2–5 €Sicilian cannolo in Palermo
The Sicilian cannolo is one of the most iconic desserts of the island’s pastry tradition. It consists of a crisp, fried tube-shaped shell filled with sweetened sheep’s milk Ricotta cream. The filling is often enriched with chocolate chips, candied orange peel, or chopped pistachios. In Palermo it appears in many variations, but the classic preparation favors fresh, fragrant Ricotta, filled at the moment of serving to keep the shell perfectly crisp.
