Renowned for its gelato and pasticceria, Casa Massaro promises a delightful experience for both locals and tourists alike.

Patrons consistently rave about the wide variety of flavors available, particularly the exquisitely crafted gelato which is a staple here.

For those seeking a taste of Sicilia, Giovanni Pasqualone enthuses that the menu is brimming with exceptional local specialties, ideal for a quick yet satisfying lunch.

However, the customer experience at Casa Massaro has been a mixed bag according to some reviews. While many, like Massimiliano Domanico, have cherished memories of the establishment spanning decades, others have faced issues with service.

2025/04 幾乎經過一家冰淇淋店都會買2-3球的gelato 試試,希望能發現驚艷的口味. 這家表現中規中矩,價格也合理. 我給3.9

Gelato here is so good, one of the best in Palermo. They have many flavours and the price is reasonable. Unfortunately, the young girl staff here made me not want to come back again. Maybe I'm not Italian so the way she treated me was unfriendly and racist.

Ci vado da circa 40 anni, pasticceria, rosticceria e gelateria di alto livello, per chi vuole sedersi c'è una sala a parte del bar, inoltre c'è un fornito tabacchi.

Cibo ottimo, specialità siciliane di ogni tipo. Posizione strategica vicino l'università. Consigliato per un pranzo veloce ma soddisfacente

Massarosa è casa. Un pranzo veloce, un dolce pasticcino, una merenda da campioni, una colazione generosa per affrontarela giornata. Tutti vengono accontentati! Ampissima scelta tra rosticceria, primi, secondi, pasticceria mignon o torte. Non meno goloso il gelato artigianale con un'ampissima scelta di gusti.
