The story
Palace Catania, a renowned hotel on Catania’s main thoroughfare, earned a four-and-a-half-star rating from a different kind of review: a Too Good To Go experience. The Frama Twins, in a video titled "Mangio gli AVANZI di un HOTEL di LUSSO," found the surprise box surprisingly generous. For just €3.99, they received seven savory croissants—filled with speck and cheese, or prosciutto and cheese—alongside a huge container of sweet pastries.
The sweet offerings were the highlight. "The sweet pastries especially were excellent," they noted. The box included Nutella, chocolate, and marmalade cornetti, plus a graffa. For a hotel known for upscale Italian breakfast, this takeout deal delivers remarkable value without sacrificing quality, proving even leftovers from a luxury hotel can be a refined treat.

A great Too Good To Go experience at a renowned Catania hotel — the box was surprisingly generous with 7 savory croissants and a huge container of sweet pastries, all for €3.99, and the sweet pastries especially were excellent.
Dishes mentioned
Cornetto Salato con Speck e Formaggio
This one is whole wheat, with speck and cheese inside. The taste is classic and good, but it's a bit dry — probably made this morning but sat out for a few hours. Still, it's fresh and the flavor works. The crunch from the corasan gives it a nice little extra.
Cornetto Salato con Prosciutto e Formaggio
This one is not whole wheat, and the prosciutto looks a bit gelatinous on the edges, drier and harder. The cheese is also a bit hard on the edges. But overall the taste is good — the corasan with those crunchy bits blends everything together nicely.
Cornetto alla Nutella
This one is full of Nutella — a generous amount, really good. I'd risk giving it a kiss, it's that good.
Cornetto al Cioccolato
This one is a bit pastier, it sticks to your throat a little when you swallow — you need water. The cream is really dense, you have to chew it longer.
Cornetto alla Marmellata
Also completely stuffed with jam, really good.
