We're in Palermo, Sicily! In this 3 part series we're hunting down the best Sicilian food and Sicilian street food. Palermo has a thriving food culture that's big on offal and punchy, bold flavours.
This is our third video from Palermo and it's all about the best local Sicilian food- we eat a street food favourite- arancine a deep fried rice ball stuffed with ragu from a local's favourite before we devour a traditional Sicilian lunch at Trattoria da Pino- a family run restaurant specialising in Sicilian classics from caponata, pasta con le sarde (sardine pasta) and seafood. We cap the day off with granita at the best granita cafe in Palermo owned by a friendly Sicilian gentleman called Pino.
We hope you enjoyed this Sicily food tour video, thanks for watching! #sicilianfood #sicilyfood #italystreetfood

We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our RUclips videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.
We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.
From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.

Anytime you guys and for Sheena, thank goodness you fell much better too! 😉
😘😘😘😘 thanks Jade! So glad to be on the up! 🙌
Awww l didnt realise Sheena was in Hospital in Sicily and in Istanbul. Thats awful for you both and must have been super stressful. Glad no lasting effects. You like like a little energiser bunny as usual.
Brilliant But Blue luckily just in Istanbul 😄 I think we were posting Sicily whilst I was unwell in Turkey 😆
Hey Thomas & Sheena ....new fan here from India...you guys will be really successful one day !!! I am watching all the old videos too ...loving it
The last guy sums up why everyone should travel - that you can meet the most amazing people even when you can’t say much to them. His smile said it all!!!! Meanwhile - so hungry now!
Totally agree Clare! Pino was so charming- we visited him most days and felt like we’d made a new friend by the time we’d left Palermo 😄 thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Hope you enjoyed it 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Look at all the OG’s at Trattoria da Pino! And they gave you a fresh plate - wow! That’s hospitality!
Love eating at places where all the OG’s hang out 😆
Yay!! You are back!!! Soooo awesome!!

Sicily looks like a real gem. The spots you visited looked rustic and full of life. Love the guy making the granita - what a dude....and the dish itself would be right up our street 😎😍

Glad to see you back! I'm happy to know that Sheena's surgery went well and she'll be back, gallivanting all over, to keep us all drooling. You two are the Dynamic Duo of hidden food gems, and the world is a better place because of you. I was smart enough to have some BBQ crisps on hand for watching the video. Now I'm off to make coconut curry red snapper and jasmine rice for supper. The curry is inspired by your Malaysia series!
Omg MsKestrela, that red snapper coconut curry sounds amazing! My mouth is watering just thinking about it 🤤 thank you for your lovely words- I’m so glad to be on the up and will DEFINITELY be gallivanting (love that word 😆) from here on in. Hope you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Thanks for another fun video.
I hope Sheena is feeling better. While it is never good to have to go to hospital, the staff are always brilliant. I'm sure you met some nice people.
I am thanks Stephen! Definitely on the up 😍 I was looked after so well in hospital here- despite the language barrier it was a stress free experience- totally down to the staff! Thanks for watching this one and we're so glad you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena

Great to see you back, Sheena! Also Thomas! 😁

Sicilian-American here and I love seeing people enjoy the culture and food. 💚

It was delicious Ales L! Perfectly cooked 😍 thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
The coffee dessert looks delicious!
It was unreal! I think I had it about 5 times while we were in Sicily. I couldn’t get enough. It was mega hot also so it was a perfect way to cool off and have a pick me up. Thanks so much for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀
I definitely see the Northern African/Arab influence in the food, people and architecture.
I really want to visit for the food 🤤
It’s so fascinating to see!! Omg that granita- I think about it all the time. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one Maria G. Cheers, Sheena
Great to see you back 👍😁 i dont think i could choose between those granitas. Id have to have both!
