Breakfast in Castellammare del Golfo
As soon as we heard of the move of dear friends from Winnipeg, we started dreaming, saving and planning our trip to visit them. The celebration of our 25th weddding anniversary was the perfect time.
After they picked us up in Palermo, we stopped en route to their home in their beautiful village of Castellammare del Golfo at a a bakery called Vito Navarra for breakfast pasties. My husband was up before me to pick figs in the orchard behind their home. We had cornetti filled with ricotta cheese and chocolate and another filled with pistachio butter. There were also castells which are ricotta filled perogies.
Sicily was the first stop of our Italian Mediterranean tour and we never encountered sweets as delectable as these Sicilian ones.
