1. Cannoli in Palermo

These crispy cylinders are made with a fried shell filled with sweet ricotta, often enriched with chocolate chips, candied orange peel, and chopped pistachios. The combination of textures and flavors makes each bite a unique and unforgettable experience. 

The Area: Palermo, the vibrant capital of Sicily, is a city rich in history and culture. Stroll through colorful markets like Ballarò and Vucciria, admire the Arab-Norman architecture, and be enchanted by the Mediterranean charm of this city. Palermo is a fascinating mix of ancient traditions and vibrant modern life, where every corner tells a millennia-old story.

2. Tiramisu in Venice

The Dessert: Tiramisu is the quintessential Italian dessert, loved worldwide. This sophisticated dessert consists of layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, alternated with a mascarpone cream and a dusting of cocoa. The contrast between the bitter coffee and the sweetness of the cream creates a perfect balance, making tiramisu irresistible and delicious. 

The Area: Venice, the city on water, is unique in the world. Get lost among the canals, discover hidden corners, and enjoy the magic of St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. Venice is a place where every corner tells a story. The city offers a romantic and mysterious atmosphere, with its bridges, gondolas, and historic palaces reflecting in the water.

3. Baba al Rum in Naples

It is often served with whipped cream or custard, creating an explosion of flavors that will captivate your palate. 

The Area: Naples is a lively and fascinating city, famous for its cuisine, history, and indomitable spirit. Explore the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and enjoy the view of Vesuvius and the Gulf of Naples. Naples is a city that pulses with energy, with its bustling markets, crowded streets, and lively squares.
