When in Taormina, this is a must-go place for some Sicilian desserts. Their stores are exploding with charm and you can't leave without getting something yummy. Ensure you get a Sicilian Cannolo and have a great time. This is a gem in Sicily you should not pass up!

Freshly-made cannoli. Delizioso!
Jeff B.

We two stopped in for the fresh cannoli. CANNOLI: 4.5. Freshly-made as you wait. Excellent. SERVICE: 4.0. Fast and accurate. AMBIANCE: 3.5. There are a few chairs along the outside wall facing the (mostly) pedestrian street.

Cannoli

The best cannoli we've ever had. Must try! This was excellent. Nothing compared to this.

nice selection

We were walking around very pretty (but also very busy) Taormina. We just came from Calabria, where we had some of the best pastries and cookies we've ever tasted. The products here looked good as well. So we bought some cookies and sweets (tried some of the sweets before buying). The cookies (pistachio, amaretti and others) were just ok. Nothing close to the ones from Nicotera in Calabria. And the sweets (chocolate covered almonds etc.) were nothing like the ones we got for a free sample beforehand. Not sure they weren't as fresh or just not the same at all. It's nothing really bad. Stuff really looks good and tasty. But in the end the taste doesn't live up to the look. Should've gone for Cannoli I guess.

Mafiosi al Pistacchio!
Christine N.

They have these little pastry balls of pistachios called Mafiosi al Pistacchio that are heavenly. Not too sweet with just a light dusting of powdered sugar over it. It's perfect if you want a little treat on the go... I definitely recommend a small handful as you're exploring via Roma. They also have sugary/fruity filled pastries called pastis (limon, madarin, peach, etc) but those are waaaaaayyy too sweet; It gave me a toothache lol.

Best cannoli ever! How will I ever enjoy a cannoli after this one. He fills them with fresh cannoli cream in front of you. Not to be missed!

Closed- no longer in business restrictions in place we walked off the beaten path to find this…read moreplace, but then it was closed

If you are looking for "Saint Agatha's tits" (sorry, I am not making this up, I am quoting directly…read moreas they are called "minnuzzi ri Sant'Àjita" in Sicilian dialect), you must visit the "best pasticceria" (pastry shop) in Catania, I Dolci di Nonna Vincenza. In a nondescript building in a piazza just off of Via Vittorio Emanuele (they actually have four locations in Catania), my Sicilian wife was looking for Minnuzzi di Sant'Agata (aka St. Agatha's tits - it's a long story), a Catanese specialty, to take to her relatives in Erice (near Trapani). I mean no disrespect as I am only telling you the story of Saint Agatha's breasts as told by Sicilians. The short version being that Saint Agatha's breasts were torn from her body during her martyrdom and she is now the patron saint of breast cancer patients as well as Mount Etna. The Catania Duomo (cathedral) is also named after this venerated 3rd Century saint. How the tradition of cakes in the shape of breasts and fondly called "St Agatha's Tits" (translated from Sicilian dialect) came to be is unknown to me or any of the locals I talked to. The ricotta filled pastries bearing her name actually look like a lovely white breast, red nipple and all. You can apparently only get these extremely sweet pasties, I mean pastries, during the Christmas season and around her name day (February 5th). The filling is sweet ricotta and covered by an extremely sweet sugar-based shell, topped with a red confection in the shape of a nipple. If you eat them the right way, like a pizza, with more filling than sugary shell, they are actually quite tasty. After all, I never tasted a tit I did not like (sorry Saint Agatha, I could not help myself). Anyway, back to I Dolci di Nonna Vincenza ... The shop, which was recommended and known by every local we talked to, sits on the side of a piazza and looks quite small, even smaller as you first walk in. But if you walk up the stairs to your left, you enter the first large room filled with cookies and candies. Go around the corner to the next big room filled with cakes and St. Agatha's breasts, both large and small. At €2.50 ($3) a pop, St. Agatha's breasts are not a cheap treat. It is, reportedly, the "best" pasticceria in Catania, but the prices I saw were rather high and not a "great value" in my eyes. CombatCritic Gives I Dolco Di Nonna Vincenza 7 Bombs Out Of 10 ... More Breasts, I Mean Bombs, Are Better!