Thanks guys 😍 happy to be on the up! It was agony deciding whether to go fruit or coffee every time we ate there 😝 it was one of our favourite spots in Palermo! Hope you enjoyed this video guys, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate loved it as always 👍
Wow your back nice to see you both sis and big bro
Thanks mate! So happy to be back 😍😍😍 hope you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching! Cheers, Sheena
Sheena's granita looked pure heaven 😍😍😍
It was amaaaazing mate! We had one most days 😆 thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one 😄 Cheers, Sheena
That coffee dessert looks so good.🙂
Oh my goodness we were addicted to it! Thomas couldn’t go past it every time we had granita! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed the video mate. Cheers, Sheena
amazing. well done
Thanks so much for watching enter a name here! So happy you enjoyed this video. It really was a joy to film- we loved Palermo! Hope you enjoy the rest of our Italy series. Cheers, Sheena
Your food made my mouth water.
😄😄😄😄 me too Joan, especially thinking about that granita! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
I love Sicily. you're amazing place
It’s awesome right?! We fell in love with it too! Thanks for watching and commenting on this video- hope you enjoy our other Palermo videos! Cheers, Sheena
Granita, now where have l seen that recently 🤔. The Watermelon one you made in NZ was just missing the Piazza and the proud owner to have made it perfect!! Pasta with potatoes double carbs double the pleasure. Once again the beautiful moments with the owner/restaurateur are what shines through the food. You certainly packed a ton of eating into this 3 part series in Sicily. What an amazing array.
Now l guess its off to Istanbul for me, the final playlist for me to chase. 🙂
Omg you just reminded me that, that’s still hanging around waiting to be eaten 😆 There are too many sweets being made in this house we can’t keep up 🤣 We met so many lovely people in Sicily, warm and generous folks. So happy you enjoyed this series Brilliant But Blue. Cheers, Sheena
Great food video. Love to see your interactions with the local food proprietors and some kitchen scenes - please keep them as one of your main/regular features.
Do have to say though, that since grapes have been grown in Sicily for over 2,500 years, it would only be natural that they had already been preserving some of the grapes (making raisins) well before the post-6th century Arabs/North Africans turned up.
Hi Ken Lee. Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback. We love getting into the kitchen etc so show as much of that action as possible in all our videos. Interaction with the people making the food etc is always brilliant also when people are happy to be on camera.
Makes total sense with the grapes. I think it was more the style in which they were used with this sort of dish becoming popular. I believe the Arabs/North Africans changed the cuisine a bit with their arrival.
Speaking of grapes we'd love to tour more of Sicily to try some more of their wine. We hear there are some pretty great drops to be found.
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Cheers, Thomas 😀
Yay!!! I'm so glad you're recovering well! Missed you two 🙂
😘😘😘😘 thanks so much Misty! So happy to be on the up! Hope you enjoyed this one- it was such a memorable day 🤗 thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
wooow~ that arancini look so good, gotta try to make it my self~ and that pasta wiith sardine, the eegplant and mackerel...boy i'm salivating right now~
Omg me too Bobby- it was such a great day of eating! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this video mate. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate glad to see you back to health sheena, be well and stay healthy~
Thanks so much mate! So happy to be on the road to recovery 😍
Love the hidden entrance to the arancine spot! The rice itself looks so moist. Liked how you included the history about the Arabs in Palermo - makes sense with the saffron
It was such a great spot! Took us a little while to find it but so glad we did 😆 thanks for watching and commenting guys- hope you liked this one! Cheers, Sheena
Can you tell the address or name of the place?
They don’t say the names of the restaurants they go to which is odd
Secret little places are the best!!
Those rice balls with tomato look so crispy but so rich inside
Love when they mix the pasta like that.
That’s just a wonderful combination of ingredients
I bet those sardines are the soul to the pasta
Agree Sheena the Arabs brought so many good spices and flavors to the Mediterranean coast
Wow I never had pasta with potato... that looks so creamy and yummyness (I make my own words lol)
Yummyness is a great word 🤣 I know right?! Carb on carb- of course it’s gonna be epic 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting on this one! So happy you enjoyed it 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Just subscribed I wish you both the best of luck!
Thanks so much Estelle! Hope you enjoy the content we have coming up on the channel 😄 Have a great week ahead! Cheers, Sheena
Palermo is beautiful and is food the best 😻👍🏼
We totally agree! We ate so well when we were there. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
Buon appetito! Cheers!
Such a great day of eating! Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena

Damm all the food is amazing
It is such a great city for eating 😄 I still dream about that granita. Thanks for watching and commenting Raas Prasad. Cheers, Sheena
Bedda vidéo =-). grazie =-).
