ristorazione — Acireale · Sicilia
In the heart of Acireale's baroque old town, in Piazza Indirizzo facing Villa Belvedere, Très Noir has built a place where Sicilian artisan pastry, gelato and cocktails share a single sign, open when the rest of the city slows down.
Très Noir occupies one of the liveliest corners of Acireale: Piazza Indirizzo, facing Villa Belvedere, within the baroque fabric of the old town. The place is open when others are closed, and this availability has made it a point of reference for those seeking a morning coffee, an afternoon break, or the start of an evening in the heart of the city.
The counter is the heart of the house: the display case holds the pastries of the artisan bakery — the torta sette veli (seven-veils cake) is among the specialities — while the artisan gelato, with flavours such as the pistacchioso (pistachio flavour) selected by the Carpigiani Gelato University, sits in its own case alongside. The cocktails — Mojito and Campari Spritz among the most requested — are prepared with skill by a service that customers describe as precise and professional.
From the kitchen come the arancini prepared with different fillings — the ragù version is among the most appreciated — and the tavola calda (hot food counter) offerings that mark the moment of the apericena (aperitif-dinner). Cured meats and cheeses of selected quality complete the evening service: a counter that at sunset transforms, without changing its nature, into a shared table where the savoury accompanies the sweet.
Très Noir is where Acireale gathers, from morning to evening: the page tells the story of every offering at the counter and the opening hours.
