The place
Since 1970, Pasticceria Gelateria Verona & Bonvegna has been a reference point for Catanese pastry tradition. On via Asiago, in the heart of Catania, the shop preserves the art of Sicilian pastry-making through generations of master confectioners who maintain the quality of raw ingredients and the care of artisan craft. The open workshop bears witness to the transparency of the production process, from the preparation of the celebrated cannoli with fresh ricotta to the granita served with soft brioche. Among the specialities, the chocolate pasticcini Savoia and the babà with cream and wild strawberries stand out, while the lemon cake wins over even the most demanding palates.
