"When it comes to sweet shops, Cappello is a true Palermitan institution since 1940 and is famous for their setteveli cake with seven layers of chocolate and hazelnut cream. Located just outside the Porta Nuova city gate, between the cathedral and the Capuchin Catacombs, it is worth going a little bit out of your way. The historic shop reopened in early 2023 after renovations with more indoor and outdoor seating, a full display case of ricotta-filled sweets, marzipan fruit, fried sfince puffs, cassata cakes, artisan chocolates, nougat, gelato and granita." - linda sarris
