Pasticceria Gelateria Baratta

This is a little gem hidden in the heart of the city. From the outside, it may seem a bit dated, almost old-fashioned, but stepping inside reveals a world of extraordinary products, handmade with textbook craftsmanship. Everything is fresh and delicious: from the desserts to the gelato, each product showcases the passion and experience of those who have been making it for years. A special mention goes to the CANNOLI, which in my opinion are among THE BEST IN FLORENCE. ‼️𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗚𝗟𝗜𝗢: 𝗦𝗘 𝗡𝗢𝗡 𝗩𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗘 𝗜 𝗖𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗢𝗟𝗜 𝗜𝗡 𝗘𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗭𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗘, 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗜 𝗣𝗨𝗥𝗘.

It would be nice, if possible, to add a few more tables outside so you can enjoy the sweets in more comfort. Overall, this is a pastry shop not to be missed for anyone who loves quality artisanal products, where the owner's courtesy and passion make the experience even more special!

Sicilian pastry shop with traditional, always fresh products. Cannoli, marzipan, iris, and other pastries—all truly excellent. They also have savory options, like very tempting arancini. The place has a slightly vintage feel, the staff are friendly, and the service isn't always the fastest, but the atmosphere is pleasant. Recommended for taking a break and enjoying something delicious, sweet or savory.

It's an old-fashioned bar, very '70s and '80s, run by a friendly and welcoming couple. Their desserts, almost all typical Sicilian, are spectacular. I don't go there often, but I'm always satisfied. I always order a freshly squeezed orange juice and two pastries (I always alternate between pistachio, cream, and ricotta). They make a variety of desserts, including fried ones, many of which are made with ricotta. I was there this morning and even saw some pastries you can order for Easter. I recommend practically everything. The bar is spotless, the girl who served me was very kind, the prices are very reasonable, and there are even a few tables outside.

If you're passing through this neighborhood, stop by for an artisanal pastry. The arancini, the iris, and the cannoli are excellent. For a quick break, enjoy a cappuccino and fresh orange juice, and a sweet treat from the entire display. I recommend it.

The only true Sicilian pastry shop in Florence! It may seem a bit bland, but upon entering, you'll be impressed by the specialties on offer, such as the cannolo, made strictly to order, and the iris, available in cream, chocolate, and fried ricotta versions. It's always a pleasure to chat with the owners, a charming couple who always hold a piece of their homeland dear to their hearts.

Authentic Sicilian cannoli, filled freshly, according to the recipe. Nothing else to add...

Thanks to Pinna Giancarlo Antonio Ilda and all the staff at Bar Baratta! Authentic Sicilian Canoli Delicious!

Freshly made Sicilian cannoli. The crunchy mixture with the ricotta cream is exceptional. It can be consumed in the cafeteria or ordered to go. You have to have a little patience (mindfulness) while you wait for it to be prepared but it is very worth it. They also have other products such as horn stuffed with pistachio (highly recommended too).

Sicilian-run pastry shop and bar with amazing arancini and cannoli made fresh. A must-visit when in the area. The place is dated and a little bare, but it's clean and the service is friendly.
