Italian food from Pizza to Pasta Italian cuisine is well known around the world and over the next few videos we are making our way around the Mediterranean Sea on an Italian cruise ship with several stops in Italy to try the different Regional dishes our first stop

Is the southern city of palmo in Sicily Italy to try some of the local street food this is a good start and I can wait what else we’ll eat here today of course we are going to need some caffeine to start we stopped by a small Cafe and

Were’re convinced by some locals to try a few pastry items for breakfast welcome to Sicily it’s pretty early in the morning we just got off our cruise ship and this is actually kind of the first time for the both of us in palmo here actually we’re still kind of at the Port

Area we’re going to go into the inner city but we had to stop because we haven’t had our morning coffee yet and we thought why get a coffee at the boat when I can get an real Italian coffee here so I went with the cappuccino and

What I noticed in Italy is they are pretty small but let’s see if it’s good or not cappuccino and Italy I needed that man I’m still so tired all right with our coffee we got two little pastry things because Italians love their pastry I don’t know if these are breakfast items but this

Round thing they recommend it to us it’s uh called a Gino or something alag Gino I’m not sure but it’s apparently typically Sicilian and it’s this round pastry that is fairly hot on the outside we just cut it in half and there this nice custard looking filling on the

Inside and then there’s a ton of powdered sugar on there so this is typical Sicilian breakfast maybe maybe Not M the dough is fairly dry but it tastes really good it’s a little bit like a cookie like it’s very sweet but it becomes this nice mush and tastes very strong and nice and then this custard filling I can tell I think it’s some type of vanilla custard in there I

Like it a lot all right all right and I have an espresso without milk it’s nice I just need some good coffee the bow coffee has been a little me yes yes that’s what I need to wake up today but then we also have another classic Sicilian and Italian dessert we

Came for this we eyeballed the coffee and then we came for this canoli is the plural form of it the singular is canolo right anyway so it’s this deep fried pastry they had all of the shells laying out there and they fill it with this sweet Ricotta and just cover it with

Powdered sugar as well I’m excited to kind of dig into this this is something that um I know living in the US it’s like a very classic Italian dessert and I’m excited to try it Here oh my God M that is so so sweet oh it has this nice crunchy texture and then the inside is so creamy and so sweet a lot sweeter than I expected wow that’s amazing m m great start yes also it was a little cloudy but now the

Sun seems to be coming out and it looks epic with the sun on our side we make our way further towards the city the streets of palmo there is one Savory street food snack that I’ve been excited to try so we make our way to a small

Courtyard that brings us to a Hidden Gem of a place called eok that is full of delicious Sicilian snacks all right we’re going strong next stop on this food list is in this little Alleyway there’s a really nice shopping Street and then we kind of found a little sign

Back here and it’s called e Kini is the restaurant’s name but we came here for these delicious fried rice doughballs we got two different types and we’ll just open it up and see what’s in it these are called arini oh that’s the ham and cheese this

One is the ham and cheese one oh and it looks so good it smells so good it’s very warm to the touch she just gave it to us then and there 1 each for these things and they’re the classic street food snack here in Sicily so inside there is rice there’s ham

There’s cheese all battered and then deep fried into this warm nice little ball this is my type of stuff I love fried food and I love rice so and cheese and and cheese and ham so just put it all together this is like a 10 out 10 thing for me

Mhm this could very well be a little fried potato but it’s not fried rice he just imagines anything round in as a potato let me break that open as well Ooh Yeah o nice it’s like bolog onise and a rice ball she said this one is

Filled with meat it looks like a little bit of bolog onise in there she said this one’s filled with beef and it smells really nice yeah dude I like this too I expected this to taste a little bit like a pizza snack but with the rice it’s very different it’s very

Oily but super satisfying man for for Euro if we haven’t had to eat 10 more things then I would just go in there and get a couple more M dude both very nice this is an awesome start to the street I never heard of this before what this arini arini yeah

So good we were extremely satisfied with the last stop but it’s time to continue on we walked around the city passing beautiful historic buildings so we’re slowly making our way deeper into palmo and it definitely got a little more beautiful like these old buildings came

Out to this big Plaza here what is it here Piaza I think I like some of the architecture some of it feels very old some of it feels very run down it’s interesting to see kind of the contrast it seems to be like the Main Street walking through these canyons in the

Buildings look pretty epic it’s so it’s going as long as you can see and then you hit this mountain in the back pretty nice passing tourist attractions a TI and passing plenty of churches also building up an appetite for the next street food snack Sicilian style pizza

