Maverick In Torbole casaglia

21/04/2025: Before leaving, we tasted a granita at the Etna ice cream parlor in Brescia… and what a surprise! This is quite simply the best granita I have ever eaten. I have tasted several in my life, but this one surpasses them all. A real explosion of freshness and flavors. I highly recommend!

21/04/2025: As a Catanian who has seen many pastry shops, I give the cannoli a full 8. As an adoptive native of Brescia I give it a 10. The ricotta is good and seems to have been sifted well. I will try the rest because I will definitely be back! It's a way to reconcile myself with the flavors of my land and also to keep my son from losing the habit of these flavors. The brioche for the granita (the one we Catanese call "tuppo") seemed a little pale to me. In Sicily, in addition to using egg in the dough, egg yolk is spread on the external surface to give it color and shine. The staff is very friendly and kind, but on busy days and/or times you have to be patient a little... the coffee is delicious!
