Did you know that Palermo is the capital of Sicily and one of the best street food capitals in the entire world? Which is why we did our own tour of Palermo’s street food!

Why is food such a big deal in Palermo, Italy? Because of Palermo’s history! It’s been conquered by more than 15 different nations…and all of those nations contributed delicious foods :)

PALERMO FOOD: The street food vibe is BIG in Sicily, with everything from fried potatoes and chickpea pancakes to freshly squeezed juice and strange meat on a grill. Be brave and taste all of the Italian street food! Especially in the famous markets like Ballarò, Vucciria, Capo, and Borgo Vecchio!

PALERMO PIZZA: This isn’t necessarily a 15 inch personal pizza made in a traditional Italian pizza oven. In fact, the Palermo street food markets actually had a mini pizza that was salty, greasy, and oh-so-delicious.

PALERMO BAKERY: The city of Palermo has dozens of bakeries, but we think we’ve found the best pasticcerias in town with the best local treats! Without giving it all away, we definitely encourage you to try the cassata!

PALERMO WINE: When in Palermo, Sicily, Italy, you must drink wine! In fact, Jana’s all-time favorite wine is a Sicilian red wine: Nero d’Avola. We didn’t feature it in this video, but we definitely enjoyed some while we were there!

PALERMO WEATHER: During our trip in late May 2022, the weather was wonderful! Sunny, warm days yet mild evenings with a nice breeze. This was perfect weather to visit a bakery in the morning, the beach in the afternoon, and enjoy street food every evening!

Did you know that Palermo has some of the most popular street food around the world? So it’s definitely worth a visit!

My belly has just booked flights to Sicily 😋

We're going to Italy next summer, and we'll be spending 4 full days in Rome. We already have a 3 day itinerary in mind, starting early in the morning, and then going back to our Airbnb while the cruise ship people play tourist in the city, and go back once they're back on their ships in late afternoon. We will be booking our attractions in advance, like we did for Versailles and the Louvre when we went to Paris last summer. The evenings will be reserved for visiting the piazzas and dinner.
Also, some restaurants are tourist traps, mainly those whose waiters are outside inciting you to come in, or ones that say "Authentic" in front or if the menu is in different languages.
If you go to a bar, don't expect alcohol, you're gonna get coffee, and if you order it "Al banco", you'll pay less than if you're at a table or on the outside terrasse. Also, don't order cappuccino after 11 am, it goes against the Italian coffee culture.

LOVE croquettes. You find them in Spain at tapas bars, too. I've eaten them in the US as well. yum
