidst the grandeur of historic palaces and the lively buzz of locals and visitors, transforms this tasting into more than just a meal; it’s a genuine taste of Syracuse’s culinary and cultural essence.
• Mercato Di Siracusa - The journey continues with a sampling of local products at the ancient market in Syracuse, featuring a tasting of paninetti with locally produced cheeses and cured meats.
• Largo Antonello Gagini - Guests will also indulge in local and refreshing desserts in the heart of Syracuse’s historic center. Sicilian granita, served in a glass, is perfect for relaxing and cooling down on a hot summer afternoon. This simple yet delicious mix of fresh fruit, sugar, and ice is an ideal way to conclude a rich meal. Alongside it, Sicilian cannoli, with its crisp wafer traditionally shaped around a hot metal bar and filled with sweet, creamy ricotta, often garnished with candied fruit, crunchy pistachios, or dark chocolate chips, offers a colorful and indulgent experience. Surrounded by vibrant streets and historic architecture, tasting these desserts captures the essence of Sicilian life.
