I believe they are a savory snack, but @LulusMom1 can tell you all about them 
There’s also more deets on them in this thread.
Now, back on topic 
Just a few more pistachio sweets at the Centro Italia branch near us, which is almost bigger than the one in the NE of the city we used to visit a lot.
We didn’t buy any of these, but a jar of pistachio pesto to attempt a recreation of that amazing sammich we had in Ortigia 
Ironically, I did not take a pic of the pesto 
Afternoon coffee treat was from another Italian bakery on our way home from the Italian market: a mini sfogliatella with pistachio cream
