The story
Tucked away on Via Mongibello in Belpasso, Frank Bar has earned a solid 4.4-star reputation for inventive pastry and street food. The Frama Twins stopped by twice and came away impressed. On their first visit, they celebrated the bar’s hyper-realistic fruit creations, naming the arachide and pistachio the best, while the raspberry also earned high marks. Across a long list of approved bites, the twins found the entire fruit lineup remarkable.
On a return trip, the twins highlighted Frank Bar’s take on rame di Napoli, especially the Dubai Chocolate version layered with kataifi, which they called a “unique and delicious twist.” The classic, Lotus, and pistachio renditions also got thumbs‑up. Whether you’re after stunningly lifelike fruit or clever riffs on Neapolitan street‑food classics, Frank Bar delivers a playful, trend‑forward experience that fits comfortably into the local café scene.

“The pear has more mousse than the one from the other place, but since they're handmade they can't all be the same. The sweetness of the pear comes through well. I was afraid the pear flavor wouldn't be strong, but it is. Good.”

We really liked the realistic fruit at Frank Bar. The arachide and pistachio were the best, but the raspberry was also great. Approved.
Dishes mentioned
Peach
The peach is very realistic and cute. It has big fruit pieces inside. It reminds me of a fruit candy. The fruit chunks are amazing, really big.
Lampone
The raspberry is full and juicy. It made a crunchy sound when cut. It's really good.
Babà Realistico
This is a babà with a chocolate coating and Lotus biscuit crumble. The crunch is there. Inside there's a strong rum flavor, orange, and biscuit pieces. Very calorific but delicious.
Fava di Cacao
The cacao bean is hard to cut, like Turkish delight. Inside there's a giant chocolate piece and chocolate mousse. Delicious and very rich.
Pera
The pear has more mousse than the one from the other place, but since they're handmade they can't all be the same. The sweetness of the pear comes through well. I was afraid the pear flavor wouldn't be strong, but it is. Good.

Dove mangiare le RAME di NAPOLI a CATANIA e dintorni | Catania food tour 2025 · @ 19:28
Frank Bar is a great spot for innovative rame di Napoli, especially their Dubai Chocolate creation with kataifi, which is a unique and delicious twist.
Dishes mentioned
Rama di Napoli Dubai Chocolate
This is the Dubai Chocolate rama, with kataifi dough inside. It's more delicate than the others. The soft biscuit and the crunchy kataifi give a unique texture. It's very good, the crunch is amazing. I'd put it first place together with the Lotus one.
Rama di Napoli Classica
This classic one reminds me of the rama I ate as a child. The biscuit and the chocolate glaze bring back that old-school taste. It's exactly how a classic rama should be.
Rama di Napoli al Lotus
The Lotus one is beautiful. Just the right amount of cream, the glaze is good, the biscuit is soft. It's delicious. For me, it's my favorite, together with the Dubai one.
Rama di Napoli al Pistacchio
The pistachio one is full and loaded, but the ratio of cream to biscuit is just right. It's good, but I prefer the Lotus and the Dubai here.
