Street food is a true lifestyle in Catania. The crown belongs to arancini<\/strong>, but scacciate<\/strong> (pies with local cheeses, anchovies and vegetables), crispell<\/strong>e (fried dough stuffed with ricotta cheese and anchovies) and zeppole di riso<\/strong> (rice fritters) are worthy opponents. Then there are the cartocciata<\/strong>, the bolognese<\/strong>, the cipollina<\/strong>, the pat\u00e9<\/strong> and the bomb<\/strong>. More street food not to be missed is quarum<\/strong>i and cipollata<\/strong>.<\/p>\nWhen it’s time to sit at the table, start with a good appetizer. You can choose among various local cheeses<\/strong> or decide for the famous caponat<\/strong>a (sweet and sour mixed vegetables).<\/p>\nPasta triumphs over the first courses: alla Norma<\/strong>, alla carrettiera<\/strong>, with sardines<\/strong> or with cuttlefish ink<\/strong>. And still more pasta: with seasoned ricotta cheese<\/strong> or flavoured with a pistiachio cream<\/strong> (pistacchiosa).<\/p>\nThe main courses offer meat specialties such as falso magro<\/strong> (lean meat) and horse meat<\/strong>. While among the fish dishes, you will find grilled tuna<\/strong>, beccafico sardines<\/strong> and swordfish<\/strong>.<\/p>\nFinally, the desserts. Cassatelle<\/strong> and olivette di Sant\u2019Agata<\/strong>, cannoli<\/strong>, iris<\/strong>, panzerotti<\/strong>, pistachio from Bronte<\/strong> and brioche with granita<\/strong> or ice cream<\/strong>, you just have to postpone the diet to another time![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”BUS STOP DESCRIPTION” tab_id=”1527865027893-5593ac54-f5b8″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nCATANIA BUS TERMINAL<\/h3>\n
