Itinerary
1
Palermo
Palermo is one of Italy’s most exciting food cities, where bold flavors, crispy bites, and freshly made dishes are part of everyday life. From lively markets to small local spots, food here is fast, satisfying, and full of character. With a local host leading the way, you will discover where locals really go, what they love to eat, and what makes each dish worth trying. This is not a fixed tasting route, but a flexible experience shaped around you. Before your experience begins, you will complete a short questionnaire so we can understand your tastes and preferences, allowing your host to design a route that reflects what excites you most, from well-known classics to lesser-known local favorites. Here are some highlights your host may include during your experience:
2
Capo Street Market
Start in Capo Market, where the energy is lively, fast-paced, and full of flavor. Stalls are packed with fresh ingredients, and food is prepared right in front of you. Try hot, crispy bites and local favorites while your host shows you what people stop for, what sells out first, and why it matters.
3
Teatro Massimo
Walk through the streets around Teatro Massimo, where grand buildings sit alongside everyday food spots. Step into bakeries and casual eateries serving warm, comforting dishes that locals return to time and again. This is where you see how tradition fits naturally into daily life.
4
La Vucciria
Head into the Vucciria district, where Palermo’s food culture feels raw and full of character. Once a busy market, it remains a place where people gather to eat, snack, and socialize. Discover how the food here reflects the city’s mix of influences and evolving energy.
5
La Cala
Make your way toward La Cala harbour, where the sea plays a defining role in what ends up on the plate. The atmosphere, pace, and ingredients shift here, and your host will explain how coastal life shapes the flavors and dishes found across the city.
6
La Kalsa
Finish in the Kalsa neighborhood, where the pace slows and the atmosphere becomes more relaxed. Enjoy a final tasting, often something sweet or refreshing, and take a moment to absorb everything you have experienced through Palermo’s food.
