    Brioscià - Best gelato

    Pair of Palermo reviews without photos - 2 of 2…read more It's only appropriate to write this review as part of a matched set. That's because this was the next stop after La Taverna di John. The pizza was more than fine, but I wasn't going to balk at "dessert" that I was being treated to and where the consensus was to go. This is definitely the place - Brioscia on Via Mariano Stabile, meaning this dude was, or is, "stable." Who can forget a street name like that? It sits under or near one of those blocky office buildings or condos that must have gone up during the building boom of the '60s or '70s, and where the sidewalk is covered by the colonnade of the building. (I'm sorry for having to get into all these specifics, but I can't seem to write up a review without giving a lot of extraneous contextual information.) Moving right along, I am almost sure that the Sicilian term brioscia is rooted in the French word brioche. Here, the thing to do is to have the gelato and/or sorbetto placed into a brioche bun that has been spread apart to accommodate the ensuing decadence! I was not expecting this presentation. I have had "brioscia(s)" in the morning for breakfast and they are really tasty on a stand-alone basis, given that they are sweet. And I've had gelato in a cup or a cone. This merging of gelato and a brioche bun is a cool idea. I shouldn't do this when I go for gelato or ice cream, but I usually mix it up with one chocolate based flavor and one citrus flavor. And that's what I did at Brioscia. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I'm talking about how the mix comes off. That the individual flavors at Brioscia are excellent and tasty goes without saying! There is a little wafer that they place at the top. A napkin is placed below the brioche bun. (I think you should also ask for a spoon.) The treat is, or can be, drizzled with a topping. Note that Brioscia is popular. You won't have the counter to yourself! The young people working here are pleasant. I got a sample, or maybe two, before deciding on the flavors, but know what is reasonable and don't be obnoxious. This is a popular gelateria in Palermo, and for good reason.

    All I can say is wow! Visited here on my trip to Palermo since I needed to try gelato in a brioche…read morebun as recommended by every food article about Sicily. This did not disappoint. I had Baci flavored gelato in a brioche bun drizzled with chocolate. It was delicious, divine, and sinful - the perfect combination for dessert. The gelato was creamy and light, not dense at all. The bun was fluffy and tasty. When the hot chocolate was drizzled on the gelato it immediately hardened and created a great texture. I'm so happy I was able to give this a try while in Palermo.

The service could not have been better and then the gelato and gretnae for dessert? Definitely icing on the cake!

I am standing looking at the architecture near by and the owner of this place grabbed my arm. Called me a thief. Accounted me of not paying a $6.50 check. Which I paid and left the waiter a $3.50 tip. He said no and literally dragged me down the street to the cafe. He threatened to call the police. The young server horrified said what are you doing this woman paid. He let go or my arm. I had a full blown PTSD episode of being assaulted and manhandled by this horrible man. His wife a kind person gives me tea to collect myself. I was in total disbelief of begging touched threatened grabbed and I have a bruise on my wrist. I thanked her for her apology but will not accept an apology for what her husband who she called a "Goodman" he is a brute and a very other choice words. I asked her who the hell he thinks he is he can touch a woman like h this. Disgusted. I left and walked back to the corner where he assaulted me and accosted me. There were two female police officers and I told them what happened. He was wrong and how he handled and treated me. I said I am a woman a lady. Look at me. They were upset for me and could see how activated I was from being tgrabbed in the street and treated this way. They went to the shop and spoke to the man. Today by change I walked in and I showed the wife the black and blue marks on my wrist from where her husband grabbed me. Never walk in this place. The husband behind the counter has zero business with people or handling people or near a woman. There are other reviews that mention a man who is not kind and rude to. Customers. Believe it. Cute on the outside. Don't step foot inside. I have CPTSD from being physically attacked. He's very lucky I stayed in my wise mind and didn't lose it. I did nothing to retaliate physically. I froze. As he dragged me down the street to pay for a check I had already paid. There's a special place for men like this.
