Le Chicche di Francesco Taverna
A story made of love, passion, dedication, and care. The story of Le Chicche di Francesco Taverna, where tradition has embraced innovation without neglecting what comes from the heart.
The Taverna artisanal workshop officially began in 1945, when Francesco, after working at a very young age with his father Vincenzo, bravely and entrepreneurially decided to start the business of processing dried fruit and orange peel.
In the 1950s, he acquired Caffè Crucitti. This is how Francesco Taverna’s Pastry Shop was born.
