Overview

Discover Catania through its sweets on our patisserie tour, a journey through the vibrant streets of one of Sicily’s most lively and charming cities. Taste the desserts and pastries locals love, from rich, traditional Sicilian sweets to delicate creations from the finest local bakeries. Every stop is carefully chosen to introduce you to authentic Sicilian pastry traditions, showcase the best local pâtisseries, and create an unforgettable culinary experience.

Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata

At the first stop we'll try the Iris: a preparation made of sweet fried leavened dough (similar to a krapfen or doughnut) that encloses a filling: the traditional one has sweet ricotta cream and chocolate pieces. In the Catania area, there is a variant with pistachio, chocolate and white cream as well as, of course, ricotta. Despite being sweet, it is counted among the classic street foods of Sicilian cuisine, being enjoyed hot and at all hours by locals and tourists alike.

Piazza Universita

We’ll also taste the Cassatina Siciliana: just hearing its name brings to mind a small, colorful cake filled with sweet ricotta and decorated with candied fruit. Each bite reveals a delicate balance of creamy filling and soft sponge, offering a true taste of Sicilian pastry tradition.

Piazza Stesicoro

We'll get the chance to get refreshed thanks to the Sicilian granita - perfect for relaxing and cooling down on hot summer afternoons. It is served in a glass and is ideal to end a rich meal on a high note. Fresh fruit, sugar, and ice are the necessary ingredients - simple, but incredibly tasty!

Villa Bellini

How can we not taste the Sicilian Cannoli - the wafer, traditionally molded around a hot metal bar, is filled with a sweet and creamy preparation made with ricotta cheese, candied fruit, crunchy pistachios, or dark chocolate chips. An explosion of taste and color! You can find the recipe here.
