I must have started to look like a "regular" as the woman who works here began recognizing me as I would come in and begin to scoop up my gelato. It made me laugh! They have plenty of flavors and also have the brioche rolls if gelato on a bun is your thing. As for me, just a small cup of cool deliciousness is all I need to make me happy!

Palermo is the sweets center of Sicily and at Pasticceria Buscaglione you will discover why…read moreSicilians in their own right can brag about the amazing sweets produced on the island. But they don't. So I will for them. Opened in 1899 (!) dishin' out pastries for over 117 years, Pasticceria Buscaglione gave me and my posse a sampling of excellent Palermitano sweets. It's soo easy to love this sweets shoppe. First, they make a genius cassata and if you've never had this, try it here. A cassata is a dome shaped marzipan cake, ricotta (best in Sicily), enveloped in a marzipan fondant type covering, so delicious and with a coffee will send you to heaven faster than a tiramisu. This version is soo good, my group got them togo. That, in addition to the awesome hand painted marzipan fruit, wrapped nicely for presents to friends, you are treated to a unique experience: you almost don't want to eat them for fear of ruining Art. The mandorle (almond based cookies) were 2die4 as well. Come here for a quick dessert and coffee, after the Teatro Massimo and have an unforgetable espresso-- so good here also. The staff here are friendly and helpful. They speak a little English but the language of food is universal, no need to speak Italian, just point and smile. Hope you enjoy this place, it's a Yelp find. Ciao. Visits: a few Tip: Cassata, mandorle and marzipan fruit are their top buys. But this bakery has been around for centuries, that's how well respected this pasticceria is.

After a walk in the park Villa Trabia a few years ago, center Palermo, I happened to come by Italo…read morecafé. Went in for a coffee and a pizza slice, added with an ice cream, home maid. Since then I have been there many times enjoying the very good quality and the pleasant atmosphere. Italo is situated in quit wealthy surroundings, so the standard follows the demand of being on their toes. This does not make it snobby at all, though. It is also a free room. Not many tourists find their way here. When taking a walk in Villa Trabia and The English Garden also nearby a visit to Italo can be recommended. The ice cream, even with good Italian standard, is superb.
