This is a must-visit spot in Taormina. I believe Bam Bar is absolutely WORTH THE HYPE. Not because you feel as though you're in a filming location of "The White Lotus" (which you are), but because I whole-heartedly believe their granita is some of the best in Sicily. So creamy. So flavorful. I'm typically not a fan of whipped cream, but their "Crema" (basically whipped cream) on top was so soft and sweet that it'd be a crime to not have it added to your granita (for no additional charge). I went twice in one day, and both times I got a combination of Strawberry and Nutella with "Crema" on top (you must ask for this) and with a Brioche (to dip into the granita, of course). Add Bam Bar to your Sicilian itinerary.

Bam Bar is an absolute MUST when visiting Taormina!…read more Quite simply, the best granita in the galaxy! Everything we tried was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the whole experience was so much fun. The atmosphere is colorful, lively, and full of Sicilian charm, and it's the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. If you're in Taormina, do not leave without stopping at Bam Bar for a granita (and brioche!). It was one of our favorite stops in Sicily and a place we'll absolutely return to. Highly, highly recommended!

This was quite the happening place when our party arrived in the afternoon. Tables were filled and…read moreit took a moment for us to get seated. After being seated, we were never provided a menu of any sort and actually sat for several minutes before someone came by for our order, still with no menu. Regardless, we knew we were ordering granitas, brioche, and the arancini. Granitas - They verbally gave us a limited list of what flavors were available. We tried the almond, strawberry, pistachio, and limon. All flavors were delicious, not overly sweet, and very refreshing. A lighter more slush like version of gelato. Brioche - The brioche here is light and delicious, served warm, and is an amazing accompaniment to granitas. Definitely order one to balance out the granita if it gets too cold. Arancini - The ragu arancini is absolutely amazing. It was actually the better of the three items ordered in my opinion. I came for the desserts, but found myself fully enjoying this item more. The ragu is hearty and the flavors robust. A masticating delight of flavors. If you're not a smoker, definitely try to top for a seat indoors. Sitting outdoors will likely expose you to several patrons and even passersby or individuals sitting on nearby benches to cigarette smoke. Overall, the food and desserts here are amazing. I wish I had the stomach and time to try more of what they had to offer. Everything looked amazing and all seemed to be very reasonably priced.

The Hugo spritz was decent. Not the best but not bad. The snacks were yummy and the large beer came in a wine bottle. Perfect little place to sit and relax before walking through the park.

They have 4 different options for Cannoli the plain, lemon, chocolate and pistachio and two sizes Small "piccolo" or Large "grande". I would suggest if you have to wait a while for dinner consider the grande option! Prices start from 2 euros upto 3.5 so it's a fairly good price for a decent Cannoli, I went with the pistachio one in a small size as I didn't want to ruin my appetite.

We planned to skip this place…read moreand go to a gelateria closer to where we were staying, so that our goodies wouldn't melt before we got home. But, the crowd here was just so huge that we thought there must be something worth trying here. I'm so glad that we came! The name of this place means "crazy desire" in Italian - Someone correct me if I'm wrong! - And it's not an exaggeration because every single item here with me covetous, and a little bit drooly! In the end I went with a "tartufo," which is a heart of ice cream and ganache wrapped with a chocolate shell. TO DIE FOR. In a little bit of serendipity, as I was asking silly questions about different flavors and gluten, I realized I was chatting with the owner of the place. He talked to me a little bit about the prevalence of celiac disease in Italy - that's why you need to only ask at most places, and they will have a gluten-free substitute for most pastas, pizzas, and even some dessert items! It was just a nice treat to talk to the owner of such a busy place, on a busy night, as two out of towners who just happened to be passing by. He didn't speak much English, so we were speaking in Italian the whole time... But don't let that dissuade you from coming here! If you're in Siracusa, do not miss this place, you won't regret it.
