Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo
What's not to love about a Sicilian ice cream and pastry shop? Pop in for delectable homemade sweets such as cannoli freshly filled with ricotta, cassata (sponge cake, cream, marzipan, chocolate and candied fruit) and pasticini di mandorla (almond pastries). It's not all sweet, though; there are also excellent freshly made arancini (deep-fried rice balls) and other snacks.
Eat in or out.
