  • 1. Gran Cafè Solaire

    $

    Even on rainy days (which admittedly there aren't many of), the sun seems to shine bright here. They serve arguably the best granita in the Catania area; the pistachio is so creamy you'll swear they added dairy. The blood orange highlights the robust flavor of the local citrus while the lemon is refreshingly bright, sweet, and tart and the chocolate is dark and rich. Area residents pop in to have granita with warm brioche for breakfast, lunch, or as an afternoon snack (yes, granita counts as lunch).

    • Shaded location off the port
    • Sublime granita
    • Relatively fast service
  • 2. Blu Bar

    $

    Even in the off-season, this little port café serves a reliable breakfast, with flaky croissants (often filled with marmalade) and good strong coffee. In the evenings, it becomes a gathering spot for aperitivo, where locals gather for a gin and tonic, Negroni, or spritz.

    $ | Quattro Canti

    Just steps away from Quattro Canti, this smart snack stop has everything you could want to accompany a break from sightseeing: panini, house-made pastries and biscuits, ice cream, and good coffee. There are tables in the cozy interior and out on the pavement, and pastas, pizzas, and salads are also served if you want something more substantial.

    $

    Dive right into the hustle and bustle of Catania at Caffè del Duomo, which has handmade cookies and cakes and a great local atmosphere. The piazza-front location is the main draw, but the fantastic cannoli are another reason to stop for coffee and watch the world go by.

    It's worth a visit for the sheer wow factor when you walk in and see the long pastry cases filled with every Sicilian delicacy you can imagine. Since 1962, they've been supplying the Catanesi with their daily raviola fritta (a fried pastry stuffed with sweetened ricotta) and short pulls of espresso. At aperitivo, order a drink and your table is instantly filled with a cornucopia of arancini, pizzette, potato croquettes, nuts, and chips.
