🗣️ What travellers report

Mario

He chose the morning option for Mercato Del Capo and reported that part of his tasting took place there. His account helps explain the appeal of that option for travellers interested in the market.

Liz

She praised the pace of the walk in her review. This is an individual impression; the supplied information does not detail walking distance or physical demands.

Meribeth

She found the activity useful for getting her bearings on arrival in Sicily and suggested a more history-focused visit for travellers already familiar with its food.

What you might taste and what is not guaranteed

Examples include sfincione, a soft pizza with onion, breadcrumbs, tomato and oregano; crocché, potato croquettes; and panelle, chickpea flour fritters. The description also mentions arancine, fried rice balls with meat or butter fillings, or a spleen sandwich.

These examples are not a fixed menu. Tastings change with the season, and particular venues, quantities of food or a specific dessert are not guaranteed. Foods or places mentioned in reviews are not automatically included in your booking either.
