Undisputed protagonists on our tables, especially during the holidays, the typical sweets of Italian pastry have always enjoyed great success even beyond our borders. The “Made in Italy” label in this sector is still a distinctive mark worldwide, and Italian pastry is undoubtedly one of the best and most refined.
That’s why in today’s lines we want to talk about the best pastry shops in Agrigento where you can enjoy typical Sicilian sweets. Speaking of a particular chic trend that continues to expand, and previously only concerned savory items, it is worth mentioning finger food—those small portions that cater to new consumption styles.
This is the case, for example, for gala events or receptions, but also for informal after-dinner gatherings, where these foods are particularly tasty and visually appealing. The market for organic products, characterized by exotic spices and aromatic herbs, is also growing continuously, with pastry chefs perfectly combining these with traditional products.
TripAdvisor: The Best Pastry Shops in Agrigento
Let’s start with Pasticceria Caffè Concordia, one of Agrigento’s historic bars, belonging to the Saito family with a long pastry tradition. Known for its ricotta-based desserts, and more specifically for its rustic cake (a baked cassata filled with ricotta and covered with toasted almonds and cinnamon) and its ricottamisù, this pastry shop is located at Piazza Pirandello 36.
Another excellent pastry shop is La Preferita dei F.lli Latino, which, with over a century of tradition and pastry art skillfully passed down through generations, is considered one of the best. The pastry shop offers a display full of delicacies and always rich in colors, with a particular focus on aesthetic care and detail.
We must also mention Pasticceria Agorà located at Viale Leonard Sciascia 27. This pastry shop is perfect for any time of the day, from breakfast to after-dinner ice cream.
What about Caffè Pasticceria Patti? It may not impress with its location, but it is a historic workshop with an attached café that is a true treasure trove of delicious goodness. The first thing to try is undoubtedly the hand-made crust cannoli, but early in the morning, the scent of vanilla invades every corner of the historic center, and the small genovesi with cream are a joy for the palate.
Finally, but not least, we recommend trying Pasticceria Di Stefano located at Via Murano 23. This shop is practically ruled by pistachio, the unique and undisputed star of excellent gelato, pastries, and the famous stuffed and covered panettone, which has become the flagship product of this pastry shop, to the point of being produced and exported everywhere, even beyond national borders.
