🌹You land in Sicily, exhausted from your daily routine and work. You book a small room in the charming, historic town of Taormina, perched on the hills right above the sea. Your plan for this vacation is a total reset: no plans, good food, and peace and quiet.

🌹On your first afternoon, you decide to wander aimlessly through the labyrinth of narrow, stone streets. The Italian sun burns quite hot, and you quickly realize that you have lost your sense of direction—the navigation on your phone loses its signal between the old, stone tenements.

🌹Suddenly, from the depths of one of the hidden alleys, the incredible aroma of freshly ground coffee and sweet pastry reaches you. Following this trail, you come across a small, family-owned cafe (pasticceria), hidden away from the crowds of tourists. Francesca walks out of the establishment, carrying a tray full of Sicilian cannoli.
