Founded in 1969, La Rinascente Pastry Shop is a historic institution in Trapani that the Marrone family, owners of Antica Corte delle Ninfee, has proudly cherished within its walls for decades.
This artisanal treasure is rooted in the oldest Trapanese traditions, preserving the confectionery secrets once held by cloistered nuns in local convents.
After the long and dedicated leadership of Master Pastry Chef Gianni Costadura, the legacy has been entrusted to the expert hands of Paola Grammatico and Salvatore. With their authentic spirit and profound knowledge of Sicilian confectionery, they continue to delight visitors within the very walls of the Villa, keeping alive a heritage of ancient gestures, handmade recipes, and genuine flavors.
