Catania is a capital of Sicilian street food, from arancini and cartocciata to seafood snacks sold at market stalls and family-run friggitorie. Seeking out traditional producers and slow-food vendors supports artisan makers and preserves centuries-old culinary traditions. Eating and buying from these small local sellers keeps Catanias distinctive street-food heritage alive and channels spending directly to independent Sicilian food artisans across the old town.
