Pasticceria Luigi Ficarra

Best cannoli in Catania! My husband and I tried multiple places but this is the best! Very friendly and fantastic customer service! We came to this place multiple times during our stay in Catania. Also, highly recommend the pistachio granita and brioche. Thank you for the wonderful desserts and service. All of the staff were wonderful even with language barrier. Must go to place during your vacation/holiday!!

The best crema di caffe. Beautiful and equally delicious pastries. Family owned. Gloria and Flavio were sweethearts and made us feel very welcome. Highly recommend you stop for a sweet treat :)

I practiced my very little Italian and ordered a coffee with milk, my mistake I should have ordered the capaccino. And I ordered a crossiant. A nice warm crossiant with a hint of orange. So, so good.

I've had a Cannoli in America and thought it was gross, I didn't like the taste at all. BUT I thought I have to try it once in Catania, why not. Ohhhhh my god the ricotta cannoli is so good. I would 100% recommend.

I bought a few things to take away so that I can try them later.

I'll be going back and this time I'll be ordering the cappuccino.

As they say Happy people make food taste good. The place has the same vibe. I stopped by at the Pasticceria to buy some traditional Sicilian biscuits. The staff was very nice and helpful. They offered me a couple of biscuits to taste so that I could choose which ones I wanted to buy.
They make everything fresh and in-house.
Good for takeaway overseas too. Nicely packed individual biscuits. They were reasonably priced.
The staff was very lovely and friendly.
Definitely recommend.

The service was really friendly and quite fast. We took the recommendation from one of the waitresses and it was really good; almond and coffee granita with cream on top together with a classic brioche. DELICIOUS!
I would love to come back again.

Authentic Italian cafeteria. A getaway from the touristic overpriced cafe in city centre. I had delicious italian cookies and granita(almond and pistachio flavour 😍). The staff is super friendly and helpful. I even bought some cookies to bring home for friends!

Came here for breakfast 2 mornings in a row. The croissants are delicious and also the salty bread with fillings. I recommend arancini. Also, we took cannoli to go with fresh ricotta filling. Staff very nice.

Fantastic bakery/patisserie. Had a Sicilian Cannolo and a coffee, as well as taking a few local almond biscuits for my journey. The staff were really nice and the food delicious, would definitely be back again!

One of the best arancini there is, delicious, crispy, excellently made, excellent service, the staff speaks English, (it's great for people like me who don't speak Italian). The place is clean and tidy, a large selection of desserts and pastries, the coffee is excellent. Highly recommended to try it .

Since I was a little I used to come here with my Gramma and after years it is one of favourite place in Catania. You can have a nice coffee with a tasty dessert iat the bakery or buying a bunch of pastries for a Sunday lunch with the family and you will always feel that everything is fresh and genuine.

Fantastic place, amazingly fair prices :)

Excellent cannoli, really large portion! 2 euros each

Came back for Arancini, great quality! 2 euros each

We went here several times. They were very friendly and helpful. The pastries are delicious!

Pastry heaven with kind staff. They have it all, good coffee and spremuta, wide offer of pastry, gelato etc. Big cannoli fits into hand and is full of cream. Tried them with ricotta and pistacchio cream. It's worthy to turn from Via Etnea to this place. Grazie

Some of the best sicilian pastry in town. Had the best arancini with ragu. And the host that runs the Cafe is warm and welcoming, smiling and interacting with the customers. Felt like home and also wanted to try out the entire range of pastries. Prices are also very good. I would come back there each time I'd have the opportunity to be in Catania.

Very good coffee and the sweets were really good.

Granita and Brioche were good but the cannolo was oir favourite. They fill them on the sport, its a must try! The staff was super nice and welcoming. We will return there!

Very delicious granita and cannoli. Staff is very friendly, great prices.

Fresh delicious pastry. Ricotta cannoli is a must try

This place is a great little find. Service was excellent, food was delicious and good vibes all around. Lots of options for sweets also!
