Before diving into the details and discovering the best bakeries to try during our vacation in Palermo, it’s good to understand what were actually talking about.
Bakery Palermo
The term “bakery” derives from the English word “to bake,” which means to cook in an oven. This term corresponds to “baker,” which translates to “fornaio” or “panettiere” in Italian. When we think of the term “bakery,” we refer to a place dedicated to the creation and sale of baked goods and pastries.
Well, in Sicily and specifically in Palermo, there are such places, but choosing the right one to try is not easy. For this reason, we rely on TripAdvisor reviews. Here are the top three places to consider:

The specialty of this place is the production of cannoli, cassate, granitas, and typical Sicilian pastriesall in their most classic forms and always faithful to tradition.
