La struttura, costruita nel 1873 accanto al Teatro Antico e immersa in oltre due ettari di macchia mediterranea, negli ultimi anni ha scommesso su un servizio di ristorazione d’eccellenza, tanto da ottenere nel 2019 l’ambita stella Michelin con il gourmet Otto Geleng, aperto solo a cena, dove assaporare le creazioni dello chef Roberto Toro accomodati in otto eleganti tavoli disposti nella terrazza panoramica; e poi il ristorante Timeo, con una selezione dei grandi classici della cucina siciliana e mediterranea. Imperdibile, prima di cena, un aperitivo al tramonto al bar letterario sorseggiando l’Etna Spritz ideato dal barman Alfio Liotta (oggi promosso a Food & Beverage manager di Belmond). Tra le novità della riapertura, i picnic gourmet nei giardini dell’albergo e le cene Krug x Onion in collaborazione con la celebre maison di champagne: gli chef Roberto Toro e Matteo Metullio (2 stelle Michelin al ristorante Harry’s Piccolo del Grand Hotel Duchi D’Aosta di Trieste) hanno elaborato un sorprendente menù degustazione che rende omaggio alla cipolla, ingrediente umile, ma al tempo stesso imprescindibile in ogni cucina del mondo, da abbinare a un calice di Krug Grande Cuvée e Krug Rosé.

Dal 1989 Roberto è il punto di riferimento per assaggiare i cannoli, insieme a tutta una serie di altri dolci a base di frutta secca e candita. Da provare sono la delizia al pistacchio e i cestini di mandorla e amarena, o la cassata, disponibile intera su ordinazione. Si viene attirati al negozio dai profumi e si finisce per fare scorta di tutto: dai nipudiddati di pasta frolla e le paste di mandorla fino ai cannoli che, secondo noi, sono i più buoni tra i molti sparsi per la città.

Even though cannoli are the king of Sicilian desserts, you won’t find any in the windows of most pastry shops. That’s because any decent Italian baker knows that cannoli must be filled on the spot in order to keep the ricotta filling creamy and fresh while the aromatic pastry shell remains crunchy. It’s worth wandering off Corso Umberto to track down Roberto’s, where the self-proclaimed “Wizard of Cannoli” offers what just might be the best cannoli in all of Sicily.

Laboratorio Pasticceria Roberto is a charming pastry shop located in Taormina, Italy, renowned for its freshly made cannoli. Customers rave about the exceptional taste and quality of the pastries, particularly highlighting the perfect combination of crispy shells filled with rich ricotta. The welcoming atmosphere and passionate service contribute to a delightful experience, making it a must-visit destination for anyone craving authentic Sicilian desserts.

The next morning, after I’d grabbed an almond milk granita – a semi-frozen dessert that originated in Sicily – from Bam Bar, and sampled the calorie-laden cannoli at Laboratorio Pasticceria Roberto – arguably the best in town, I took a walk through the town. Taormina’s main thoroughfare was once part of the ancient Roman road, the Via Valeria, and it still showcases the town’s rich history with its mix of Arab, Norman, Baroque and Gothic architecture.

Our favourite cannoli of the trip came from the Laboratorio Pasticceria Roberto; a lovely old fashioned bakery tucked away in one of the side streets. The baker saw me eyeing some of the cakes that had just come out of the oven and offered me a piece. In my excitement, I tried to shove it straight in my mouth, totally forgetting I was wearing a face mask.

We always get ours from Roberto because the case is so crisp, the ricotta filling is almost savoury (so the whole thing doesn’t get too sweet), and the caramelised almonds are the perfect finishing touch. We love these so much we brought 4 back on the plane when we left!. We enjoyed our cannoli with a glorious view of Mount Etna at sunset.

A trip to Sicily is never complete without eating a cannolo. And Laboratorio Pasticceria Roberto is one the best bakeries in Taormina to sample the traditional tube-shaped dessert. The family-run bakery also sells artisanal Sicilian treats like cassata cake, marzipan, and strudel stuffed with peaches, lemons, or tangerines.

The concept of the family-run Laboratorio Pasticceria Roberto is similar to Cannoli & Co in Palermo, with each cannoli made fresh in front of the customer using the traditional family recipe. It’s recommended to have the cannoli shell rolled in pistachio for extra crunch and to enjoy your cannoli on their outdoor patio.

Lucky for me, the king of the cannoli has a shop around the corner from where we were staying meaning I could duck out and get one without getting too wet!. They fill the cannoli to order, so you see a stack of shells ready to be filled with sweetened ricotta goodness.

You can't come to Sicily without trying a canoli, and if you're going to try a canoli it might as well be from Roberto. With mouth-watering window displays that rival any bakeshop, this authentic hole in the wall was one of my favorite accidental finds of the trip.

Laboratorio Pasticceria Roberto: This bakery and pastry shop is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth. They serve a range of delicious pastries, cakes, and gelato, all made with high-quality ingredients.
