• Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata - The first stop offers a delightful treat called Iris: a sweet fried leavened dough, similar to a doughnut, filled with a traditional sweet ricotta cream and chocolate pieces. In the Catania region, variations include pistachio, chocolate, and white cream, along with the classic ricotta. Despite its sweetness, it is a staple of Sicilian street food, enjoyed hot by both locals and tourists at any time.
• Piazza Universita - Here, the Cassatina Siciliana awaits: a small, vibrant cake filled with sweet ricotta and adorned with candied fruit. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of creamy filling and soft sponge, embodying the essence of Sicilian pastry tradition.
• Piazza Stesicoro - Experience the refreshing Sicilian granita, perfect for unwinding and cooling off on warm summer days. Served in a glass, it is an ideal way to conclude a hearty meal. Made with fresh fruit, sugar, and ice, it is simple yet incredibly delicious!
• Villa Bellini - Indulge in the iconic Sicilian Cannoli - a wafer traditionally shaped around a hot metal rod, filled with a sweet, creamy mixture of ricotta cheese, candied fruit, crunchy pistachios, or dark chocolate chips. A burst of flavor and color! The recipe can be found here.
