Fantastic texture and taste, though it lacks intensity and has a hint of almond.
Rating: 7/10
Bar Pasticceria Messina is undoubtedly one of the most famous spots in Messina, thanks to the high quality of its granite. We decided, therefore, to put their pistachio granita to the test.
The experience was sublime overall, as we were treated to the authentic and flawless Messina-style granita, with its unique texture that melts in your mouth and blends perfectly with the extraordinary fresh whipped cream.
Focusing on the pistachio flavor, we found it pleasant, even if not intense enough to reach the highest scores. Furthermore, we detected a slight hint of almond. Paradoxically, when eaten together with the cream, the pistachio flavor is actually accentuated.
The quality of the whole pistachios on top is quite good. The brioche is very good.
Ultimately, a sublime texture and a good pistachio flavor, which could be enhanced with a few tweaks (and by removing that almond note) to make it a perfect granita.
