Street Food in Sicily 🇮🇹 CHEESE VOLCANO ARANCINI in Catania + BEST Fish Market in Italy!

- In this video, we are Catania! Many travellers come to Catania to catch a glimpse of Mt Etna, a giant volcano on the outskirts of the ancient port. But we’re here to EAT, so join us while we show you all of the amazing Sicilian food to try in Catania!
We are starting our morning at the insane Catania Fish Market. This place is buzzing with fish mongers screaming, chopping and transporting seafood that came fresh from the port early in the morning. For seafood lovers, this market is heaven!
📍Pescheria di Catania
Within the market are a few seafood restaurants and street food stalls. We stopped into a fried fish joint and ordered a Fish in Cone (no bones) for breakfast! The mixed fish were fresh and super crunchy!
📍Scirocco (inside fish market)
As the fish market slowly closed for the day, we made our way across Catania for some Sicilian treats. We stopped into a pasticceria and ordered a few dishes. The first was Arinicina Ragu, which was shaped like Mt. Etna and STUFFED with cheese! The next dish was Cassata which is a Sicilian sponge cake. It was a little too sweet for us. We also ordered our favourite Italian dessert, cannoli. These are so incredible in Sicily!!! And to wash it all down and balance the sweetness, we ordered a shakerato coffee. This caffe had a traditional feel!
📍Pasticceria Savia
After exploring Catania in the afternoon, it was time to eat a unique Sicilian dinner. We went to a local trattoria that is famous for their horse meat, which we had never tried before. We ordered the horse fillet steak, a plate of mussels and caponata (fried eggplant salad). The horse was absolutely delicious and served medium rare, and we highly recommend trying it while in Catania!
📍Trattoria del Cavaliere

There is not a good or a bad cuisine, just the one you like the best. Nobody thinks it’s silly to invest two hours’ work in two minutes’ enjoyment, but if cooking is evanescent, well, so is the ballet. Love from Korea🇰🇷💕
The Elephant (O liotru in Sicilian) at the Duomo square represents a legend about a magician (Heliodoro, and the name Liotru comes from this), which flew over Catania on top of the elephant to cast a spell on the city, and finally he was killed there.
Small elephants roamed in Sicily long before the Greeks came, so when they arrived, they found the skulls of this prehistoric animal, and because of the three holes in it, they thought they were giants with three eyes.
Now the elephant is the symbol of the city.
On the other hand, Savia isn't the best place to eat anymore. There are more delicious "tavola calda" (arancini, pizzette...) at small bars. Better the Caffè Al Duomo, with the delicious granita.
Espresso coffee in Italy is served only after a meal, or for breakfast with a croissant or a sweet.
Thanks for the information Marcelo! We will keep the tips in mind for our next visit!
I am Italian and I am happy that you enjoyed our food🇮🇹
I'm Sicilian and your welcome.
What a great episode. very good job in making us discover Italian gastronomy. thank you very much friends. we love you from Morocco
Thanks for watching guys :)
@@LukeMartin I am watching too.
* Sicilian gastronomy please
I was born and raised in Catania. Used to go to Savia for the best Arancini. Horse meat is always served with oil and vinegar. Not to mask anything, just the way we serve pretty much any grilled meats. Next time go to Zafferana Etnea, at the foot of Mount Etna and eat at Trattoria N’Da Calata for the best, typical Sicilian cuisine. Tell them Elisa send you.
Another great episode, love Italian food. Especially the desserts 🤤
I envy those who roamed the square at the same time as the Sicilian elephant!
That is a fun filled video. Sabrina told a good tale of Sicilian elephant 😂🤣 love the new Italian food you are showing us.
😂😂😂
Well said about the elephants Sabrina 😁
Desserts look delicious. Most of all I love the sound of the piano accordion ☺️ beautiful episode. I would never guess the horse steak. Very interesting.
Really enjoy your channel. Each post reminds me of my time living and traveling around Europe. Such a pleasant sense of calm and normalcy when things in the US and elsewhere are still in shock from the last 5 years. You remind me of the friends I made over there. Love from NYC.
Thanks for watching Ryan! Glad you enjoyed
Sabrina 'oh wow' *everything
Awesome video! The accordion player is so well known now due to TH-cam videos! He probably wishes he could get royalties bless him!
Wow amazing food.. very mouth watering 😍😍😍😍 i like it 👏👏
I think you are my no 1 youtube travelfood channel now. I wish for more success of this channel. Excellent content as always.
Wow thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your lovely video！
I love Street Food in Sicily, food there is so attractive.
You did a great job again！
謝謝分享, thanks for sharing！👍😀👏
What an episode of the beautiful city! The bazaars looking great, especially the fish market. I was so amazed to see the sculptures spread all over the city. I noticed some of the old vintage signs, made of concrete with a common element of an elephant icon at the top, but the statue of the black elephant in the main square was exceptionally beautiful, the stone color, the texture, the details are so beautiful.
The food looks traditional and yummy! It seems Luke doesn't have a sweet tooth and he never enjoyed sweet, Thumbs up Chopstick Travels!
i love to see more of village food and culture. btw. great video.
One more time, fantastic job guys! Stay safe
Interesting video. Loved the fresh seafood. Like, I grew up with horses. I had my own Shetland pony and growing old a horse. I will try all the seafood, but not the horse meat. 💕
Some claim there once lived flocks of dwarf elephants at the foot of Mount Etna. Others say it is in memory of the wizard Eliodoro from the 8th century, who could turn into an elephant, or at least shape a magical elephant out of clay to carry him back and forth between Catania and Constantinople. Still others argue that the elephant stands as a symbol of the victory Catania won over Libya, and Catania was known as elephant town already during the Arab occupation. And then there are those who believe that the local elephant myth comes from an antique circus, and that the people of Catania since the 1200s have used elephants as good-luck charm to protect them against outbreaks of Etna.
Wow! Lots of interesting theories!
I'm from Catania and I can confirm the first two theories about the dwarfs elephants (Palaeoloxodon falconeri) that lived in Sicily and Malta (problably the elephant skulls have given rise to the myth of the cyclops) and the myth of the wizard Eliodoro
After the horse maybe they ate the elephants.
@@LukeMartin Noi siciliani siamo come gli ARABI 😋
Beautiful wonderful awesome clean and berthtaking and have view bro
I love Italy and Chesses. Thank you for your nice video.😍👍