All right for next stop we stopped here right in the heart of this walking street that crosses the city and we had to get a piece of spinon this is Sicilian style pizza and it’s very different than all the Italian style pizzas that I know because it’s very

Thick bread and it’s also square and not round so they make a full tray of this it’s very tomato heavy I would assume there’s some cheese underneath looks so good smells nice too see it’s very heavy it’s very heavy for a piece of this size

Yeah so they have a whole tray there and then they warm it up for you as you order it m good so far I’m so happy with Italian food I love everything tomato based tastes very strong herbal like basil flavored very thick bread and then there’s just onions in the sauce in here

And overall very nice it tastes still kind of like pizza but more herbal it’s just good it’s more of a big bread this is like more of a bread style bread than a pizza dough it’s very very heavy very dense it’s really good a still Side

Pizza so this looks so fluffy like way fluffier than the crusts I’m used to too M it’s way more oniony than I expected there’s a fat layer of onions under here and it’s quite nice it’s very fresh it doesn’t have that typical like neopolitan style pizza that I’m used to

It’s a lot heartier than the th Crust Pizza I’m used to yeah it’s really good though only 250 for this too so far the prices are great this really feels like the street Food City anything because this is huge Long Street and there stands everywhere and the arini every couple meters

For either clo or food yeah and so many like snack stores where you can just get fried stuff like to go that’s uh it seems like very very Street foodie we turned off of the main walking Street to a side street that appeared to have more

Of a market Vibe with fresh fish and seafood for sale there was also a small section of restaurants and the smell of grilled meat and spices reached our noses instantly we saw bacon wrapped vegetables freshly made sausages and various grilled organs the meat display enticed us so we ordered our next street

Food snack at this open grill called D Jolly all right so what we stumbled upon here has to be the most epic street food Corner in all of Palo they’re grilling everything there on the Street Grill so went over there asked for this sausage which is is like pork sausage they have

There raw and on display then he throws it on the grill and it’s grilled freshly there for you they put it on a panini on this Panini there’s lettuce there’s tomato there’s bell peppers and spicy sauce on top I’m just going to dig in

Yet it just looks like I of a movie set this literally looks like a movie set there’s a whole bunch of small Alleyways there’s wet Market Seafood going on this is 4 see how good it is wow so juicy this is very good the sausage is very rough very chunky I

Think there’s a good amount of chunky fat pieces in there but it’s not too bad it’s very juicy when you B in there and then the spicy sauce he offered me is tobasco so you can taste the Tobasco but I’m surprised by the amount of fresh ingredients that are on here as well

This is actually very decent and yeah this is not for that thing that’s not a bad deal I’m Amazed by some of the prices here I feel like you can get a lot of great filling options for a pretty affordable price satisfied with the street meet we make our way back to

The main shopping street stopping by the Fontana Petoria and quatro kti the four cornered intersection of these beautiful historic buildings I’m happy to see another country that has TK TS because I’m a big Thailand Tuk fan and I didn’t know that they had them in Italy as well

As many but they do it’s kind of cool and craving a little sweet treat we couldn’t go to Italy without tasting some gelato all right we just got a Brios gelato which is apparently something that originated here in Sicily it’s the original Ice Cream Sandwich and

We found it of course in this endless street food Street here in palmo it’s a BRI bun in a bread roll size I would say like personal size has a little nabby on top could be a little boo actually and then it’s got open and they filled it up

With a good amount of pistachio ice cream I think these are at least two scoops so she was like yeah pistachio is the way to go and then she scooped it up and put it in there you get it with a spoon and uh I think I’m just going to

Try the ice cream first gelato finally it’s pistachio gelato because there’s so much pistachio here and I love it really good I didn’t expect any less from Italy this is actually where the gelato originated also so ice cream sandwiches remind me of Summertime In The USA I had them all the

Time as a kid you know before College in my lactose and tolerance kicked in but when in Italy right oh my God I love it I love pistachio ice cream it’s one of my favorites it’s actually my mom’s favorite ice cream and we used to always

Have a tub of it in the freezer but it would never last very long bite into it don’t bite all the way through it just try the bun M I like it beautiful though it’s got a little boob no he ate it oh finishing up that delicious gelato we continue

Walking through the city we pass more gelato shops and several souvenir stores with these cute aini and canoli magnets in between filming these food stops we like to just walk around the side streets of a city and this next stop was an unplanned stop but we couldn’t just

