Pagano's In Catania

02/01/2026: A truly wonderful memory of Palermo is tied to Pasticceria Salvo Albicocco, a true treasure discovered thanks to a dear friend. It was impossible not to start with the arancina: a perfect sphere of saffron rice and provola, perfectly golden, fragrant, and generous, perfect for sharing. A true delight. Next came the obligatory fried irises, then a tartlet and a selection of pastries that betrayed the craftsmanship of true professionals. To finish, a melon jelly, particularly raved about by my companion, made the finale simply spectacular.

29/12/2025: A highly renowned pastry shop in Palermo, they've also done a great job creating an entire pastry shop dedicated to celiac disease. We were able to purchase some nice-looking and delicious single-serving treats. It was a pleasant surprise. The staff was friendly and very quick to explain the products. They also have gluten-free and lactose-free options. Highly recommended.
