Pasticceria Costa

Very nice pasticceria in the center of Palermo. They got all kind of pastries traditional from Sicily. We tried actually their tiramisu and didn’t disappoint, it was perfect. Next time I would love to try their cannoli and other specialties. The street is usually busy and they remain open until quite late.

We came back three times for the granita brioche plus the cannolis, try everything and enjoy! Coffee is not bad either. Might be a line, but it’s worth the wait to sit outside and watch the baroque Quattro canti and the mountains in the far distance.

Based on our tour guide you can get the best traditional water melon gel here. Either in the form of a cake, or in a cup. The taste is not too sweet with a strong water melon flavour. The cup was better than the cake.

A beautiful way to start the day with the best pastries and the best views in Polermo. Very hard to pick our favourite, so why not try them all. Give yourself a break, you're on vacation!

The one thing that I missed in Sicily was a proper bakery and I’m glad I finally got to visit one in Palermo! We had a maritozzo, a corner to with pistachio cream and a sort of bun (tasted like a french chouquette) filled with cream and strawberries. All three pastries were excellent, if you go to Palermo please visit this place you will not regret it.

I love their branch in Via Gabriele D'Annunzio 15 - the decor and atmosphere is amazing, they have really good pastries. I went with my friend to the one in the city center and the staff was really unfriendly and even rude. What is even worse, although they have seats and proper cafe place, they serve coffee in plastics cups.

Pasticceria Costa is an absolute delight for any dessert lover! From the moment you step inside, the inviting aroma of freshly baked treats promises a culinary adventure like no other. I indulged in their Sicilian cannoli, and let me tell you—they are to lose your mind for. Crispy shells perfectly cradle a luxuriously creamy filling, accented by just the right amount of sweetness and a hint of traditional citrus zest. Every bite is a celebration of authentic Sicilian craftsmanship and passion. The service is warm and attentive, making the entire experience feel like a cherished tradition. I wholeheartedly award Pasticceria Costa 5 stars for its exceptional quality, irresistible flavors, and the pure joy it brings with every delicious treat.

Every morning was started here. The cappuccino is outstanding, so smooth. The breakfast items are delicious too, best way to start the day. Highly recommend!

We stopped by Costa during our visit to Palermo to try their cannolis. The cannolis were super yummy, featuring a crisp shell stuffed with ricotta filling. We also tried a strawberry cream bread which was super light. The spot was super cute and offered seats outside amidst the busy street. The servers were also super friendly and patient with us, as we did not understand Italian.

They claim to make the best cannolo n Palermo. It was good, but not great. A little too sweet for my taste. Also the smallest and the most expensive I have had so far.

Was told this is the best place for a cassata, my favorite Sicilian dessert. A restaurant, that serves dessert, told us to go here! Several people work behind the counter and were helpful and friendly. We got two kinds and enjoyed them at a standup table with some water. Totally hit the spot. It was delicious. There were so many sweet treats here I wish it existed where I live! Will definitely come back here next time in Palermo!

Very high quality pastry shop in Palermo. The Casata cake is amazing. The cookies are great too. You may pay a little more. But totally worth it!!

Costa was recommended to me by my AirBnB host who's place is nearby. I had asked for a place with good cannoli. I was not disappointed. Good coffee too. A great way to start the day.
