Minotauro Pastry Shop

Charming little cookie shop with a warm welcome This is a lovely small shop that welcomes you with the wonderful smell of freshly baked cookies. The girl recommended us the cookies that are just baked and out from the oven. We tried the orange-almond, cherry-almond, and hazelnut cookies. I loved the texture, though they were a bit too sweet for my taste. The girl working there was incredibly kind and wrapped everything beautifully — such a nice touch! We really liked the shop overall.

What a wonderful patisserie, we had a selection of cannoli on this occasion, we highly recommend it 😋 Also the almond cakes are absolutely delicious. Thanks to the lovely service and beautiful smile from the staff

Awesome fruit cannoli - just look at their faces! We also tried the cassata. This local Sicilian speciality is definitely something you should taste whilst on the island. We were unsure at first, due to it containing marzipan. However, once we learned of this cute little sweet, we’re glad to have relented as it was delicious. The pralines were far too sweet for me though.

We tried numerous cannoli in Sicily and this bakery makes THE BEST! It is family run for generations as the kind owner explained to us. I have never truly enjoyed a traditional ricotta cannoli before, but we went back to the pastry shop three times because they were delicious perfection. We had the traditional ricotta, the pear (wow!), and chocolate. Very affordable as well! You can’t go wrong with this bakery!

I came here multiple times while in Taormina and really loved their pastries, especially the pasticcini di mandorle. I kept coming back to try all the flavors, which tasted natural and without anything artificial - some of the best we had during our trip. The marzipan is also beautiful, and the pistachio cannoli was especially delicious. I highly recommend stocking up when you visit. I made the mistake of only buying a few things on the first day and had to come back for more because everything was so good!

A must try when in Taormina! The best cassata and there are so many choices for marzipan fruits. Totally recommend it!

Delicious and beautiful sweets. Two ladies behind the counter were very nice. They have plenty of gluten free sweets

The best cannolo in town! I am very satisfied. It is very fresh, not too sweet everything was perfect. I tried the one with dry orange piece.

Stopped into Pasticceria Minotauro to check out their pastries. They have a few gluten free options (almond biscuits and cannoli). The GF cannolis (made to order) are 5,00€. - Paste di mandorle con limone (3,00€) - nice texture, similar to a macaron - Paste di mandorle con pistacchio (3,00€) - Paste di mandorle con purea arancia (3,00€) - filling similar to marmalade - Cannolo pistacchio (1,50€ piccolo) - good pistachio flavour. Perfect size to sample - Meringue (0,50€) - Sesame (1,00€)

AMAZING gluten free cannoli. They have multiple flavors (ricotta, pistachio, vanilla & I think orange / arancia) I got the ricotta & pistachio. They have many other gluten free almond based pastries as well. I'm so happy there was an option for me & honestly it tasted soooo good. Ambiance was so cute, beautiful decorated marzipan, amazing smell of baked goods that you can smell from the street. Service was nothing exceptional, but the pastries make up for it.

They have lots of gluten free options, and some gluten and dairy free options! I had torrone from here they was like heaven. I could eat this all day. My husband tried a chocolate filled cannoli (he's not gf) and really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and kind and go through the trouble of telling you all about their products. Real customer service! Highly recommend stopping in for a treat or two!

Chalk up another vote for cannoli...but this one is for the ricotta GLUTEN-FREE cannolo. Easily the best on the island. That's according to my celiac gf. I had the fruit tart (with gluten), which was outstanding as well. As they do not have seating, the purchases are wrapped with equal care as went into creating them. VERY impressive.

I only had the cannoli, it was excellent. What drew me into the shop was seeing pastry being rolled out in the kitchen, everything is made on site. They offer many choices of a variety of dolci and it all looked delicious. Charming, friendly service as well.

Best cannoli I've had in all of Italy/Sicily. We got the one with wild strawberries and I will he going back today for more. We tried a few of the cookies as well and they were also amazing
