08/01/2025: I have now been a loyal customer for several years. One of the best pastry shops in the city, especially when it comes to traditional Messina desserts. The place is very nice and clean and the staff are friendly, absolutely recommended
05/01/2025: I have been buying desserts at the De Grazia pastry shop for more than 15 years. Quality, professionalism, cleanliness and courtesy are combined with tradition. On every anniversary of the calendar, the pastry shop offers traditional Messina desserts, a dive into the past that is always a pleasure. I recommend the cannoli with ricotta garnished with frozen almonds, the black and white, the lulù with cream (I don't think there is another place to taste such good and light cream!), the small pastries, the Milanese to be filled at the moment as you like... and then the dry one with almond blossoms (try the ones with rum), lemon verbenas, ladyfingers, tea biscuits, etc. For Christmas and Easter, try the panettone (classic, chocolate and pistachio: all delicious!!!) and the colomba, equally fantastic. They must be booked because they go away as soon as they go on sale. It is my favorite pastry shop whose products I share with the people dear to me who live elsewhere thanks to their shipping service. At the counter you will find one of the owners, Mrs. Caterina together with her collaborator, always ready to advise and satisfy every need. In short, De Grazia pastry shop equals EXCELLENCE!!!
