    Best cannoli ever! Today we had half vanilla/pistachio/Hazelnut Yesterday had the classic (Ricotta). It's Simply delicious, and the owners are super nice. Highly recommend.

    Best cannoli I have ever had🥹🥰 My personal favorite was the classic one with strawberries. The pistachio/coconut cream were good too, but you can’t beat an old classic.. The owners were so kind as well. They brought us some pistachios butter samples, and explained to us about the Guinness record their cannoli beat. Highly recommended, spectacular traditional cannoli!

    I haven't ate cannoli in another place in Taormina, but I can say this one was an amazing one. The biscuit ose fresh, crunchy and perfect. The ricotta was not so sweet so you can eat more than one without feeling full. I tried a few different flavours, but the classic ricotta was my absolute favourite. The staff were very warm and welcoming.

    The absolute BEST canoli in whole Sicily! They have also different flavours apart from the traditional with ricotta cheese, like hazelnut, coconut, vanilla etc. The people here are great hosts. They also serve espresso, cappuccino and americano from sicilian bean. You must go there if you are in Taormina ! Thank you!!

    I was never big fan of cannoli as they were overly sweet, but these are different level. The flavours are spot on, cannolis are fresh. And the staff is helpful and nice. This is a must when visiting Taormina. P.S. The classic ricotta one is a must have…but the chocolate one is just something else!

    This is the best cannoli that my husband and I have eaten in our life. This is definitely a MUST to try! I am not a big fan of cannoli, but this one showed me a different flavor and texture. It's crunchy, fresh and not too sweet. They put on the top a touch of some cream that they make. It's like hazelnut with pistachio. It's something different and delicious, I bought a jar of this. The service is friendly and kind. They love what they do. The tables outside are cozy and confortable. Highly recommended.

    The place was closed few days because of bank holidays and I was patiently waiting. And what can I tell you, it was all worth a wait! I have tried many Canolli in my trip to Sicily, and these are by far the best ones! The shell was crispy even after a night in the frigde, the ricotta filing delicious, the pistachio filling actually tastes of pistachios and not just sugary green mass.. perfect level of sweetness, even the chocolate they dip the ends in is amazing quality 😍😍 could eat it every day if I could!

    Sooo good! We went to try them and had to return the next day for more! The classic ricotta cannolo is spectacular. We also tried the hazelnut and the pistachio, both lovely as well! The owners are very pleasant and the shop is cute and has outdoor seating to enjoy your cannoli in the sun.

    This place offers really the best Cannoli in Sicily! We had the nut, pistachio and traditional flavors. All of them were really good but the traditional is the best!

    Definitely some of the best Cannolos I ever had. Especially the traditional one. The fresh ricotta filling was so good and so much of it. The owner is extremely friendly as well and happily tells you about the world record they still hold. If you visit Taormina, go there!

    Tucked away in the charming streets of Taormina, Sicily, is a small shop that is a true paradise for cannoli lovers . This quaint and unassuming place, often missed by the casual tourist, offers what might just be the best cannoli I've ever tasted. From the moment you step into the shop, you're greeted with the sweet aroma of fresh pastries and the warm, welcoming smile of the owner, who is passionate about their craft. The shop's decor is simple yet inviting, with a display of various traditional Sicilian sweets that instantly catches your eye. But the star of the show is undoubtedly their cannoli. Handcrafted with precision and care, each cannoli is a work of art. The shells, fried to a perfect golden-brown, offer a delightful crunch, contrasting beautifully with the creamy, rich, and not overly sweet ricotta filling. This heavenly combination melts in your mouth, leaving you wanting more. What sets their cannoli apart is the freshness. The shells are filled on the spot, ensuring they maintain their crispness, and the ricotta filling is as fresh as it gets, with a smooth texture and just the right amount of sweetness. They also offer a variety of fillings, from the classic to more adventurous flavors, catering to all tastes. The shop also prides itself on using the finest local ingredients, which is evident in every bite of their cannoli. It's not just about the taste but also about supporting local producers, which adds a layer of authenticity and love to their food. Service-wise, the staff is friendly and eager to share their knowledge about Sicilian sweets, adding to the overall delightful experience. The prices are reasonable, especially given the quality of the offerings. In conclusion, this is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth traveling to Taormina. Their cannoli are not just desserts; they're an experience - one that encapsulates the essence of Sicilian pastry artistry. A hidden gem that truly lives up to its reputation!
