Il Panino Di Notte: After Dinner Walk and Midnight Snack

    Midnight Snack at Il Panno Di
    Notte
    by deecat
    The night we stayed in Siracusa, we walked to a seafood restaurant that we had been told was the best in the city. Siracusa has a strange numbering system, and we had a difficult time finding the restaurant. The walk ended up being about three miles from our hotel! The walk was worth it.

    After the delicious meal, we decided to walk back to the hotel because we needed to "walk off the meal".
    This time, it was a leisurely walk without frantically looking at numbers on the buildings.

    Once we arrived back to the area close to our hotel, we saw this late-night stand called Il Panino Di Notte, which was really a sandwich place, but they offered way more. Thus, we stopped to see if they had gelato

    They did offer gelato so Allan and I each had a single dip. We did not think that it would be good because they offered so much here. We were wrong. The gelato was, indeed, delicious.

    It was fun bantering with the guys behind the counter. If you look closely at the photograph, you'll see that the guys are smiling and one is waving toward Allan's camera.

    There really is no dress code because it is an outdoor "fast food" kind of place.

    The best places are outside of Catania and Syracuse. Try out `Banacher,` 20 minutes up the coast from Catania. It´s an outdoor club with palm trees and all. It fills to about 2,000 people! The drinks are exremely expensive, just like in New York, but it´s worth it. There is always a pretty long line, but like usual, American girls don´t have to wait in line, so if you´re a lady, just walk up to the front, and if you´re not a female, find some (non-locals)before you go out, or plan on waiting, trust me it matters. Plan on a 10 Euro cover. Also, try out Strike Bar, across from Sigonella naval/air base. It´s a hot spot if you can find it. I´m not in the military, and I myself was amazed how great the bars were around the base, but the way Americans party (I´m guilty) I shouldn´t be suprised.
    Also go to Waxy O'connor's Pub, dowtown Catania. (P.zza Spirito Santo, 1)

    At all clubs: dress pants and shoes for men, nice skirt/dress/whatever for the ladies.

    Good night life if your going to be staying in the Taormina or Naxos areas. Along the coastal front there's bars and a club that played house music.

    Italians dress GQ, so try to keep up

    MOST NIGHTS WE WENT TO THE LOCAL BARS AROUND SIGONELLA. STRIKES IS A PRETTY GOOD PLACE TO GO ON WEEKEND NIGHTS, THEY HAVE A POOL, GOOD DJ AND OPEN AIR BAR TO ENJOY. GOOD MIX OF AMERICANS AND ITALIANS.

    ANYTHING GOES

    Catania & Palermo: Best Nightlife in Sicily
    Propermark
  • By Propermark on October 20, 2008

  • The best nightlife you can find in Sicily is in Catania and Palermo..

    Catania is well known among Sicilians and maybe Italians. Here you'll find plenty of bars, pubs and discos open everyday of the week. You may find people going out and staying till late every single day. You can also walk in the city centre and distances are not too big.

    Palermo has got a good nightlife as well but there are some main differences to Catania. Palermo is bigger and you need a car when moving from a club/pub to another one. There are also some areas of the city where many pubs, bars and clubs are really gathered one next to the other so you just need to walk. You will find students going out from Tuesday till Thursday and all the others going out mainly on Friday and Saturday. I love Palermo even though living here I don't always appreciate all the positive things we have, and I mainly notice the bad ones.

    You can dress the way you want but it depends on where you're going. If you go to discos wear maybe a shirt or polo and good shoes.