@@LukeMartin indeed and I am learning it
Such a gorgeous place and the food!!! I'm Swiss they serve horse there too but I've never had it your brave!!! 😀😃
You should try it sometime, it was actually really tasty!
We eat horse regularly in Italy, it's a common thing. Try it, deliciuos, a little bit sweet.
Your the best guys from london here
Thanks so much Andrew!
Yummy fish lab , yes need to plan and visit
very nice and very yammmy
I love fish and chicken and I am chicken and fish lover bro
Love this fish market. I have a picture of the guy cutting the fish with the large knife
FANTASTIC LUKE :)))) WELCOME TO CATANIA
You cracked me up when you said the “horsey flavor”.
Good job 👍😊
I can't understand problem with horse meet, you eat fish, chicken, veal all that are living animals for me the most disgusting thing is eating Lobster they coock them alive and if you are in the kitchen you can hear Lobster screaming and that is ok but not horse meet just hipocrisy.
for some cultures.. also European like Albanian.. horse is like a domestic puppy.. I' m Italian and some Albanian friends of mine were horrified when they discovered they tried horse meat in a Italian restaurant near Tourin 😄😄😄
(but they liked it before knowing what it was.. they liked it 😅😅😅😅)
Greetings from Genova, Italy ♥️😎
Italy Looks So Nice! I Wish I’d went there! Looks Awesome! Very Beautiful!
The famous last word I'know what I'm doing 👍
That arancino reminds me of the Suppli in Rome which are the smaller cousins of these. I want to try a proper arancino in Sicily one day.
Italian cuisine is the best in the world
Sunday Night Food Travel❤❤❤ Now watching 4th episode (ITALY SERIES) thanks Luke and Sabrina😊😊 Keep Safe Always😇😇
Woohoo!! Many more to come from Italy!
Sword fish is another symbol of Sicily, probably the only place where you can find real fresh sword fish in Italy.
When are you going to Peru? They just won best cook and best food competition in the world Chef Pia Leon
Best female chef*
I wish kindly your 8milion subscriber bro
Tried raw horse meat in Japan once and it does taste like lean beef, I like it over beef just like you do, too bad that you don't get to eat horse meat often, it's as rare as wagyu.
True, it's quite uncommon in most places!
Hi you two, I hope you gave the wonderful accordion player a tip. He's most likely retired and could really use the money. :)
@7:00 she said 'Savia Pasticceria' on via Umberto. @9:32, that resembles the famous 'Napoli de Venus' (Venus' nipple (breast). You see them in the movie Amadeus.
Enjoyed this episode a lot
جميل جدا بالتوفيق 😍