Loved filming this one. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Oh yes bring on that caponata! Love eggplant!
Us too!! 🤤
This is so cool!! 😍😍😍 I did a student exchange in Palermo for a year back in 2010-2011... I’m from New Zealand and it’s so funny to see other kiwis there too! Loveeee this 😁👌🏽
😄😍😄😍 Hi Jessica Lucy Taurua! Thanks so much for watching- it’s always so awesome seeing Kiwis in the comments. That is amazing that you did an exchange in Palermo! Did you love it? Omg the food- bet you ate up a storm! So happy this brought back happy memories of your time in Sicily! Cheers, Sheena
Never tried that eggplant plate.. wow with all those veggies ! I can only imagine the great flavor the onion gives to that.
And the fish looks right on point of cooking
It was melt in your mouth guys! Sooo good. The caponata was brilliant- such a great sweet and sour flavour 🤤
That desert is making me drooling 🤤
The chocolate, the coffee, the powder in top!!
The fruit desert that Sheena is having looks very refreshing, I’m sure it’s great after a heavy lunch to help with digestion.
It has been decided ! Cooking pasta today ! Hahaha
Another wonderful episode !
😍😍😍😍😍 best be careful or we’ll show up for dinner!! Omg that granita was next level- the perfect antidote to the hot day! Thanks for watching guys! Cheers, Sheena
I’m so glad to see you back guys, Shena I’m lad you have recovered from your minor surgery. Those rice croquettes ( aroncini ) look wonderful, as an Italian I grew up eating them 😍. I love all the foods you both tied, Thanks for sharing
Thanks so much FitAngie!! 😍 So happy to be back! Omg they were sooo tasty! Did you make them at home? 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting mate! Cheers, Sheena
Hi so glad to see u again .tks for giving super video
Thanks so much Vrinda Iyer! So happy to be back posting again 😍 thanks for watching and commenting on this one- so happy you liked it! It was such a fun day to film! Cheers, Sheena
I like the ones with a stronger Ragu flavor. Oh yes follow the locals to the best foods. The best pasta dishes I've seen in a long time.😢😢😢 I need to go to a Italy now!!!!! Thanks you two!!!
Us too mate- we miss it! We loved the pasta in Sicily- the seafood was amazing. Thanks for watching and commenting on this one TE Lawsonstudio 😄 So happy you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Wow, you guys have come a long way since your pioneer days! I am immensely happy for you and may God bless your adventures!
😆😆🤪🤪🤪 oh gosh those were some cringey videos mate! So glad you think that we have improved along the way 🤣🤣🤣 thanks for watching and for your kind words on this one- hope you enjoyed it and like what we have coming up on the channel 😄 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate more power and more videos!!!!
For sure!!! 🙌
Palermo is Beautiful but I wish someone finally goes somewhere else in Sicily besides Palermo all the time, I went to a town down in the south of Sicily called Licata which is a province of Agrigento where the famous Valley of the Greek Temples are and loved Licata with it’s charming town and beautiful port, very delicious food.
Just hope you finally do get the chance to go there soon, I know you’ll also fall in love with Licata as I did.
Just wish more people knew of this town other than just the capital of Sicily.
Hi Alan Merda, thanks for watching and commenting! Hope you enjoyed this video. Licata sounds stunning- we love visiting smaller villages and towns but unfortunately on this trip we couldn't travel around like we prefer because of the cost. We had to prioritise the place with the most content opportunities. Hopefully the channel grows and we can venture to more of the lesser known spots in places like Sicily! Hope you enjoy the content we have coming up on the channel! Cheers, Sheena
Back and not even missing a beat!!! Yeah!!!
The prices are amazingly good too!!
😆😆😆😆 that’s very kind! Thanks Treasure Hunt Foodies 😄 Yes! We found Palermo quite affordable in comparison to Rome! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you guys are having a lovely weekend. Cheers, Sheena
Worth the wait. Hope all is well and that you’re recovering well, Sheena.
Awww thanks guys!! I’m feeling much better thank you 😄 so glad you enjoyed the video! Omg the food in Palermo is so good!! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
The food anywhere in Italy is different from elsewhere in Italy including the next village a few km away.
