Hey Agata! Where will you land? Palermo or Catania?

no specific restaurants since it’s all street food, but you have to try arancini (fried stuffed rice balls) and, if you’re near Palermo, a sandwich with panelle (chickpea fritters), as well as the classic ice cream brioche

Can second that recommendation of arancini. They’re incredible, particularly ones with melted mozzarella & pesto inside…

Hi Agata! Last summer, Kristina and I went to Sicily and explored the east coast from Catania Sicily is way bigger than you might think, so if you’re planning to stay for around 6 days and flying in and out of the same airport, I recommend focusing on one area of the island. This will save you from going crazy driving all over the place and let you enjoy and explore the area fully This, more or less has been our itinerary: Catania Etna Day Taormina (Isola Bella) Siracusa (isola di Ortigia is amazing) Spiaggia Fontane Bianche & Spiaggia di Calamosche Noto (Best wine at Avola) Spiaggia di San Lorenzo di Noto Ragusa Back to Catania

As Raffa said there are a lot of stuffs to see in Sicily in different points of the island, and unfortunately I better know the “Catania side” too But given you will land in Palermo, I suggest to you to go to Valle Dei Templi, not so near but not so far, (there I saw the most beautiful sunset of my entire life), Cefalù, and I suggest to reach San Vito Lo Capo for wonderful beaches

If you are a fan of Netflix’s chef’s table there is a cafe sicilia they covered in a place called Noto. Haven’t been personally but is on my wish list. Chef’s Table Pastry Episode 2: ‘Corrado Assenza’ Recap | Eater
