Very impressed! - Edit
There are so many vegan options here that I had to actually look for non-vegan stuff. Everything is clearly labelled. I had my very first cannolo here and I was very impressed! Would definitely go back.
Read moreEdit: I went back again 6 years later and still loved it. A MUST if you're in Catania. Even more vegan-friendly now, and actually almost fully plant-based.

Essen lecker - Edit
Das essen war lecket. Der Service war nicht so gut. Der Kaffee war grauenhaft. Ich hatte nach einem großen Cappuccino gefragt und einfach ein großes Wasser Glas mit Kaffee und heißer Milch bekommen. 5,10€ habe ich dafür bezahlt. Der schlechteste und teuerste Kaffee in Italien.

Best experience - Edit
Ordered a Croissant/Cornetto filled with chocolate (so much filling and a very deep chocolate flavour) as well as other pastries, which were just as delicious. My friend had one of their hearty options, and she described it as perfectly filling without it being too oily. Gelato (Pistachio and Strawberry) was also extremely good (maybe not the best wafer), the first time i ever had vegan pistachio ice cream, and it was a wonderful experience. Would definitely recommend!

Good price, friendly service and plenty of options for breakfast, snack or lunch. Everything on display was vegan (and you can order lunch dishes as vegan or as original). Local non-vegan friend complimented the food as well.

Exquisite quality, a must visit for any vegan - Edit
If you only go out of your way for one place when in Catania, make sure it's Bar Dolcezza. Absolutely exquisite pastries, savouries, cakes, everything is sensational. The staff are wonderful too, you will wish you could go back again and again. Here's a list of our favourites:
Read moreBrioche (so perfumed to perfection) with granita (roasted almond or coffee for coffee lovers)
Cipollina (to die for lunch snack filled with caramelised onions and sauce)
Treccina or cornetto con crema (anything with their pastry cream/custard is worth getting)
Setteveli al Pistacchio (a seven layered cake, pistachio or chocolate options available, you can get a full sized cake or a mini portion in a cup)
Rhum babà (special rum soaked dessert from Catania, we have taken these and the cannoli to various family gatherings and they were demolished in 2 minutes with so many comments on how light it all is)

Disappointed - Edit
We bought two croissants, two gelato and 2 coffees. The taste of the croissant was bland. The cream had no taste, not even sugary. The gelato was ok, had better had worse and the coffe was the same as the gelato.
Read moreStaff was very friendly and they tried to help us. 5 stars for the service.
Pros: Locations was pretty , Staff was friendly
Cons: Taste, Price

Cibo ottimo, la gestione meno - Edit
Buonissima la tavola calda vegana, unica nel suo genere. La nota dolente di questo locale è la gestione. Personale spesso scortese e orari ridicoli, chiudono alle 18. Praticamente chi lavora in ufficio 9-18 può andarci solo nei weekend.

Paradise - Edit
Bar located in Catania with salted and sweet Sicilian products in vegan version (and ice creams too!). I tried immediately cannolo and took away some of their delicious optain to eat at home: brioche, cipollina and biscuits. All was delicious, really soft and tasty. Highly reccomended: don’t miss this place if you are vegan!

Great surprise! - Edit
I expected a traditional Italian place with limited options, but it was mostly vegan, only a small selection with meat options.
Read moreGorgeous looking chocolate deserts and the best ice cream!
Nice traditional pasties done well vegan. They also offer larger dishes like pasta and salads. They also sell tofu and other things to take away to cook at home.
Friendly staff.
Pros: Loads of vegan sweet delights, Friendly staff, Nice atmosphere
Cons: By a busy road.

Excellent vegan options, great prices! - Edit
This place was a gem. Everything in the vitrines was vegan. They have vegan sweets, including cornetti, cannoli, and panettone, but they also had a ton of savory options like arancini, pizza by the slice and several local variations of calzones. Everything was really affordable and the service was excellent. Apparently they have a non-vegan lunch menu as well as a vegan one, but as I said, everything on display in their cases was vegan. The best vegan options we found in Catania.

Best vegan pastry - Edit
It is weird that Happy Cow does not allow to give 5 stars to this caffe, as it does really good for veganism. Dolcezza is 10/10! Their pastries, cakes, and ice cream are all vegan. Our favorite were simple croissants and biscuits. Little cakes were delicious as well.

Best vegan croissants ever - Edit
I have tasted vegan croissants there and this is devine. I liked the plain one most of all, but only because there is so much chocolate ganache or vanilla cream filling in another ones. This is just… you can eat them endlessly

Must visit in Catania - Edit
This place is an absolute gem and a must visit if you’re in Catania, whether you’re vegan or otherwise. Offers some of the most delicious pastries and desserts I’ve had in my life at prices so low I felt like I was robbing the place when I got the check. Would’ve given it 5 stars but HappyCow doesn’t allow it sadly.
