About Messina
Messina rewards first-time visitors who eat their way through it: the city's food culture runs from bustling street stalls to home kitchens where Sicilian classics are still made by hand. For an easy introduction, the Messina Street Food Tour in a Small Group with a Local Guide pairs a small group with a local who knows exactly where to stop, while the Messina Pasta & Tiramisu Cooking Class: Learn Italian Classics with Cesarine lets you roll, cook and eat your own lunch. Both are relaxed, hands-on ways to get your bearings in the city before you branch out further.

Frequently asked questions
First-timers benefit most from tours led by locals who explain what you are eating and why it matters here. Small-group street food walks and hands-on cooking classes are especially easy introductions, since they combine tasting with context and need no prior knowledge of Sicilian cuisine.
