Sicily, located in the southern region of Italy, is known for its rich and diverse food culture, and it's a great summer destination. With a history influenced by different civilizations such as Greek, Roman, Arab, and Spanish, Sicilian cuisine offers a unique blend of flavors and ingredients.

From traditional summer dishes like arancini (fried rice balls stuffed with meat or cheese) and pasta alla Norma (pasta with eggplant and tomato sauce) to refreshing street food favorites like panelle (chickpea fritters) and sfincione (Sicilian-style pizza), and of course the classic Italian salads, Sicily offers a culinary delight for every palate during the warm summer months.

One of the best ways to experience authentic Sicilian cuisine is through Eatwith hosts. These local hosts open up their homes to guests and offer cooking classes, food tours, and home-cooked meals using traditional recipes passed down through generations.
