The 16 Best Restaurants In Palermo - Palermo - The Infatuation

"This confectionery shop, located inside the Chiesa di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria, is an homage to the ancient tradition of making pastries inside convents. Cassata and other traditional cakes are sold by the slice, cannoli are filled with sweet ricotta cream à la minute to ensure prime crispiness, and there are almond and pistachio cookies, plus hand-painted marzipan fruits, displayed at various stations. Enjoy your sweets in the lush, fruit tree-lined, open-air courtyard paved with multicolored traditional maioliche tiles, and save time to visit the ornate Baroque church before making your way up to the rooftop for one of the best views in town." - linda sarris
