Sicilian Street Food Experience: A Taste of Palermo

Experience into the heart of Palermo’s lively food culture with our Sicilian Street Food Experience — a hands-on cooking class where you’ll master some of the island’s most iconic and loved street eats.

We’ll start with a selection of crispy, golden-battered vegetables — a simple yet delicious way to showcase Sicily’s fresh, seasonal produce.

Then, you’ll get to prepare one of Palermo’s most famous street specialties:

✨ Panelle (chickpea fritters)

From shaping the dough to frying it to perfection, you’ll discover how Sicilians enjoy this classic — especially when tucked into warm, fresh bread for the ultimate street food bite.
