Panificio - Savoca

Home made biscuits and bread, extremely tasty and the biscuits traveled well so still enjoying them now back in the UK

The Panificio (Bakery) is a simple place to eat, with just a few things on offer, but it gives a real taste of local colour, and the bread and focaccia are just delicious! We found it a refreshing change from all the other fancy restaurants nearby with their big menus. This was one of the highlights of our trip to Sicily. The focaccia only cost us 6 euros for two, and it was more than enough for the two of us. It's like a pizza, where you get a choice of toppings, but it is on a bread like substance. The first night we sat and ate with the locals in the street. On our final night we took two away with us on a big cardboard tray to eat on our terrace. The loaves of breads with tomato or vegetables in them, which the baker sold during the day, were like some thing I had never tasted before and were just delicious. The owners were very friendly, charming and helpful. A real must to if you want to experience some local colour and delicious local cooking.
