Stories & traditions
The Sicilian bar-pasticceria packs café, pastry shop and cocktail bar under one roof — coffee at dawn, panini at midday, aperitivo at dusk.
In summer the order to make is a granita with brioche col tuppo — semi-frozen almond, coffee or fruit ice scooped into a soft, top-knotted brioche, the classic Madonita breakfast eaten in the cool of the morning.
It sits on Viale Vincenzo Florio — the avenue named after the Targa Florio’s founder — at the entrance to the old town, near the Parco delle Madonie visitor point.
