WHAT YOU’LL DO<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t

<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\n

Meet us in front of the elegant City Hall of Messina, ready to devour the city streets and admire its historical gems. Your Messina streety guide will accompany you through the city streets and to their favorite local shops to taste a rich variety of specialties from eastern Sicily on this\u00a0street food tour in Messina.
The Streaty Messina food tour begins with a traditional Messina breakfast. Ever heard of caldofreddo<\/em> and the Messina peach? Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not the only one, no tourist knows them…these are local treats! A Messina breakfast consists of an iced coffee, hot coffee, and whipped cream\u2026 and the pesca<\/em>!<\/strong> A piece of colorful Sicilian haute pastry filled with a fragrant yellow cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tour continues with a tasting of Sicilian cheeses accompanied by a good local wine at a family-run shop. In fact, Streaty prefers small artisan food shops where locals go to shop, eat, and toast.<\/strong> We don\u2019t pay much attention to how comfortable the shop is; what matters is that it is well regarded by locals. Between tasting stops, you will admire some historical highlights of the city<\/strong>\u2014from the balcony where Benito Mussolini delivered his speech to the Sicilian people, to the elegant gallery in the Cathedral of Messina with its finely crafted marble inlays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Streaty<\/strong>\u00a0Messina food walking tour<\/strong>\u00a0is a complete cultural experience, where food is the key to opening the hidden doors of Sicilian culture. A must-try of Messina street cuisine is the vegetarian pidone<\/em><\/strong> with escarole and cheese, a soft and delicate fried pocket enjoyed by locals as a snack on the go. We know you\u2019re looking for Sicilian arancino<\/em>, and the Messina version is the richest among regional varieties.<\/strong> Come hungry, because you\u2019ll leave a few kilos heavier! Before dessert, we treat meat lovers to a Messina specialty: veal braciole<\/em>, simple rolls of meat that you can even recreate in your own kitchen.
Like all Streaty tours, our\u00a0Messina street food tour<\/strong>\u00a0ends on a sweet note\u2026 with seasonal and typical regional desserts. During the walk you will learn about Messina\u2019s cuisine, the daily life of Sicilians, the city\u2019s history, its urban development, and even basic information about local art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you\u2019re looking for, packaged into a memorable 3-hour walking\u00a0food and cultural tour in Messina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n
