Pasticceria Castorina

Acireale's beloved sweet boutique has been serving treats since 1952. Just a few blocks from the Piazza del Duomo, this local favorite specializes in almond cookies, crostatas, granita and their signature Savoia Cake, a chocolate layer cake filled with hazelnut cream. They also make Sicilian favorites like the cassata cake, cannoli, and torrone, a type of soft nougat.

In the evening people gather for their aperitivi and snacks, to enjoy a drink and a chat at the outdoor tables while watching the people parade pass by.
