Donna Peppina pastry shop was founded in the distant 1924, by Mrs Finocchiaro Giuseppa (whose name comes from, Donna Peppina) and it was the first bar in Zafferana Etnea, a small summer resort on the slopes of Mount Etna. At the beginning, Donna Peppina runs the bar alone and after a while her nephew, Mr Coco Giuseppe joints her up to 1988 when he decided to sell the business.   In 1999 some young entrepreneurs buy the shop and with a strong will they attract the best clientele. In order to get this, they use a simple strategy: specialised personnel, good quality products and good service. Today these new owners consider themselves satisfied and continue to work with passion and dedication. These are their typical products: the skier's biscuit, the inimitable Sicilian pizza, almond, hazelnut, pistachio, pine seeds and lemon cookies, the cannoli with ricotta, the Sicilian cassata, the almond leaves and marzipan (frutta martorana); they are all hand-made with no preservatives added.   At the shop you can also find the fresh fruit "granite" and ice-creams. The new management also delivers their products in 24/48 hours, both in Italy and abroad. Donna Peppina pastry shop is also involved in banquet organization, in old palaces and beautiful villas, aiming to make all celebrations unforgettable.
