Discover the flavors of the Sicilian tradition in the pastry shops of San Vito Lo Capo, Erice and Trapani
The long list of desserts, all delicious and genuine, that you can find in San Vito Lo Capo are the flagship of the local pastry shop.
Ricotta is one of the basic ingredients of many Sicilian desserts such as cassata, cannoli, graffe, peaches, cassatelle... but there is no shortage of cream and custards in exquisite cream puffs, profiteroles and various pastries...
Almonds are widely used, in small pastries and in the so-called "ericini", but above all in the Martorana fruit famous for its brightly colored shapes.
However, we do not want to take away the pleasure of discovery, rather we want to invite you to discover the "places of delicacies" where myth, history and culinary tradition still meet.
Erice
An unmissable stop in this delightful medieval village is the famous "Maria Grammatico" pastry shop.
Here you will find desserts with a superlative taste and the famous Genoese, baked desserts filled with soft cream, which Mrs. Maria learned to make as a child by learning the secrets of the nuns of the convent where she lived. You can still find her today in her pastry shop, proud of her work among a thousand scents and colors.
Trapani
45 kilometers from San Vito Lo Capo is Trapani, the city between two seas.
I assure you that it is truly worth visiting this small town located on the extreme tip of western Sicily, with a historic center full of ancient churches and noble palaces.
In terms of delicacies, here too you are spoiled for choice, but the place we want to introduce you to is the Pasticceria Colicchia famous for its special granitas made with genuine ingredients and in many flavours, excellent for a relaxing breakfast or for a fresh break during the day. We recommend the famous Sicilian Cassata.
Dattilo
The most loved Sicilian cannoli in western Sicily can be found here.
Cannoli are undoubtedly the most famous dessert on the island, everyone claims to make the best ones but I assure you that in our area there are real masters.
The Eurobar is now an undisputed destination for those who pass through these parts... an unmissable opportunity for those with a sweet tooth.
Custonaci
This small seaside village halfway between San Vito Lo Capo and Trapani is famous for a festival dedicated every year to a typical local dessert, the Spincia fest, a tasty pancake covered in sugar.