It’s incredible isn’t it. Sure a brilliant place to travel and eat. Thanks for watching. Thomas 😀
Yay, your back!!! And a great way to get back into things. Never tried sardines in pasta with raisins 😲 looks amazing.
Do love me some pan fried mackerel!
This is a true Foodie meal, and at such a great price too.
Yep, you guys are back into the swing of things :)
Best, James and Kim
Thanks you two! Such lovely words! The pastas in Palermo were so unique- we loved them! And that meal was neat- a really lively, fun place to film! Thanks for watching guys! Cheers, Sheena
Omg, there's so much street food here in Sicily that you must try it for sure. My favorite Italian dishes is pasta, pizza and desserts! This is amazing, love it so much.....so inspiring! You're guys deserve this again: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Nice video! 😊
😄😄😄😄 thanks for the kind words Jade! We’re totally into all of those foods too 😝 Sicily has such an awesome food culture. Thanks for watching and commenting mate- so happy you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
I am so glad your back. Hope she feels better. 💙
😘😘😘😘 thanks so much candiballard72! I’m well on the up! Thanks for watching and commenting on this video, hope you enjoyed it! Cheers, Sheena
Welcome back my favs foodie King & Queen, Thomas & Sheena! Really hope you guys are doing great right now & tq for uploading, Ive been waiting.. 🤣🤣. I always appreciate your research to introduce us the best local foods a bit different from the touristy areas. Everything looks so droolilicious as usual in this vid, but the granitas on a hot day are da bomb!! I'd order both if & when I get the chance to visit there next time. Take care & cheers Sheena & Thomas 💙💜
What a welcome back! Thanks Ar Em 😍😍😍😍 we’re happy to be posting again and I’m on the up yay! So glad you enjoyed this one- omg we were addicted to those granitas- we had one most days 🤤 hope you get to experience them one day too! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
👍👍👍👍👍👍
So happy you guys enjoyed this one SS! Thanks for watching 😘 Cheers, Sheena
GOD BLESS YOU LOVE & KISSES
😘😘😘😘 thanks mate and thank you for watching this one! Hope you are well! Big love! Cheers, Sheena
✌Finally you folks are bk!
💃🕺🏼💃🕺🏼 just call us the comeback kids! 😆😂😝 thanks for watching this one Yen Lee! Hope you enjoyed it. I would love a granita right now! Cheers, Sheena
So glad that you are back in business 😊👍
😍😍😍😍 us too Lou K!
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena so glad that you are in great shape 😊😊👍👍
*_caponata_* - Completely forgot that caponata is Sicilian. I am very fond of eggplant and eat caponata often...warm on pasta or rice; room temp on bread; as a spread in a sandwich; or just straight from the bowl. 😀
*_potato and pasta_* - Haha. Did this just last week. Carbs! I know you two have been to the UK. Ever have a *_chip butty?_* mmm, mmm.
*_granita_* - Those were quite luxurious indeed. If people have never seen it before and decide to order it at their local restaurant, they may be royally disappointed. 😂
Fantastic food day. Every stop a winner!
Mmmmm caponata on rice! Epic combo Tosh- definitely going to have to try that one day. We later found out that the potato pasta translates to fatty pasta and is an ancient Palermo dish. It was so delicious. Thanks for watching and commenting Tosh- hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
👍 Yes. Enjoyed the entire series very much. Quite educational. I know so much about Italian cuisine but as I mentioned about caponata, I've forgotten many details it seems. Arancini vs suppli is another. I never remember which is from where. And you opened my eyes to gourmet sfincione. I still can't get over how plain mine was. 😂
😆😂😆 I reckon that sfincione is reason enough to return to Palermo!!
Heading out to Palermo next May, which area would you recommend to stay so we can taste the street food? Hope Sheena is well. Thanks.
Exciting! It’s pretty small so staying central means you can easily get around on foot. Pretty much everything in our videos we got to via foot no problem. I think just once we had to catch a bus for about 10 minutes. Let us know if you need more info. Cheers, Thomas 😀
Pasta and Potato does seem an interesting dish. Glad you enjoyed it.
