• Tips

Immerse yourself in the unique cultural and historical journey that our city has to offer. The local culinary scene is shaped by two definitive elements - the warm, sun-caressed Mediterranean sea that laps the shores of Sicily, and the formidable Mount Etna, the most active volcano in Europe. Catania’s gastronomy is a lively representation of these two aspects.

Takeaway food in Catania is a blend of traditions and cultures absorbed from the diverse groups of people who have resided here, which include Greeks, Latins, Spanish, Jews and Arabs, among others. Each culture has brought and integrated their own food practices into Sicilian heritage, leading to the creation of delectable, flavourful, and vibrant dishes that are typically prepared in full view by the talented local craftsmen.
