What It Is

Bar Capriccio is a pastry bar with a gelateria in the heart of Corso Umberto. It offers artisanal gelato, granita, cannoli filled to order, cassate and Sicilian pastries. The kind of place to stop for a sweet break during your stroll.

It's not just gelato: the Sicilian cannoli filled to order with sheep's-milk ricotta are a must. Brioche with gelato or granita is also available for a Sicilian breakfast.

Why Go

• Cannoli filled to order: the crisp shell with fresh ricotta, not pre-filled (the difference is huge)
• Granita and brioche: an alternative to Bam Bar, without the queue
• Location: right on the Corso, handy for a pit-stop during the walk
• Pastries: cassate, almond pastries, frutta Martorana — the full Sicilian repertoire
