Prestipino

Catania


A local institution, piazza-side Prestipino is a top spot to slip on your shades, order a cappuccino and eye-up the passing parade of pic-snapping tourists, loved-up couples and gossipy old nonni. The cafe is well known for its paste di mandorla (almond-paste biscuits), though it's also worth trying the very local crespelle di riso, dangerously addictive rice fritters smothered in sticky honey.
