When you are in Italy, you must try Cannoli of course! There is a bunch of sweets there but I only…read moregot Cannoli with 2 flavors: pistachio and almond. It is so good! It is pretty huge, can be shared for 2 people. It is a small cute bakery, no seating. Great service.

The pizza, Messina style, is a welcome break from the dough heavy pizza we've become accustomed to…read more It's airy, very crunchy with abundant toppings that are wonderful albeit very messy. Definitely worth getting dirty! The nice older woman, probably her place, suggested we wait five minutes for the new pizza that would be coming out of the oven. We did and we're so happy! It was fantastic and we're going back tonight at 6pm when they reopen. This a just what we we're looking for. Definitely local, not fancy, absolutely delicious!! !

Mornings suck. However, when Panificio San Pancrazio is my first stop of the day, mornings are…read morepretty darn good. It's a great bread shop, with delicious brioche, chocolate chip loaves, as well as bread and rolls for sandwiches and more. They also have a small selection of meats and cheeses, so you can order a sandwich instead of purchasing tiny amounts of all of the ingredients separately. There's also arancini and pizza during lunch, and the slices are generously sized!

This is where we pretty much had breakfast every day in Catania. Mainly because their cappuccino…read moreand pastries were to die for. We had sweet and savory pastries for breakfast. It was very delicious and cheap to boot. Service was a little spotty. But there wasn't any hurry. It is right in the main square, which I referred to as Elephant Duomo. I'm not sure what the locals call it. But perfect for people watching and enjoying the morning or sometimes afternoon for us.

Oscar's is a small, family-run pasticceria, complete with Mama and children in tow. We were handed a cannoli, made at that moment for us, and the love affair with this bakery started. They have a whole array of marzipan treats, many shaped into other food. We had a good laugh examining what appeared to be a ham and cheese sandwich, but which was actually made entirely of marzipan. This bakery is THE place to try. Small. Cute. And, extremely delicious. The cookies are to die for, and to be washed down with a freshly-pressed Italian espresso.

We first came in looking for a panini and the woman who owns Oscar asked her friend to walk us down the street to her favorite sandwich shop which was also fantastic. We then returned to Oscar for dessert and were amazed by how delicious everything was. Do not miss this wonderful place and definitely get the freshly made pistachio cannoli!

It's filling and, if you're not careful, slightly messy - use your hands, no fork necessary nor suppled. Grab an espresso or americano to go along with it. Or them, but they're filling, remember, and you're going out for dinner later. Take a number and you'll be served soon. The staff spoke good English when we went. The extensive menu is on your phone, though locals just point at the myriad items on display. Tell them you want your receipt before you pay with your credit card if you are expensing. Sit outside in the very small covered piazza or the very small inside eating area. You'll need to bus your tray yourself. Go there.

Visited Da Cristina while in Taormina -- because you can't come to Sicily and not have arancini…read more The setup is very casual with fast ordering, though expect a long wait (worth it). Service was efficient despite the crowds. We tried the prosciutto and cheese arancini, and honestly, it was the first time I truly enjoyed one -- the cheese and prosciutto melted together perfectly, with great texture and flavor. Overall, a classic Taormina stop and definitely worth a visit. Saluti
