Pasticceria Porta Sant'Agata di Trentacoste Cristian — Local services in Palermo

Absolutely fantastic little pastry shop. It was not the easiest to find, and i almost gave up. Google maps walking navigation is not the best. But once the hard work of finding the place was over, yowza! Superlative fresh artisanal pastry at supermarket prices. It's at least half the price of the touristy stuff on Via Maqueda. The platter in my picture cost €5 for 10 pieces. A great way to try a whole bunch of uniquely sicilian recipes. Would return in a heartbeat! Note: i didn't see cannoli on offer, but my Italian is weak so...

AMAZING gelato! I chose this place randomly when I was craving some ice cream, and I kept visiting it till the end of my trip to Palermo.

Pistachio gelato is the best and no one can convince me otherwise, but nocciola (hazelnut) was also top notch.

I would also recommend trying gelato in a brioche for a true Sicilian experience 🍨 The brioche itself was soft and delicious as well!

1 portion of gelato in copetta (cup) 1,80€ Gelato in brioche 2€

We discovered this pastry shop by accident. The cakes and biscuits looked delicious, we went in and the young man that served us was very helpful and took time to explain the ingredients to us in English. We bought quite a lot, they were superb. The prices were a honest price, not the inflated prices you see on the main shopping street. We are going back tomorrow to buy a few gifts. I can only recommend this shop and that you try it...
