In this video, we are Catania! Many travellers come to Catania to catch a glimpse of Mt Etna, a giant volcano on the outskirts of the ancient port. But we’re here to EAT, so join us while we show you all of the amazing Sicilian food to try in Catania!
We are starting our morning at the insane Catania Fish Market. This place is buzzing with fish mongers screaming, chopping and transporting seafood that came fresh from the port early in the morning. For seafood lovers, this market is heaven!
📍Pescheria di Catania
Within the market are a few seafood restaurants and street food stalls. We stopped into a fried fish joint and ordered a Fish in Cone (no bones) for breakfast! The mixed fish were fresh and super crunchy!
📍Scirocco (inside fish market)
As the fish market slowly closed for the day, we made our way across Catania for some Sicilian treats. We stopped into a pasticceria and ordered a few dishes. The first was Arinicina Ragu, which was shaped like Mt. Etna and STUFFED with cheese! The next dish was Cassata which is a Sicilian sponge cake. It was a little too sweet for us. We also ordered our favourite Italian dessert, cannoli. These are so incredible in Sicily!!! And to wash it all down and balance the sweetness, we ordered a shakerato coffee. This caffe had a traditional feel!
📍Pasticceria Savia
After exploring Catania in the afternoon, it was time to eat a unique Sicilian dinner. We went to a local trattoria that is famous for their horse meat, which we had never tried before. We ordered the horse fillet steak, a plate of mussels and caponata (fried eggplant salad). The horse was absolutely delicious and served medium rare, and we highly recommend trying it while in Catania!
📍Trattoria del Cavaliere
