Pasticceria Irrera 1910

After witnessing the 12 o'clock bells ring at Cathedral Messina, we found our way to this wonderful shop for a traditional sicilian coffee granita with brioscia. The whipped cream, icy coffee crystals, accompanied by the perfect brioche was a nice way to cap off a quick few hours in the port! We also tried the cannoli, and its the best ive ever had! That same whipped cream is so enjoyable, and the pastry shell is light and crispy! I also had to try the life-like Cherry pastry! Everything is delicious and thoughtful. The barristas are all so kind and helpful! We will come back!

Great coffee shop The sweet and the coffee maybe the one of the best in Italy ❤️👍 Dont miss the chocolate canolli Because it might be the best canolli in Italy

Gelato tastes good in general but it melts so fast so we'd better be hurry. Mine was 2.8e. I tried cookie cream something and pear, it's not too sweet. The staff are really nice and helpful. The store looks cute too.

Yes…visit here for fantastic pastries. A friend who grew up in Messina recommended this place. It is very popular and was busy on a quiet Sunday. All the other surround shops were closed except for this place. We had the Fragola, Cannolo Ricotta and feta torta Piccola. All at my friend’s recommendation. Each were delicious and different. I gave up trying cannoli, even from some famous shops in Boston, because none come close to Sicilian cannoli. I’m ruined because they are so beautifully prepared here. I don’t know if I will return to Messina, but if I do I will return to Irrera. Oh yes, and all the desserts and a water totaled $13 Euro. A steal.

During our trip to Messina, my daughter and I visited Pasticceria Irrera 1910, and it was a delightful experience. The service was quick and welcoming, and the food was outstanding. We tried a variety of traditional Sicilian pastries and drinks: Cannolo Siciliano: The classic, with a perfectly crispy shell and rich, creamy filling. Brioche: Soft and slightly sweet, perfect with granita. Maritozzo con Fragole: A delightful pastry with cream and strawberries. Iris al Forno: Baked pastry filled with sweet cream, lightly dusted with sugar. Granita al Pistacchio con Panna: Refreshing pistachio granita with whipped cream.Espresso: Strong and well-balanced, complementing the pastries perfectly. A tip: most items can be ordered in small (piccolo) or large (grande) sizes, so you can sample more. Everything was prepared to perfection, making this a must-visit spot in Messina for lovers of Sicilian pastries.

Great pastries and really kind staff. Their granita was also really nice. The pastry with the wild strawberry was my favourite 🍓. All really great quality.

Great atmosphere, authentic food, several Sicilian “specialties” on the menu— canollo 5*, Salata 5*, granita (specialty coffee) is literally a MUST TRY! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Definitely the best Cannoli I’ve had. Coffee was very good as well

I don't understand how no tourist has yet Yelped Irrera 1910. It's a fairy land of Sicilian desserts and if you find yourself in Messina and don't hunt this place down, you're out of your mind. Pasticceria Irrera is considered by many to make the best cannoli in the world, and I would proudly agree with that. I literally got teary as I took my first bite. Just a word to the wise, though... Eat the treats fairly soon. Everything made from scratch also means no preservatives, so by the next night, not as amazing. But fresh out of the display case? It's a religious experience.
