Navigli Quarter is primarily a street food. There are many bars and small eateries, but the most popular one in Navigli is eating right on the go. Sicilian food, like everything in Sicily, is very traditional and keeps the old family foundations. What you should try is Arancini - “little oranges.” These are fried rice balls, usually stuffed with meat, sometimes with mozzarella, tomato sauce, and green peas. The name of the dish is due to its shape and color, which gives arancini similarity with small oranges. If you want to try something sweet, be sure to try the small casatinas. Sicilian cassata is a round sponge cake dipped in fruit juice or liqueur, as well as layers of ricotta, candied fruits, and chocolate or vanilla filler. A hemisphere-shaped сassatа covered with white glaze with one candied cherry in the center is called Cassata St. Agatha and is produced during the St. Agatha festival.
This piece of Milan is always beautiful. On the last Sunday of each month, the most adorable antique market in Italy (Mercatone dell’Antiquariato) took place along the embankment of the Grand Canal Navigli. The dams around the Navigli canals are the place to look for lively nightlife. Cafes, restaurants, and shops are open until late at night. Let us take a short walk around.
