Description

Discover Ortigia’s market with a local host and taste directly from the stalls, surrounded by fresh seafood, local products, and authentic stories. Step straight into the heart of the experience: the Ortigia Market. There are no fixed stops or tourist restaurants. Move through the stalls, stopping at different vendors for small tastings, just like locals do. What will you taste? It also depends on the day, but you may try: raw red shrimp, boiled octopus, fried calamari, pane cunzato with salted ricotta and lemon, mortadella with white wine, fresh fruit, almond cookies, limoncello, a sandwich from Borderi with prosecco, arancini (ragù or Norma style), and almond granita with brioche. After the market, continue with a walk through Ortigia’s historic streets: cross the Jewish Quarter, pass by Piazza Archimede with a stop to enjoy an arancino, and reach the Duomo. The tour ends as you return toward the starting point. This is not a full meal, but a dynamic experience made of many small, authentic tastings.
