Bar Nazionale In Motta sant'anastasia

This pastry shop is amazing! Every time I return to San Michele di Ganzaria, a stop here is a must. Their desserts are simply extraordinary, but the real stars are their famous bananas—a true delight that's hard to find anywhere else! These sweets are the perfect combination of deliciousness and artisanal craftsmanship: soft, fragrant, and with that authentic flavor that lets you know they're made with genuine ingredients and a lot of passion. Every bite is an experience that takes me back to the flavors of the most authentic Sicilian tradition. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they put their heart into what they do. The pastry shop is always clean and tidy, and the aroma that greets you as soon as you enter is simply irresistible. If you pass through San Michele di Ganzaria, you absolutely can't miss this pastry shop, and especially their bananas—they're a gastronomic treasure of the town! Excellent quality, fair prices, and a family atmosphere that makes you feel at home. Highly recommended! 🍰👌​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Products are a 10/10! Everything is great and at a very good price.

I have never eaten their bananas, I recommend everyone to try them, they are delicious.

Both the bananas and the bolognese are exceptional (the latter must be ordered in advance!). The staff is extremely courteous and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!

The institution in Sicily for creamed bananas

Pasticceria Gallina Bar Nazionale is a place that combines tradition and flavor. It is highly regarded for its artisanal desserts, especially the famous "Banana di Gallina," the shop's signature dessert. I personally tried a few: the cannoli are beautifully filled with a balanced cream and a pleasant texture, while the cream-filled banana is a delightful balance of sweetness and lightness. The staff is distinguished by their friendliness and helpfulness, making the experience even more enjoyable. The place exudes an authentic and well-curated atmosphere. Recommended for those who want to savor typical Sicilian sweet specialties in a warm and welcoming environment.

Banana is probably one of the best desserts I've ever eaten! Soft and crumbly dough, delicate white cream, just like grandma's! Wonderful!

As pastry chefs, the Gelsomino family would like to thank the Gallina family for the excellence and passion that distinguishes each of their creations. Cakes and desserts of extraordinary deliciousness, crafted with care and artisanal mastery, are a testament to a genuine love for the art of pastry making.