I Love Italy 💝
Great street food in Catania!
I’ve never had horse meat, I’m not sure if I could eat it unless I didn’t know what it was. Cassata is just delicious 🥰
You couldn’t tell the difference between beef or the horse!
The fountain at the market’s entrance is actually an underground river called Amenano!
Oh wow, super interesting!
Ma a voi 2 piace tutto . Ciao simpaticoni
that elephant is actually the symbol of the city, we call it the "liotro"
Haha wow! Arancini looked like pocket of delicious cheesy goodness! I'm so down for that horse meat lol - does look like steak. Everything looked so good! Can't wait to go to Italy (one day)!
Catania is your place then!

It is from unconventional wet market to shop all the scrumptious simple street foods.. it’s is similar where I was born.. but sculptures and specially elephant one is soo inimitable.. I am not travel -person for sake of scenery but I do want to try foodie’s trip like u guys.. of course filming for me reminiscing !!! I am super glad that I recently subscribed this channel, good for killing time and now so much to catch up.. better than Netflix. Hahaha.
Guys be safe wherever u go:)) ciao ciao!!!
You got more older since the last video 😂😂. Thanks for letting us discover Sicilian food❤.
Just 1 day older than the last video hahah!
Going to Sicily this fall. Definitely going to try the 🐴 meat.
Enjoy your travels and food!!!
Fun fact: The cassatella is also called 'minniceddi di sant'Agata' which derives from the story of the martyr Saint Agatha (patron of Catania). She was tortured by the rich man she refused to marry (as she wanted to be close to God, and vowed to remain virgin). He had her breasts cut with pincers, and so Cassatella also resemble that shape, and is often eaten during the Saint's two celebrations of the year.
Other fan fact: In Kingston upon Thames (Greater London) there's a church of Saint Agatha of Sicily, where you can see her sculpture holding a whip and the pincers.
Thank you for showing the market scenery, city scenery, and delicious food videos in an unfamiliar city. Watching you eat makes me hungry. thank you. Have a good time.💖💖💖
fozza catania❤️💙
Trattoria Del Cavaliere in Catania - where 🐎 is a main dish.
For good reason!
Very nice guys. Come to Germany, I’d love to be your guide ❤️❤️
Hello, you are wonderful and I love you, but I cannot understand most of what you are . Please activate the translation into Arabic. Thank you. I love you so much
Loved this video....having a hard time on trying the horse :-) Heading to Sicily in Oct.
You’ve got to try it!
The spinach arancinu would be yummy
I think so too!

My city, you are welcome, everybody are welcome in Catania... art, food, mount Etna, sea, sun and cheerfulness
Italy has great places to visit and good food. I am really glad you two are there :)
We had a blast, thanks so much for watching!
@@LukeMartin sri lanka
No offends but how can u drink a coffee and eat something salty..we Italians will never understand this.. a lemon,.water ,maybe a white wine or my opinion a beer is good with an arancina
Delicious food
So happy and proud you came in my city...
Great explanation Sabrina about the elephant. Great video as usual Luke
You are one brave sole for eating all these odd foods.
Thank you guys for your wonderful videos. It's so good to see my country described so well in English! I have subscribed to your channel and I look forward to see your next videos
Amazing thank you!
Always intrigues how Candians pronounce about/aboot, out/oot.
Thank you for sharing your travel experience and all the delicious cuisines. I really enjoy watching all your videos: wonder if you two are going to layover in Genova and Trevino too?
Thanks so much! Not this time, unfortunately!
❤️🙏
Warmest greetings from: Pontianak- West Kalimantan, Indonesia🇮🇩
the story is a little bit wrong about the elephant..it was the turkey dominataion..and now its the symbole of catania.. that the elephant look up..it brings luck.
Coffee with an arancino? Ouch. Some sparkling water or aranciata would be more a lá Catanese. Save the coffee on its own later in the day. Nice tour.
Horse meat make warm body if eating more, this is what I feel when eaten before. But the taste good 😊
👍👍👍❤❤❤🤝🤝🤝
Ciao Luke n Sabrina. Benvenuti.
The fish market, very noisy but hey... such a entertaining people. I hope you enjoyed our dear Mediterranean pearl, Sicily. Thank you for your wonderful video