The name of the pasta translates to “fatty pasta”- I love it 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting G! Hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers, Sheena
Heat wave in California, sure would love some of that fruit granita! Glad you guys are back!
Keep cool SuzyGrowsMyBiz! Especially if you still have your cast on! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one 😘 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate yep, the plaster cast is off but I am on to this black boot thing, only 3 weeks left! Yippee!
Woo hooo!! Back to normal very soon! 🙌
Loved this video. I can't wait to return to Sicily. It would be helpful if you wrote the names of the restaurants and names of the dishes on the screen. I don't see how I could possibly find these locations, which I would love to do. Thanks again.
Hi Joe Di, thanks for watching and we’re glad you enjoyed the video. We always put restaurant details in the RUclips description so that people don’t have to keep stopping and starting the video to take notes! Sicily is a brilliant place in which to travel- we ate so well there. Hope you make it back soon. Cheers, Sheena
Wow. The information is right there! Thanks so much. Planning a trip to Palermo in the spring. We will definitely try your suggestions.
Brilliant! We have a couple of other Palermo videos so we hope those help with your eating itinerary too 😄 Cheers, Sheena
I swear, if I ever go there.. within a month I'd be dead on the street fat and broke
Haha oh gosh the food is good! Such a neat food destination. We loved our time filming in Sicily. Thanks so much for watching this one and we hope you enjoy the rest of the Sicily videos. Cheers, Thomas 😀
I'm Sicilian. I love your video. God bless you 👍😎
😍 we loved Sicily so much! Hope we can return to see more of it one day soon. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, hope you like the rest of our Palermo videos 🤗 God bless! Cheers, Sheena
We need some granita over here in Houston it’s hot 🥵 great video! Thanks guys
We need technology to catch up so that you can just reach in and grab the food out of the screen 😆 stay cool Abel Campos! Thanks for watching and commenting mate! Cheers, Sheena
Good to see sheena well again 😃 nice video and food 🙂
Thanks so much Pheng Ov 😄 so happy you enjoyed this one mate- such a great day of eating 🤤 thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
I like spaghetti or of course Italian food.
😀😀😀😀 us too Sopheap Chea! We had such a blast filming in Italy- the food was insanely good. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate, thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
Hungry again👍
We had to pop out and get some food after we posted this video 😝😆 hope you enjoyed this one Michael! Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
The crumbed mackerel looks like a winner, and the carb on carb madness of potato pasta could be great too. I've always been a fan of the chip sandwich.
Us too Stephen White! One of my first ever food memories was eating a chip sandwich after kindergarten 😆 carb and carb is always a winner! Thanks for watching and commenting- hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Yay Sheena!!! 😊
😍😍😍😍 thanks Sarah J! So happy to be on the up! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one mate- hope you enjoyed it 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Nice video
Thanks so much Ivy Chee 😍 so happy you enjoyed this one! It was a great day of eating 😋 thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
I think that in Italy there use most of the time olive oil. Nice to see you eating again. Very nice video 😊👍👍
The frozen ice cream looks amazing
Thanks so much Lou K! Omg it was such a great day of eating. And yes the granita was next level- we ate it most days and the owner of the cafe was so charming. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Cheers, Sheena
Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Great the owner look very friendly
It English common in Sicily? I’m going over there to study abroad. I’m going to try to learn as much Italian as I can, but I know I won’t be fluent by then
How exciting! We don’t speak a word of Italian and we were able to get by okay so I’m sure you’ll be fine 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena
wow these dishes are so unique ....looks fantastic ...i have been to Italy so many times but never Sicily .....BUCKET LIST
Hi tsocanuck, thanks so much for watching and commenting! Hope you get there one day soon- we loved it! It was so different to other parts of Italy that we’ve visited 😍 Cheers, Sheena
Do you have the best place to have Canoli in Palermo?
Hi Morris Lightman, thanks for watching and commenting! We didn't eat cannoli on this visit as we learnt that it's a seasonal dessert (eaten between autumn and spring) and locals don't eat them in the summer as ricotta isn't produced then- although most pastry shops will still sell them year round. We did have Pasticceria Costa marked as a good spot for them even though we didn't partake. Hope you enjoy your time in Palermo! Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of our Palermo videos. Cheers, Sheena
Thank you for writing back with this info! We are heading to Palermo in a few weeks and just curious generally speaking are the cab drivers fair in Italy or will they try to rip you off ?
