Sicilian street food is different from province to province, and here in the province of Messina you will have the opportunity to taste some
specialties that you don’t find in other places. We will start with the first Sicilian speciality such as the “Focaccia” o “Cartucciata” or
“Scacciata”: What is this? a kind of pizza that is thicker than the Neapolitan pizza; it is seasoned with Sicilian cheese, tomatoes and a nice
vegetable, the curly endive, with a slightly sour taste. Are you ready for the second Sicilian speciality? the “Arancino”. You can find it
everywhere in Sicily, but in the eastern coast the shape is different: it is not a perfect “ball” but it has a peak as ETNA and therefore it is also
easier to bite… The taste is really an experience not to miss: the “arancino” is a ball of fried rice, filled with different ingredients; the basic
filling can be ragout or mozzarella cheese + ham, but it is not difficult to find the version with mushrooms, spinaches and so on. After eating you’ll. for sure, be thirsty and we’ll let you trying a Chinotto, a soft drink flavoured with sour oranges Than we’ll continue to walk for having a nice dessert in a bakery to taste a typical Sicilian cake as Cannolo or another type of sicilian cake Our food experience must end – of course – with a refreshing sweet and in the province of Messina what it is better than a Granita? Nothing else… especially in the warm days, cause it is a crushed-ice drink.
