Absolutely best cafe on Catania! Service is amazing, very nice people. Food is great, we ate there everyday of our 3-day trip - our favorites were cornettos and pizzas. If I'm ever back to Catania, I will come back for sure. I recommend this place strongly!

Best cappuccino I have had in Sicily, sprinkled with chocolate and cinnamon. The pistachio croissant was amazing. Little “hole in the wall” Café with beautiful trees outside to sit in the shade. But the best part was the customer service. The owner was super nice, and he even provided a free sample of the ice cream after I paid. I will be coming back here every morning for the remainder of my trip.!
