“A flawless journey through Catania's rich food history. From snacks to dessert, it's a full course of Catanese cuisine. Our guide, Gisela, was deeply versed in Catania's cultural, geological, and culinary history. As a chef herself, she took the time to explain how each dish was prepared. She had a genuine love for Catania and it's culinary delights, and was a skilled and enthusiastic guide.”
