Sicily has been producing wine and olive oil since the days of the Greeks and the Romans: your guide will first take you to a wine shop where you will sample some of the region’s finest wines and olive oil. Then on to the Capo, one of the city’s three medieval street markets: this colorful, Arab-like market is the heart of Palermo’s food district and the beginning of every savory dish in town.

A stop for lunch at Antica Focacceria di San Francesco, founded in 1836, is a delight to all food lovers: arancine (stuffed rice balls), caponata (Sicilian ratatouille with eggplants) and pane ca’ meusa (beef spleen and lung sandwiches) are just a few of the mouth-watering dishes you can try.

A journey into Palermo’s edible delights cannot end without a stop at Antico Caffé Spinnato: founded in 1860, it’s The place to have a real Sicilian cannoli (pastry with fresh ricotta cheese) and an espresso or cappuccino.
