If you’re heading to Palermo, don’t miss the chance to experience the city’s legendary street food with a true local. Our tour with Fernando Massana of Rocking Kitchen Sicily was the highlight of our trip—filled with authentic bites like arancini, panelle, caponata, and cannoli, plus plenty of local wine and good company. Fernando’s insider knowledge and passion for Sicilian food made every stop memorable. From bustling markets to hidden gems, this is how you taste the real Palermo.

Il Principe del Mare in Fasano, Puglia, is a seafood lover’s dream. Famous for its seasonal ricci di mare (sea urchins) and a menu brimming with crudo like mussels, tuna, and muscardini, this hidden gem offers fresh, honest flavors. Set by a serene cove, it’s the perfect spot to savor authentic Italian cuisine paired with local wine.
