Pastries were good but frozen inside, so it means they were deep frozen and not fresh. The serice lady who brought coffee and pastries to the table was friendly, the cashier was rude, unpolite, disrespectful and unfriendly. Of course, she only spoke Italian (why would anyone bother speaking anything else on an island attracting international guests?!). The credit card machine was apparently not working and she didn’t know how to reboot it (why would anyone working at the cashier need to know that?!), and her colleague (on leave, just hanging around there), managed to make it work when I refused to pay cash and didn’t react when she was yelling at me that the ATM was outside. They’ve probably run this place for generations and have no clue that in business one needs to be friendly... An institution here in Lipari. Very good granita and brioche, however the is really awful and this drives the poor rate. The older waitress has no manners. I’ve kindly asked for a bottle of water, she snorted saying “one moment!” and the bottle never arrived. I struggled to get a coffee before the rest of the order. Very disappointed that a popular place as this one doesn’t care about and professionalism to customers. After reading the lonely planet guidebook where this place was mentioned as a must go - I wanted to try. The prices are elevated but this is an island so... The was average but this was the worst granita I have tried in Sicily. And the restroom can be opened by a key which need to be asked from the staff - and the conditions of the restroom is awful (smell and dirt). Find another place. I’m shocked by all the bad reviews. Yes, it is expensive. But the treats and espresso and were all amazing—we went back two days in a row. The cassata Siciliana was to die for! We had one tiramisu, one pistachio cheesecake, and an eolina, or something like that,, local pastry with almonds… two coffees, and one bottle of water for 23 euro. Very expensive and they charge you service. Desserts were ok, but was very questionable, and actually very confusing to place an order… also the waitress was upset because I asked to change table since the one we chose was besides the trash bins and there were flies flying by. Perhaps it’s the Sicilian way, very disappointing… Amazing cannoli! Amazing ice cream! I loved the coffee and other pastries as well. I didn’t see the reviews before going there now I went online to give the best review for the whole island Lipari. I don’t understand how come it has only 2.2 stars out of 5. For me and my family this has been the best pasticceria in Lipari. We’ve tried other few ones but this one has taken our heart and our stomachs as well. We’ve gone there the last 3 days of our stay, since it seems like we’ve found the best one now. Price-wise is not the cheapest but I was not aiming for cheap instead I went for full quality pastry. We definitely recommend it and would always return. We will honestly miss this place & be back on our next vacation! Everything we tried was excellent. Yes, it’s slightly on the upper price range, but really not by much—especially when you consider the quality of the products and the fact that you’re on an island… Of course, we recommend the granita and brioche (a classic combo), but we also sampled most of the morning pastries and none of them disappointed. The pistachio croissant is a killer—absolutely delicious. The terrace, while close to the main street, is set back enough that it doesn’t feel like you’re close to the road. It had a relaxed, holiday vibe that we really appreciated. Two coffee and 3 scoops of gelato-19 euros. While choosing flavors we were offered to sit and wait for gelato and coffee, but the price is 3 times more if you sit, but no one is explaining it to you. Price on fridge indicates 5 euro, but after you sit it becomes 15. So be aware of the scam!
