Caffé Il Cigno

Very nice place with good atmosphere and service. The desserts were extremely delicious, we definitely recommend to try pistachio croissants

Enjoyed this family-run cafe for breakfast! Not a flashy tourist diner but a modest bakery run by a family that welcomes tourist and locals alike. The prices were fair and didn’t feel like a tourist trap. Our cream-filled croissants were tasty and fueled us for the morning. They have nice outdoor seating as well. If you’re looking for something quick and easy as well as tasty, I recommend this place!

If you wanna experience the atmosphere of an authentic Italian Cafe (seeing locals having their coffee , hear them talking and passing by getting Arancini for their lunch), then this is the place in Catania you should definitely visit. The food was fresh and tasty. We had arancini with butter and one with eggplant which was our favorite 😍 . Cannoli was extremely good and balanced in taste ❤

An excellent authentic local cafe, very close to the main square. A great place for lovely sicilian snacks from arancino to pastries, especially cannoli, as well as great coffee, soft drinks and something stronger if desired. They do lovely ice cream too, not too many kinds to confuse you, but plenty to enjoy. Very clean throughout, including (disabled) toilet. I tried aracino from three different places in town and this one makes the best! Popular with locals, which is always a good sign.

The riccota and pistachio cream in the canollo was perfect .They fill the cream right when you order to keep it crispy on the outside .Pistachio Arachini was also excellent.This is traditional Italian experience,in deep contrast with most tourist shops in Catania. It’s a shop I would personally visit again.

To me it felt like a very local experience! The atmosphere is fine! The pastries though! O M G!!!! They were amazing! This place deserves more reviews!!!

Conveniently located near our Airbnb, a good place to get something to go or have a seat in the shade on a hot day. The owner is friendly and endearing in that this place feels like a local Italian cafe. Had the almond croissant which was delicious and another Nutella filled, equally as good. Stop by if you’re around the area, it’s certainly worth a visit!

This cute and authentic place was adjacent to our Airbnb and the Teatro Romano. We stopped in for pastries and espresso and we had a pleasant experience with a genuine man who runs the place. This is not park avenue it is a simple and enjoyable place on the side of a busy road to stop for a chat and a drink.

Had such a lovely experience here and the most delicious freshly made canollo. Seating outside on the street to enjoy your drinks and snacks while watching the world go by. Thank you

Barista really kind, great coffee and cornetto pistaccio made by her father, amazing!

Stopped for a quick coffee and a cannolo. Very friendly service and they pipe in the cannoli filling fresh. I believe it was a ricotta and orange flavor

Magic. Stopped to grab a small bite and stuck for half an hour to try more delicious deserts.
Ice coffee was superb!

A must visit family owned and operated cafe in the heart of the city.
Great sandwiches and croissants.

We tried arancine and cannoli with a cappucino, very tasty! The man who served us was very polite and professional. Highly recommended experience!

Great place for a quick bite to refuel to continue exploring the city.
Has a few small tables outside on the sidewalk.
Good strong coffee.

Very nice place for breakfast or coffee in the center of Catania. Very kind service and delicious cornetto con crema di pistacchio!

They have such good baked goods and coffee and the woman who runs the bakery is the sweetest person. There’s no English but you don’t need it if you are just pointing at beautiful pastries.

Cozy and nice place, staff is very kind

Great prices. Great good. Friendly staff. Super authentic.
A must stop for anything cannoli, arancini , granita 🤩

Wonderfull spot, proper authentic! Went back three times on my stay
