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.

Service was great, the espresso was a fabulous way to wrap up the day and I had a little nibble of the nutella pancake to go with it. YELP! Please don't merge this with Le Delizie di Cagliostro. They are COMPLETELY SEPARATE businesses! [Review 12799 overall, 113 of 2020.]

The guy in charge of the reservations (maybe he was the owner) remembered us even though they had a whopping 700 guests the previous night! If you have a hard time believing that, just look at the amount of tables available, then imagine a huge line out front. The pizza was great and had a wonderful taste. The service was awesome with the waiter making pleasant small talk as well. We got Limoncello in the end which is an Italian specialty. It's a lemon flavored liquor. Don't try it if sour isn't your thing.
