Evan Funke Explores Sicily's Foodways

"There’s more granita the next day in the ancient and beautiful town of Noto. We hit the 131-year-old Caffè Sicilia for its incredibly fresh, fruit-forward granitas (though we all agreed the brioche was not as memorable as Caffè Europa’s) and a panna cotta with the perfect amount of jiggle and pure dairy flavor to stop Funke in his tracks." - Khushbu Shah

This cafe is a true gem that captures the essence of Sicilian flavor and charm. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by an inviting atmosphere that radiates warmth and authenticity. We indulged in their espresso, which was the perfect balance of rich, smooth, and bold—truly a standout in the world of Italian coffee. The highlight, however, was the classic cannoli. It was nothing short of perfection—the crispy shell was delicately crunchy, while the ricotta filling was rich, creamy, and subtly sweet, striking the perfect balance. It's clear why this cannoli is renowned, as it feels like a taste of Sicilian tradition in every bite. If you're in Noto, Cafe Sicilia is an absolute must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic local flavors in a delightful setting.

Nice place with seating inside and outside. The decoration is refined and original decoration. The inside seating in an air-conditioned room is convenient, especially in a very hot day. We got granita tasting trio and ricotta pistachio gelato. They were tasty. You can taste the authentic products. We also got for takeaway Cassatina and Pistaccio e arancia. They were not good ! The Cassatina was extremely sweet and Pistaccio e arancia was ??? The service is very average… however the lady in charge of pastries and sweet is very nice and professional.

Classic Sicilian caffè that nobody seems to miss in Noto. It has a very classic and vintage air and runs from early morning to late night. Our default breakfast place while we were in Noto. Getting espresso granita easily became my morning routine here. And you can find all kinds of classic Sicilian cakes too. Staff are true professionals.

It is a very simple place. After netflix series we expected something over the top but was pleasantly surprised. We tried two different flavours of granita and cannelloni. All were perfect, not too sweet which I really appreciate. One could feel the quality of ingredients not overwhelmed by tons of sugar.

Tourist trap - poor coffee, cannoli chocolate poor but with cream average. Brioche plain old bread. Ice cream (vanilla w pistachio and lemon sorbet ok)

We found out about Caffè Sicilia on Netflix and had to visit. Everything we tried there tasted great, you can feel the taste of all the fresh ingredients they use.

This is a great place to have caffè, granita, pastry, Spritz and so many other things. We enjoyed talking to the waiter, who spoke English. The granita apricot was delicious. The espresso was 😍 and the place itself very typical Italian with a modern stylish touch.

Must visit while in Noto. Must order: - Almond Granita: perfection. so light and refreshing, not sweet at all and you can taste the real almond. - Cannoli with Ricotta: out of all the ricotta cannolis I have tried, this place offers the best. - Espresso con Almond Cream on top: don't know the actual name of this drink but it was recommended by our server. We started with one and eventually, we all ended up ordering one. They have indoor and outdoor seating and the service was excellent.

This awesome pastry shop is located in the very center of Noto. They have a lot of different pastries and brew an outstanding coffee. This place is heavy on calories, so use it for lunch or something similar. Outside sitting is highly recommended (view is gorgeous). Service is fast, so you won't wait for too long.

100%. You must absolutely make your way here if you know what's good for you. Come early. Come hungry and thirsty. You will want to order everything on the big menu. Almond-anything here will blow your mind. If there's one item you need to order here, if not already apparent by the hype, it's the Almond Granita (with brioche on the side). It's Sicilian perfection and will put you in a good mood for the rest of the day. Of course, you're not only going to get that. Get that Cannolo, a Cappuccino with Almond Milk, and a slice of scrumptious cake. I was lucky to meet the seasoned pastry chef Corrado Assenza and snap a pic. I have to admit that meeting the artist was the cherry on top of this amazing breakfast experience. If you don't know, watch the Chef's Table, Season 4, Episode 2. Go to No-To!

Bustling cafe on the main drag in Noto. It's a Rick Steves recommendation. We were lucky enough to snag an outdoor table and take in the scene. The gelato, cappuccino and espresso were all very good. Not sure if it's the best gelato that I have ever eaten, but I was happy.

Granite was one of my favorites on the trip. A bit crowded though so we had to be extra vigilant in order to get a seat when someone else got up. Other than that, it was great!

Smiling staff waiting for customers to walk in. Had to opt for the inside because just half an hour past their opening time, they were at full capacity outside. Ordered the pistacchio e arancia cake, cassatina, cannoli, gelso granita, and apricot granita. Each of them perfectly expressed every single fresh ingredients used, especially the cannoli and the cassatina. One better than the other. Spent about $20 which when you think about it, we ate for 4 people is pretty amazing as well. It is an unbelievable experience that anyone that can should try at least once. We saw the night before our visit Corrado, the owner, still in the laboratory at 10pm. A man that truly reflect hard work and tru passion. Thank you!

I chose to stay in Noto just because of this cafe. It did not disappoint. I probably went there ten times in the six days we were there, including one day when it was closed. I tried gelato, granita, cakes, cookies, chocolates, and got some biscotti and marzipan fruit when leaving to take home. I can't recommend this place enough. The staff were nice and said it was my home after they got to know me.. and recognized I was a regular... even just for a week. My favorites were the Cassatina, almond granita, cestina di frutta, and the chocolates & orange gelato (I forget the exact name). The ricotta (with pistachio) gelato was amazing too. Currado clearly is a little overwhelmed by the tourists, but frankly, if you create a Michelin level cafe with prices that everyone can afford... this is what happens. He was nice, and agreed to take a photo with me. I will treasure my time here.. forever.

Have a coffee, tea, biscotti, cookie, cake, gelato, granita or choose from their broad menu. Enjoy inside or outside - near piazza municipio. Recommended!

I love gelato so you can only imagine how excited I was to try some in Sicily! I had gelato in Catania and Taormina BUT this place in Noto was THE BEST!! I was visiting Noto on a day tour with a group so we only had a limited amount of time to spend there. The one thing I remember the driver telling me as I walked off the bus was "you need to have the gelato here!!" The tour guide had also mentioned that Noto was known for their almonds. It started pouring while were there so initially a lot of us went into this restaurant to get out of the rain...and I am happy that I did! I wanted to try something new and different...something other than the my usual chocolate, mint, and pistacchio...so I asked them to explain the different flavors. I ended up getting a scoop of Torrone (nougat) and chocolate. The Torrone was a nougat gelato with almonds and candied orange in it and it was SOOOOO GOOD!!! I highly recommend the gelato here!

Good product expensive compared to other places. Once you have been featured on TV it's hard to stay small and local, I think it shows. The product is good. I'd pass unless its convenient or like me you just want to eat here, due to seeing it on TV.

Loved this beautiful cafe in Noto. You walk in and feel as if you are in a movie from the start - lovely bar to the left, beautiful array of pastries to the right. Very good coffee, excellent granitas and pastries, exceptional looking cakes for fancier events, and even some lovely jars of pistachio creme, pistachio and almond brittle and the like for gifts to take home. The jars are on the pricey side so keep that in mind before taking the plunge on those but overall, we really enjoyed our visit here.

Granita di mandorla with a dollop of granita di caffé is divine on a hot day. Best granitas I had in Sicily.
