Beautiful cafe. We visited a lot of cafés while in Catania but Prestipino was my favorite by…read morefar!!!! Located on the Dome plaza with a beautiful view of the city, delicious pastries, ice cream (best one ever!) and espresso, and great service we went back there many many times. Make sure to go inside and check out the pastries, and cookies. It is unbelievable!!!!!

This is where we pretty much had breakfast every day in Catania. Mainly because their cappuccino…read moreand pastries were to die for. We had sweet and savory pastries for breakfast. It was very delicious and cheap to boot. Service was a little spotty. But there wasn't any hurry. It is right in the main square, which I referred to as Elephant Duomo. I'm not sure what the locals call it. But perfect for people watching and enjoying the morning or sometimes afternoon for us.

There are some real goodies to be found here at this famous shop known as Doddis. If for some…read morereason you're in Messina looking for a quick pick-me-up, be sure to stop here! The desserts and drinks are definitely on point. If you've never had granita before, this is a good place to try it (be sure to get it with some brioche). They don't have their gelato on display, but they do have some (flavor list on the wall). There really is not much to do in Messina, but Doddis makes a trip worthwhile.

I went to this famous place with Locals. Every Sicilian from…read moreMessina know this place and enjoy its sweet and coffee or tea. I had an herbal Alpes mix tea with a piece of cassada. The tea so good and the cassada too except I had to move the frosting as it was too sweet. I will back again and try other things.

I would have to say the staff do a wonderful job at keeping the place clean and tidy. The food…read moreprices are reasonable enough for a train station and the food is quite good quality. I ended up having a toasted ham and buffalo mozzarella panini which filled the spot, it was only €4 which I think is fine for the location and the quality of the food. It's a great place to burn a bit of time better trains if you are like me and have the 1122am train to Palermo which means I've had almost 2.5 hours to wait since I arrived on the Lipari ferry this morning. It also feels a lot more comfortable to wait for your train, the red chairs are more comfortable than the wooden benches in the main ticket hall and you have Italian MTV playing to keep you entertained. They have plenty of items for long train trips such as books for adults, books for kids, toys, snacks, kids packs and plenty of good takeaway food options. They even have fonzies which is the Italian version of twisties the essential Australian snack. They also have ice cream, chewing gum, candy, 2 meters of kinder chocolate, several beers, ice tea, water and the usual and local soft drinks. I would have to rate this as my best train station cafe for sure. There is also plenty of space between tables if you have a bunch of luggage which is always appreciated.
