SICILY STREET FOOD | BEST STREET FOOD TOUR in PALERMO, SICILY
We’re in Palermo, Sicily! In this 3 part series we’re hunting down the best Sicilian food and Sicilian street food. Palermo has a thriving street food culture that’s big on offal and punchy, bold flavours.
This is our second video from Palermo and it’s all about Sicilian street food! We start the day with one of Palermo’s most popular street foods pani ca meusa or spleen sandwich. A sesame covered roll is stuffed with chopped spleens and lungs of veal and if you want ricotta or caciocavallo cheese. We opt for the sandwich sans cheese as this is the legit traditional way to eat it. It’s super tasty!
Next up we sample a sandwich stuffed with pane e panella and crocche- chickpea fritters and potato croquettes- reflective of Palermo’s diverse food culture which has been influenced by its historical invaders. Then it’s onto one of Sicily’s most delicious treats- gelato in brioche which is often eaten for breakfast! We get a tip from some locals we meet at lunch to visit a gelato shop widely considered to be the best in Palermo as they use purely natural ingredients. It is indeed fantastic and you get a tonne of gelato in your brioche!
We then head to a bakery outside the historic centre of Palermo to find sfincione- this region’s version of pizza. The Sicilians have been baking sfincione since the mid 1800’s and you’ll see it all over town. However we highly recommend this bakery- the sfincione was out of this world! The bread is light as air and the tomato sauce mixture is packed full of flavour. We end with stigghiola at Vucciria Market- lamb intestines cooked over the grill. Delicious!
We hope you enjoyed this street food in Italy video, thanks for watching! #sicilianstreetfood #italystreetfood #sicilyfood

We’re all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won’t find food that’s been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.
