What you’ll find

What Pasticceria Savia is known for

Facing the Villa Bellini gardens on Via Etnea, Savia has fried arancini and layered Sicilian sweets since 1897, and is widely credited with the granita-and-brioche breakfast that defines the city's mornings. The counters run to cannoli filled to order, cassata, minne di Sant'Agata and marzipan fruit alongside savory rusticana.
