What to do and see in Palermo, Sicily: The Best Food & Drink

June 29, 2021 Darleen Reid

Palermo is an urban melting pot characterized by history and culture so diverse that it often feels conflicted. Discover an intriguing range of architectural styles, from Arabian domes to baroque buildings, and enjoy delicious cuisine that spans a variety of origins. Be sure to visit the Palace of the Normans, the Palatine Chapel and the church of St. John of the Hermits. Art and music lovers won’t want to miss the Galleria d’Arte Moderna (the “GAM”), the Salinas or an opera or ballet at the Teatro Massimo.

Cooking Class with Mamma Lucia & Vincenzo

Reviewed By Extraordinary802624 - Lamoine, United States

To me the best part of traveling is learning about local cuisine. Vincenzo guided me around the bustling Capo market where I learned about what’s fresh and what’s best and how I might prepare them. Then we went to his restaurant CinCin and cooked up a storm in his kitchen. It was all hands on. I perfected my knife technique and how to handle a saucepan. It was 100 percent terrific including the delicious results.

Eat and Walk - Street Food Tour

A walk through the center of Palermo is like visiting an open-air museum, where you’ll experience a range of different architectural styles. During the 3-hour walk you’ll see the Capo street market that is a true mix of culture, customs, and food traditions, the Cathedral, the Cassaro and the Quattro Canti. The walk will also provide an opportunity to taste some specialties of Palermo. Some of the particular tastes of street food you might enjoy include sfincione (dough topped with onion, bread crumbs, tomato, and oregano), panelle (fried chickpea flour), crocché (potato croquettes), arancine (rice croquettes stuffed with meat or butter), and cannolo (crunchy shell with sweet-cheese). If you want you can ask to taste the bread with “meusa” (bread with spleen). The tour normally starts at 10.30 am in Piazza Olivella, but you can ask also a different hour if you ask “PRIVATE TOUR”. Free pick-up outside the port for cruise passenger. Send an email for tour in Italian language.
