I’m sicilian, from Messina. Since 5 years I live in Canada. I have been following you since a long time. Always loved your content. This time I became very emotional. Thank you very much for this wonderful video from my beloved homeland. You managed to bring me back. Tears of joy. You two are the best. Keep the amazing quality. Grazie mille ragazzi! Ci avete deliziato con un altro contenuto di qualità (e mi avete fatto un bellissimo regalo). Siete riusciti a farmi commuovere. Grazie di cuore. Siete una splendida coppia. Continuate cosí. Sicilia troppu bedda comu tutta l’Italia ❤

Siamo andati in Sicilia 4 anni fa perché nel mondo e' il posto perfetto per una luna di miele dove puoi avere cultura , favoloso cibo e spiagge mozzafiato ma soprattutto gente stupenda! Siamo noi che ringraziamo te insieme a tutti i siciliani che ci hanno ospitato e fatto assaggiare e vedere questi posti meravigliosi per ripagare cosi tanta generosità il minimo per noi era di mostrare questa meravigliosa esperienza con i nostri followers! quindi grazie di cuore LA SICILIA E' TROPPU BEDDA❤️

Catania is my favorite place in Italy. We were there last year and completely fell in love immediately. The family owned restaurants, the streets, the people, the culture- everything was just perfect. We've also hicked Etna and explored a cave, which was super fun. Definitely wanna visit Catania again!!!

So nice to see you in Sicily enjoying the culture and of course the delicious food. I think the Umbrellas look so pretty.. the colors are beautiful. Is there a certain time of year they display them? We will be in Italy next week, visiting family in Avellino, then Tuscany, and Rome It's our third time there.. it's so hard to stay away from this beautiful country and people. Maybe we'll run into you one of these days!

I did not expect the number of seafood dishes in catania, but I know I should have. I can't remember tasting Granite, so I must have not been introduced to it. We also missed the Olive Leaf liqueur. Instead we got the cactus liqueur called "Fire of Etna" ... it was 70% alcohol ... leathal.

That would be benissimo❤

We were in Catania this past November and stayed a couple of streets over from where you stayed. We only found one restaurant where the food wasn't very good (the pasta was crunchy and not cooked). I didn't choose it but it was also against my rule of "No English Menu". It was on one of those left turn side streets after the fish market but before the Piazza. Otherwise, we loved Catania.

@Sassyglbeauty Месяц назад

Love the seafood market! Are there any restaurants nearby that will cook the seafood?

@Cr4z33_YT 5 месяцев назад

If you foreign people ever get the chance to come to Italy you will be positively surprised about how fish and vegetables taste way better than in many other countries. Basically we treat and cook them so differently, we add spices and herbs so all this gives a better result to the same product you were disappointed about back in the years. 😁

The last time I was in Sicily, I wanted to stay in Catania, BUT Mt. Etna had just erupted and the city was covered in smoke and ash. You could barely see (or breathe). We ended up staying in Messina instead. So I was especially happy to watch this video-thanks!

I visited Catania in 1990 when I was in the Air Force. I was stationed on the island of Crete and travelled there to do some communication work for the Air Force. We were working on the Navy Base there. I loved the market and food was awesome. The day we left the Carabinieri escorted some judges on the plane on our way to Rome. What a trip.

Quando andavo in vacanza in sicilia da piccolo, prendevo sempre la granita al limone con Brioche, buona da impazzire, Anche la focaccia quella con la scarola era eccezionale. Ricordo che a Patti c'era un posto dove facevano la pizza al taglio, la pizza migliore che abbia mai mangiato in vita mia. Uno dei problemi di posti come catania, non so se è ancora così, sono i rifiuti, a suo tempo era una roba imbarazzante, peggio di Roma.

I must've gone in all the wrong directions. I was fairly sketched out in Catania. Several locations where I felt uncomfortable walking at night, and nearly nowhere I'd feel good leaving a car. I was enchanted by the rest of the eastern coast (siracusa, Taormina, messina), but the charm of catania eluded me.

@aris1956 3 дня назад

Everyone in a certain place has different experiences. This is true for all cities in the world! 🤷🏻‍♂️

@MzMedooza Месяц назад

I grew up here and I had no idea it was spelled with a U lolol. Arancino e arancini Is how I always remember. I remember the carnivals in Acireale, the fish markets near the piaza, Taormina roads, the smoke clouds from Etna. I forgot how Alessios accent is so unlike the Sicilian one, I just thought he was becoming Americanized, but I think that's just his northernness maybe? Lol

@aris1956 3 дня назад

Of course he comes from Emilia-Romagna, from northern Italy. With Sicily and the Sicilian accent he has nothing to do. Each of us Italians have an accent according to our area, our region of origin. But this is also the case with people from other countries.

My Father was a Canadian Soldier who was in the Italian Campaign. They landed in Scilly and then fought there way up the boot to Ortona. Ortona was street to street fighting and was considered one of the worst battles of the war, earning the reputation of “Little Stalingrad.” They we’re fighting elite German paratroopers. That’s where my Father was wounded and lost five of his friends. If he were alive today he would be amazed by all the food. Mostly the people were starving and many emigrated to Canada.🇨🇦
