Loved it so much we went twice. There is almost always a line in the morning, but it goes fairly quickly. Ordered strawberry peach one day, and coffee chocolate the next day (both times with brioche, please don't skip the brioche). A lovely way to start your morning in Taormina.

Granatta is super fresh fruit made into a fresh cold sorbet like consistency - but better! You still taste the seeds of the fruit (we had kiwi and strawberry) and the warm brioche is a nice addition for dipping. Do not skip.

Probably some of the best granita we ever had. Unfortunately they don't serve all the flavors on the menu so you have to read the board as to what they have at the time. On the first day here I had strawberry and lemon and my wife had coffee and Nutella. The second day the flavors were more limited so we just stuck to a single flavor each and had the coffee and strawberry again. This second time the granita wasn't as set so it was a little runny, the first day we had it was better.

Come for the granita! Granita is one of my favorite things (always my preference over gelato) and we had to try Bam Bar for an afternoon snack. In particular, my favorite granita is almond, which is something that's very popular in Sicily and Bam Bar happens to specialize in it. We ordered an almond granita with cream (panna?), a lemon granita, and a brioche which is a typical way to enjoy it. The almond granita was amazing. Powerful almond flavor, small chunks of almond and perfect creaminess. To my surprise, I almost preferred the lemon granita because it was so refreshing! I will mention, the service here leaves a lot to be desired. They are just churning out tourists at a rapid pace (there's dine in only) but I was happy to have the experience and enjoy some perfect granita with cream and brioche.

Our tour guide told us this was the best place to go for granita - specifically café con panna (cream). He was right. Absolutely delicious. Couple cautions - there's no takeout. At least, that's what they told us when we got there. It was also pretty crowded, but either because a large group just left or through sheer happenstance we were seated almost immediately. I think the turnover at this place is pretty high given that it doesn't take that long to devour a granita. So here's what you do - you order a café granita con panna AND a brioche and then you mix up the granita and dip your brioche in it. Astonishingly good. Really refreshing on a hot day. And as usual, service will require you be attentive because the service staff won't be, so as not to offend you.

Really really really loved this place and granite they served. There was a bit of a wait to get a table, but so worth it. I had to come back the next day for another portion of granite. It is, probably my favorite gelato and ruined all other gelato's for me . Staff was great, even though they were so busy they tried to communicate and make each guest feel welcome.

Went here for the famous Granitas. You need to wait for a table...we waited 30 minutes in a busy summer day.the waiters are pretty organized they know who is next. The Granitas are very good and the service is quick.

A tiny shop serving Amazon Granitas in the heart of Taormina. Unlike other spots, here you can have it all-a fresh and fruity granita on top of creamy gelato. There are dozens of combinations but we opted for raspberry granita on top of white chocolate gelato. You also have the option to add thick rich whipped cream (do it) on the top. All this for only 4€. Our group of 4 only ordered 2 to share but after a few bites ordered two more. Delicious and refreshing. It can be a bit of a wait for a table, just check in with a guy in an orange shirt and they will add your name to the list. Don't just grab an open table. An older guy takes the orders (and collects cash when you are ready to pay-not sure if the take cards). Highly recommended

For wonderful Granita and coffee in the amazing town of Taormina, Bam Bar is the spot to check out. If you go during peak season/hours, expect it to be very crowded. However, if you're there not during peak season/hours, many other things may be closed or it may be too cold outside. Whatever the weather and circumstance, if Bam Bar is open, you must go to it for their yummy granita!

Bam Bar lived up to its excellent reputation. My wife and I visited twice during our two days in Taormina. The first time was midday, and it was very crowded. We waited 15 minutes and then were seated outside. Service was swift despite the crowd. The next visit was for breakfast the next morning, shortly after opening. No crowd; most of the few people seemed to be local. Service again was swift. MIDDAY FOOD: 5.0 - Lime Granita (no cream), with brioche. - Lime/Strawberry Granita (no cream), with brioche. MORNING FOOD: 5.0. We wanted to try the raspberry but it was not yet ready. The gentleman (who seemed to own the business) told us it would be ready in 5 minutes. He was spot-on: in 5 minutes it was ready. - Raspberry Granita (no cream), with brioche. - Raspberry Granita with cream, with brioche. - 2 espressos SERVICE: 5.0. Prompt, even when crowded. Very fair waiting system for seating. AMBIANCE: 5.0. Indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors both times; it was shaded, clean, and pleasant.