No problem at all. We didn't take any cabs whilst in Palermo- we actually walked everywhere and took the occasional bus. The central area is very compact and flat and thus very walkable. Sorry we can't help on this front Morris! Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate Hi there! We just came back from Palermo and i went to I Cuochini for Arancini because of your video and we have to admit it was the best ones we tastes and we tasted a few and also a few in Capri. We actually brought some back for our plane ride and they were fantastic and the staff were amazing too! So keep up the good work on your videos!!!
Morris Lightman it makes us so happy to hear this! Thank you for taking the time to write 😍 good work on getting a few to take on the plane! Hope your Italian adventure was memorable and that you had a fantastic time! 😄 Cheers, Sheena
The first food you tried looks more like suppli rather than arancini
Thanks for watching Perky Pat! They did a little! Hope you enjoyed this one! Cheers, Sheena
Hi there, beautifull people on the 28th of march my friend and I will go to Palermo. So can I have the adresses from all the restaurants you have visit? Thanks
Awesome. It’s a neat place to explore and eat. All details are in the description. Enjoy! Thomas 😀
What is the hidden arrancini place called?
All details in the video description mate including addresses. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
Ok, I understand if you don't want to share, like many cooks like me lol, but what's your secret to finding all these great local spots when you're not a local?...
😂😂😂😂 more than happy to share and more than happy to do the legwork for you all 😂 Just a combination of things SuzyGrowsMyBiz- just lots of reading before we arrive, talking to locals once we arrive and just eating non stop once we're in a place to find delicious spots to include in our videos. Hope you enjoyed this one! Thanks for watching and commenting 😘 Cheers, Sheena
Ah ! And the saffron is native of Greece.
Thanks for watching. Cheers, Thomas
them arabs did.nt leave much halal grub in godfather country BUT u 2 is still the best !!!!!!
😍 awww thanks mate! Sicily has such a fascinating history- the Arabs left a damn delicious legacy- they were the ones who introduced mulberries to Sicily too 🤤 soooo tasty! Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Hope you’re having a great weekend! Cheers, Sheena
Would u have the names and address of were u went in this video
Thanks for watching. All details are in the RUclips description. Enjoy!
You must go again to Greece
Totally Msgamer tv! There's still so much of the country for us to explore! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one- hope you enjoy our Sicily series mate. Cheers, Sheena
Love how you guys don’t say the name of the restaurants. 🤣
The RUclips description has all details. Much easier that way as people can copy and paste etc. cheers. Thomas
Hi No point doing food vlog, if you don't show us the name of the places you eat at
We do- in the most obvious place to look… all details in the description. Cheers, Sheena
Please I hate to sound condescending but don't slurp up your spaghetti. It is considered uncouth. Twirl a few strands on your fork using your spoon as a base until the spaghetti wraps into a tiny ball and then insert the entire portion into your mouth.
Hi Bruno Pupo, you are never, ever provided with a spoon to eat your pasta in Italy! It is not something locals do ever. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
you can't beat 20 euros for that meal ....NOWHERE .did that include the wine?
I know right?! It was such great value! And YES it included the wine 😍😍😍 Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate what a deal
"It's much bitter than I thought it would be". New Zealanders pronouncing their i as an e, but e as an i. Weird
Hi! Thanks for watching this one and we hope you enjoyed it. Not sure what you're referring to sorry? We didn't say that in this video (and never would , we never expect anything to not be good and wouldn't judge something on our opinion before eating it). I do mention that the pasta was much wetter than I expected. Maybe that is what you heard? Us Kiwis do have some different ways of saying things though! 😀😂 Thanks again for watching. Cheers, Thomas
That's not real granita. The authentic one is from Messina and Catania
How is it not authentic? Thanks for watching. Cheers, Sheena
@@ChasingaPlate That is much more similar to "Grattachecca" from Rome.
The real granita is not made up of pieces of icy ingredients. It's cold and creamy. Not icy.
It wasn’t icy at all and exactly like what you described- cold, smooth and creamy 😍
