Most people take and enjoy as they keep moving. Talked with the two young guys working there about why it's so popular. They only use seasonal raw materials and milk from organic farms. They won the prestigious "three cones" award from Gambero Rosso in 2000. Apparently this is a big deal, posters and signs everywhere highlighting this. I went with their popular brioche bun with coffee gelato. This thing was a monster, glad I'm splitting it! This is considered a gourmet ice cream sandwich. It was amazing, definitely a different taste with a bun and ice cream... but delicious. No wonder this place is recognized as one of the best gelato shops in Palermo if not all of Italy.

The menu board is in Italian and in English which was most helpful. Pick your shell, pick your filling and then then how to you want to finish it off. The do have other things here including the famous "brioche" (ice cream stuffed brioche roll), arancine and fruit slueshes. I went with the pistachio shell filled with the hazelnut ricotta cream and then crushed hazelnuts at one end and candied orange at the other end. This is a big cannolo and some of the tour took some of their home. Not me. I'm all in for sweets tonight. It was excellent with a crisp shell and a sweet filling. Heavenly.

It wasn't the best cannoli we've ever had, but it was pretty great! We also picked up some arancini which were typical quality arancini.

I must have started to look like a "regular" as the woman who works here began recognizing me as I would come in and begin to scoop up my gelato. It made me laugh! They have plenty of flavors and also have the brioche rolls if gelato on a bun is your thing. As for me, just a small cup of cool deliciousness is all I need to make me happy!

We stopped here this morning for coffee and breakfast before starting our final full day of exploring Palermo. When we walked in and picked our breakfast and coffees, they had us step back outside and choose a table. We chose well. And then our purchase was brought to us. It was not until the end that we asked for a check and paid with credit card at the table. Lovely. My sweet roll stuffed with cheese and ham was delicious. The double espresso was very good and got the "go juice" going. [Review 12834 overall, 149 of 2020.]

The coffee was strong and the view of Teatro Massimo was great :) Will have to try their pastries and their Marocchino coffee next. They have a full service bar in the evenings too. EDIT: Just tried their Marocchino and this is now our favorite espresso drink! This was more of a macchiato with a dash of cocoa on top, which really elevated the espresso without being too sweet. Two marocchinos and a lemon croissant only set us back €5.50. The croissants are huge too
