Are you looking for a truly exquisite pistachio granita in Catania without having to stray too far from the city center? Café Sauvage might be the answer you're looking for, though it's not for every palate.
Located on one of the city's most "chic" streets, Corso Italia, this bar stands out for its simple yet elegant decor, which provides a pleasant setting for your granita at any time of day.
The pistachio granita is delicious, with a truly perfect and intense pistachio flavor. Furthermore, the presence of chopped pistachios mixed into the granita is very interesting, proving to be a delightful and crunchy surprise with every spoonful!
On the palate, it feels slightly powdery due to the chopped nuts, an aspect I find very characteristic, though it might not be to everyone's taste.
We are looking at one of the best pistachio granitas in the city, which fully deserves a score of 9/10, as well as the title of "one of my favorites."
The mulberry granita is also excellent and very fresh (I even found pieces of fruit in it), as is the classic brioche "col tuppo," which is truly delicious. The presentation of the granita could be improved slightly. The pistachio gelato is also exquisite, for which you can find the dedicated review.
