- 723joys0 contributionsA Highlight of our stay in PalermoThis was a great tour. Alessandro (apologies if. I have misspelt your name) was a really good guide - amusing, fun, full of information and very inclusive. Most of the food was delicious and we ate and drank so much that we barely ate anything more that day!Written 5 October 2024
- 143tyleri0 contributionsA must for international foodies!Marco was a fantastic tour guide who was not only was an expert on palermitan food but also the history and culture. The food speaks for itself. Fantastico! He remembered all of our names and took the time to talk to each of us individually and ask about our personal lives which made the experience that much better.Written 2 October 2024

- SJSquared0 contributionsBrilliant street food tour - deliciously authentic local specialtiesWe loved our street food tour with Roberta - she was a knowledgeable & enthusiastic guide. It was great to learn about Palermo’s history & taste so many delicious local specialties that we wouldn’t have otherwise discovered. We’d highly recommend this tour - you’ll love it!Written 1 October 2024

- Clare I0 contributionsHighly recommendMartina was a superb guide. We were a party of 6 and along with 6 others Martina was very welcoming to us all from the start. She was extremely knowledgeable and great fun. The food stops were all wonderful with the Arincine being most peoples absolute favourite of all the food we tried. Along with some lovely drinks and ending our tour with some fantastic gelato, we all had a great time . We have done many different food tours with Viator and this one was as good if not better.Written 30 September 2024
- Road527849192300 contributionsAmazing street food tour!This street food tour was amazing and delicious! Marco was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour so enjoyable, relaxed and fun! Everything we ate was fresh and true to the Sicilian culture! 5 stars for sure!Written 30 September 2024
- EdiliaE20 contributionsGirls Trip 2024We had a great time. Alessandra was amazing.. she was very friendly, outgoing and energetic. 10/10 for my friends and I. EdiliaWritten 28 September 2024
- 187DavidC0 contributionsSuperb morning street food tourWe enjoyed the morning street food tour lead by the enthusiastic and delightful Alessandra . It is always a bonus when a local shares her favourite eating and drinking spots enhanced by explanations of Sicilian culture and history. She encouraged interaction between the group and we made good use of our mixed nationalities in gaining useful tips for future visits around the world and not just in Italy. The tour was a great mix of food and drink and we all tried dishes from the safe croquettes to the lambs intestines and the spleen panini . My favourite … the brioche ice cream - I have waited 6 days to try this 🤣🤣 Thanks all for your company and especially Alex.Written 27 September 2024
- N S0 contributionsGreat night of eating in PalermoOur night street food tour of Palermo with Simona was such an excellent experience. A bit apprehensive about a night in Palermo, it was great to have a local guide to take us to the best places and little stalls with amazing food. Some of these places you’d never find on your own, let alone you’d know what to order! But Simona was excellent at explaining us the foods, the traditions and the best way to enjoy them. Overall we had a great experience which would have been impossible to do on our own. I highly recommend Streaty as they know the city, the vendors and the best way to give you a good idea of local street food in Palermo!Written 27 September 2024
- Wander066404933630 contributionsGrey food tour!We’ve been on three food tours in Italy; Rome, Florence, and Naples. We enjoyed all of them but, the Palermo Street Food Tour was our favorite. Salvo did an amazing job combining true street foods of Palermo with history and entertaining stories. Definitely recommend!Written 27 September 2024
- angelles20220 contributionsFabulous Fun with FoodWe had a fabulous time with Marco walking the streets of Palermo and eating street food. I would highly recommend him to take you on this fabulous adventure.Written 26 September 2024
- romanyh8380 contributionsThe best way to start your holiday 10/10the most perfect way to start out trip. We booked a priavte tour for 6 of us, and it was everything and more. Our Guide Val was a 10/10, she felt like a friend from the moment we started. She was hilarious and educated us the perfect amount between lots of good food. I am big foodie, and would not have known where to find all the iconic dishes at its PRIME as there are so many choices here. Thank you we had the best time. Private tour was super worth it, such a highlight!!Written 26 September 2024
- ajsteinberg0 contributionsA highlight of our visit to PalermoThe perfect way to get to know Palermo!! Can’t say enough good things about our food tour with Marco. Though it poured rain on us for half the time, we loved every delicious and informative moment of it. From the local eateries to the intimate history of Palermo, this is a highlight for anyone wanting to get an authentic and engaging experience in the capital of Sicily.Written 25 September 2024

This was the fourth Streaty virtual cooking class I’ve taken and, like all the others, it was great fun and the results were a real wow. My husband and I couldn’t believe how well our cannoli turned out. Tasting them, we felt like we were back in Sicily.
Marco and Daniela took us step-by-step through the process, sharing traditional techniques and tips – the kind of insider stuff you can’t get by just reading a recipe. It was very entertaining, too, plus good material is sent ahead of time, and it's easy to ask questions during class. We plan to make all the recipes again, and hope Marco offers more classes in future.

We had so much fun cooking with Marco and Mamma. Marco sent great directions for prepping and the result was delicious! My husband and I had attended the Streaty Palermo tour when we visited there in 2019 - that was a fabulous introduction to Sicily. In this virtual class Mamma & Marco were able to capture that warm Sicilian spirit and that wonderful sense of adventure that we have missed so much during quarantine. For 90 short minutes we felt like we were transported to a lovely Sicilian kitchen to hang out with an international group of food lovers. Highly recommended!

Marco and "Mamma Streaty" are absolutely fantastic. We joined them for a cooking class over the summer, and not only was the class fun, but the food was also delicious (thanks, of course, to Mamma Streaty's expertise). They have done an excellent job adjusting their business to function during COVID. We all felt like we were in the kitchen cooking together. Mamma's instructions were clear, and the quantity of ingredients was exactly right! Marco and Mamma know how to run the show, as they kept us smiling, and we finished the session with full bellies. Thanks to both Marco and Mamma Streaty for an amazing experience! Hopefully next time we will take the class in Palermo, but this is a perfect substitute during these times. Alla prossima!

The Arancini class we took yesterday with Marco and Mama was wonderful. I feel like I am still full from those scrumptious fried balls of rice, meat and vegetables that we created under their expert guidance. I am so glad we took the class and look forward to more of these in the future!
Whatever level of cooking skill, I feel like you would get a lot out of taking a class with them - they are very understanding and there's a work-around for pretty much any mishap. And Marco is full of humor, which also makes the time go smoothly. So much fun!

This was so much fun! We have taken several on-line cooking classes and this was the best. Marco and Mamma have a great set-up, give clear instructions, and make everything fun! The only problem is now my family expect Arancini for Sunday dinner! I am confident we will be able to repeat our success. Thank you Mamma!

We had such a fun time with Marco and Mamma Maria Luisa. The stuffed veal was superb. Since we cannot travel to Palermo, this was the next best thing. Thank you to Marco and Mama Luisa for your time, your humor and friendship. We hope to see you in Palermo soon!!

I had a wonderful and fun experience learning to cook arancini. Marco and his mama were great hosts. The directions were clear and there was room for questions and personal assistance as well. The communication in advance was very good as well.
I am usually not a fan of zoom meetings but this one was easygoing. Also it was a funny experience to take a peek in the kitchens of other participants around the globe, wearing their aprons and making a mess.
I would love to join again!
