Caffetteria Luca Suite & Rooms

A nice bar with local foods and sweets, and a terrace where you can enjoy an aperitivo. Try the baked goods. They have their own parking, but it often fills up, so you might need to get a little creative.

The cornetti were the best we had on our trip, freshly made and still warm, just delicious. The cappuccini were perfect too. I'd love to come back!

The coffee was among the best I've tried in Sicily, and the prices were good. The cakes are excellent too. If you're hunting for the perfect pistachio, add this place to your list. Parking is a plus.

The granitas were memorable. The almond one had a strong Sicilian almond flavor and just the right sweetness, while the pistachio version was a little too sweet and white-chocolatey, though it still had an appealing pistachio taste. Their Colomba di pistacchio stood out most, with lovely nuttiness in the cream, topping, and glaze, plus a soft, moist texture. The cannolo was a solid mix of a light, crunchy shell and creamy filling. The pistachio pastries were generally well made and a little refined compared with the more rustic style at most other pasticcerias around Mt Etna. Caffetteria Luca in Bronte combines a pasticceria, tabacchi, hotel, and café. The café seems to be the biggest in town, with plenty of sweet pastries and savory options such as arancini, and a focus on pistachio. With so many different things going on, it may not exceed everyone's expectations. Much of the café space also serves as a smoking area for tabacchi customers, and locals gather to party while children bang on a piano. Still, enough of the pastries and granitas stand out to make us want to visit several times. We'll certainly be back.
