Spartini Dolci Pasticci In Giarre

What to say? One of my fondest memories was my friendship with Saro Spartini. In addition to being a very good pastry chef (exceptional white nougat), he was also an exceptional photographer. He complimented me on the prints I made for him, I reciprocated the compliments on the desserts. I worked in Giarre, but living in Catania, in case of events (birthdays, baptisms, etc. on holidays) if necessary I would go Catania-Macchia in order to have his products. Pure goodness!

Both the desserts and the ice creams are well made and prepared with care. The granitas and brioches are excellent. A special mention for the Sicilian cannoli made following Mr.'s original recipe. Spartini. The cakes and rice dumplings are excellent.

Tasting a ricotta cannoli, simply amazing! Super crunchy, artisanal wafer delicately scented with cinnamon, a truly exquisite ricotta filling. The wafer reminded me of the taste and dough of carnival chiacchiere. A traditional pastry shop craftsmanship with a capital P.

Historic place in Macchia di Giarre where you can find good classic pastry products, excellent granitas etc...
