Cuisine

Slushes

Acireale also expresses its creativity in its pastries and cuisine. Its lemon or almond slushes are the very best. Its confections are rich and imaginative: almond pastry, ricotta, custard or chocolate cannoli, rice zeppole. Its ice cream cups are delicious and showy. Cuisine can be quite varied, but fish dishes are fundamental to everything, as both first and second courses, due to the geographic position that has made Acireale a city of sea and fishing.
