Pasticceria Fratelli Magrì

This third-generation pastry shop remains one of Palermo's best. Defy your dentist with made-from-scratch staples like cassata or cannolo, or tuck into less obvious classics like patata, a sponge-based pastry with custard, marzipan and almond paste; and torta savoia, a decadent, multi-layered Sicilian cake made using dark chocolate and hazelnuts. The shop also serves coffee at the bar.