Walk by without trying something so we just walked down another Street and there was this little street food stall he’s literally out there having a little display of like mini pizzas and mini lasanas and what’s more Italian than a pizza or a lasagna this is €3 so very

Cheap very small actually not that small I’m so curious here’s two I only have a for oh it’s hard to break apart to be honest oh look at those layers okay we have peas in there there’s some carrots there’s some bnes I’m not sure how much

Meat is in there but yeah a little street food lasagna here in the streets of palmo actually very good the first thing I taste is tastes a little bit more like a vegetable lasagna but very good it’s very cooked through is there any meat in it it could be a vegetable lasagna no

There’s there’s a little bit of meat in there there’s a little bit of bolog meat in here but dude this city feels really like the street Food City everything is on the streets like the Stalls you can get everything to go very quickly and it’s just food left right everywhere

Very nice all right so we’re here and we saw this and it looks really good he has sheets of the sicy style pizza just laid out there if we hadn’t already eaten that we might have gotten it here but then we sold this and it has eggplant I

Know a lot of Italian dishes have eggplant in it and I personally love love love eggplant this looked really good so we had to try it we’re just uh seeing things on the street and giving it a try this is three and it’s a pretty big and heavy Piece [Applause] M you have the nice dough there you have the tomato sauce and then you have this eggplant and I love eggplant it’s this nice like mushy texture but it goes really well on top of it’s kind of like spreadable also I think the uh poo area

Is home to some eggplant dishes right don’t didn’t some originate here like a eggplant Parmesan eggplant Parmesan we might find that we have an eye open for it but we haven’t seen it yet but if we see it we might eat it I just think it’s

Amazing you can get a little lasagna on the street how awesome is this if we lived here I’d get this bring it home3 bada bing bada boom let’s go before we continue to the last stop please like the video and subscribe to our channel for more food and travel videos a big

Man thank you all right for this stop still in the heart of palmo we came to this street food stall it literally advertises street food on the site so they have a lot of seafood stuff of course they have canoli again and arini but since Sicily is an island and palmos

Run on the coast we got a mixed Seafood thing here and there are three different things in there there are mini calamary in there there are manyi octopus and then little prawns and I’m just going to start with this little calamari since it’s already on my stick and uh this

Little guy put it in your mouth M very nice obviously they’re all deep fried again so it’s a little oily but they literally do it fresh for you there they dump them in and then you get it there’s no sauce or anything with it but I think

It doesn’t need it there’s a slight lemon hint of it so I think they’re squeezing some fresh lemon on here so whenever I think of street food on an island I always think of fried seafood and then we have these little calamari rings which is so classic to me smells

Nice packed with people ordering things and they’re making everything fresh there this was €10 for this Seafood combination here and we’ll give it a try not bad I do wish there was some type of tartar sauce maybe that’s the American in me but I would like some type of

Sauce with it as you dive deeper we have these little fish these whole fish look like little sardines so we’re going to go for it they smell a little Fishier whoa I just ate it bone and everything dissolves in your mouth is very fishy oh yeah they have this like Herring taste definitely the most flavorful of this lot if you can’t tell it’s street food um we’re literally on the street and if you can’t tell street

Food has a lot of fried food going within I feel like this fits the theme it’s quite nice all right this is where we ended that was our Italian street food tour here from palmo on Sicily and it was very nice yes I’m so full let us know what

Your favorite Italian street food is we’d love to hear about it and eat it yeah we’re going to make our way back to our cruise ship we continue with Italian food next week so stick around for that thank you so much for watching we’ll see you next time byebye bye just one tip

You need a lot of napkins yeah in the city I’ve used like five Tash and two packets here I haven’t remember every pocket

  1. NO WAY JOSE would I ever eat Calamari aka Squid OR Octopus !! Ewwwww ! YUCK ! 🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮

  2. You couldn't pay me all the money in the Texas Lotto to eat any of that last item that you all ate !~ That scoop of Fried Seafood with the Calamari, Octopus, little herring fishes etc; The only thing that I would have ate would have been the Shrimp and that is all !!!

  3. So funny, we JUST booked a trip to Sicily in a few weeks. Perfekt glimpse of what's to come, thanks for all the inspiration!

  4. You have to try the real focaccia – only the dough with seasalt and oliveoil on it – don't need more 😉😉. I grew up in Milano and this was the best thing ever and they sold it at school for very little money – have much fun on your further Italy Tour! 👋👋

  5. I just love seeing these foodthingies so much. Especially since i'll never go there (don't like to travel), but they give me so much inspiration to make other foods at home. Thank you🍀
