Description

The Palermo street food evening tour starts from the Massimo opera house, located in Piazza Verdi, just outside the historic center. The route winds through the alleys of the Olivella area and the modern port of La Cala and ends at the Mecca of Palermo nightlife: the Vucciria.

Streaty guides accompany hungry travelers through the darkest alleys of the historic center offering a different perspective of the city of Palermo and its vibrant everyday life. It will be an opportunity to admire some hidden gems but above all to learn about the nightly street food specialties.

During the evening street food tour of Palermo, stops will be made for the tasting of traditional street food, such as: the crouton with ham and bechamel, the chickpea panelle, the potato and mint croquettes, the highly sought-after rascatura, the renowned sandwich with the spleen and other tasty surprises that perfume the barbecues of Vucciria. The evening street food tour in Palermo starts with a refreshing sip of Sicilian wine accompanied by delicate bruschetta that paves the way for more decisive flavors. Tastings are carried out at family-run street vendors and fry shops, selected on the basis of the quality of the food offered and the authenticity of the place.

During the evening walk the guide will talk about Palermo and its urban evolution, will tell street stories (eg Santa Rosalia, days of the Inquisition) and will analyze social issues of greatest interest. The evening street food tour in Palermo ends in piazza Fonderia or in the elegant piazza San Domenico, the baroque stage of the latest eating challenge: the menacing brioche with ice cream!
