Minotauro Pastry Shop

The best place in Taormina to buy almond cookies, marzipan, and cannoli. Freshly prepared and very good quality. Super delicious and my kids loved it. The staff are very friendly and helpful . This is a must visit place in Taormina.

A lovely pastry shop in Taormima selling traditional Italian delicacies. I bought the strawberry cannoli as I had never seen one like that before. It was delicious but not what I expected. The filling tasted more like a custard than a sweet ricotta and the casing was quite thick but very crisp and crumbly. Great value for money

A great pasticceria to try different Sicilian pastries and sweets with hospitable and friendly staff. The Cannoli and Cassata are highly recommended. The local almond & pistachio cookies and are also worth a try. Baba rum does not disappoint and is tasty. They also have a variety of marzipan sweets but I did not try them. Prices are reasonable for a touristy place like Taormina.

What a positive story. Patricia and I walked through Taormina late at night. We were approached by a woman from her shop. She turned out to be the owner. She was closing and asked if we wanted her last Cannolis. Just like that. very tasty! We started talking and she told me that she gives away the last of her cannolis to passers-by every evening. What a positive story and how tasty they are.

I walked in....and my soul was the happiest it has ever been. My nose was in heaven and I could literally have purchased every single item in the shop. It's some of the greatest things I have ever tasted in my life and I was a chef for a long time. The lightness on some of the biscuits and the filling in the cannoli changed my world. Thank you. I'll be back tonight and for the next ten nights!!!!

Lovely artisan pastry shop, walking in you can smell a delicious aroma of pastries. They have a wide variety of pastries, cookies and sweets. The stand out is their cannoli, they have a wide assortment of flavours from chocolate, riccota and pistachio(Amazing) as well as a typical sweet “cassata” that is delicious with a mix of flavours and texture yet doesn’t overwhelm with sweetness. The staff is very helpful, even provided with some samples to help make a choice. One of the best cannoli I have had, surely If I come back to taormina I would return.

I recommend! This is definitely the best pastry "Cannolo siciliano" in Taormina. Here you will eat goodies and remember it for the rest of your life!

Insanely good gluten free cannoli. Each shell is individually packaged so they pipe it fresh per demand. We had the option of traditional ricotta or pistachio filling. The owner informed us that the ingredients used are gluten free and that they take care so that the chance of cross contamination is very low. There was also a choice of almond cookies and items were marked as gluten free. Would definitely go again!

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
