    To eat or to admire? You can do both!
    Lisa N.

    This was Ah-amazing! Speedy service! If you're undecided they will help you decide on flavor combinations. We ordered 5 regulars. They were A tad pricy but really it's worth it! They're super refreshing as you come out of Zion's heat and bonus! They are not too sweet. Best combo- chocolate strawberry Next best- mango blueberry Really one flavor or a mix... you'll be satisfied. Yummm

    This place has ridiculous good mango ice. It's perfect after a hike in Zion or just on a hot day, we went two days back to back. Briefly chatted with the owner and she was extremely nice. Honestly its the best mango ice cream I've had outside Italy and in the last place I expected to find it: Utah! What a gem. And they are opening a permanent location, looking forward to going back when I'm back at Zion.

    Got a strawberry ice and it was so cute and perfect. A little pricey for how small it was but the flower shape was cute and the flavor was good. Service was fast and friendly! Plenty of seating outside of Zion outfitters to enjoy it. Perfect on a 100 degree day in Springdale!

    Lemon and guava large ice

    After a long hike in the narrows, desert ice was the perfect treat. We got the large which allows you to have 2 flavors. They layered the 2 flavors and made it look like a rose. We got guava and lemon ice. Both were delicious. Best guava ice that I've had

    The perfect treat to cool off after a fun day in the park. The staff was kind and the service was fast, all from a super cute truck. The ice had an ideal texture and the flavors were spot on--highly recommend mixing lemon and strawberry!

    Delicious. Some of the best shaved ice I've ever had! Don't pass them up.

    Delicious! Best shaved ice I think I've ever had. Don't pass it by! All flavors were so good.

    Yummy almost sorbet type ice cream place. Their menu is simple and refreshing! We got the chocolate flavor, guava, mango, strawberry from the ice options and then we also added the vanilla ice cream option. The vanilla ice cream wasn't really an ice cream though (it does say dairy free) so that could be the reason it tasted a little like play doh (IMO). Regilar size was $5.25 I believe and large was $6.25, add $1 extra for ice cream. Overall was very refreshing and this beautiful Zion day.

    If I could give more that 5 stars I would!! Get the mango flavor it is amazing!!! The people working inside the truck were very kind as well. :)

    I've lived in Philly for 20 years and water ice, or locally pronounced "wooder ice", is treated as an essential for our life, and a crucial part of the calendar from St Patrick's to Halloween. John's Water Ice in S Philly is my hands down favorite, but boy did this delicious recipe make me change my rankings You must go to Zion AND you must have this water ice. Otherwise, I'm sorry

    Theeeeeeee best. Very friendly staff. Can't get enough of the view while you enjoy your shaved ice. We went back the next day before leaving Zion.

I ordered the BBQ salad with aforementioned shredded pork. What a masterpiece of a salad. Plenty of juicy shredded pork, lots of real bacon pieces, mixed greens, cheddar cheese, cabbage, tomatoes and onions in perfect harmony! Pour that BBQ sauce and ranch all over, and you have yourself just the ticket after hiking 7 miles! My hubby snagged the pork verde crepes which he loved too. Check out the pics! MeMe went out of her way to find me a size small t-shirt that is beautifully screenprinted with a design that celebrates both Zion Canyon and MeMe's! Check them out! Unfortunately, it was a tad too big for me but they probably have your size. The meal was very reasonable for Zion/Springdale. We ate at the Red Rock Grill at the Lodge the night before. This meal was superior and half the price. The menu here is creative and unique. I loved this lil café with a lot of clocks, a bit of funk, and a thoroughly engaging owner in MeMe herself!! Go here for a yummy dining adventure when you are sick of the same ole overpriced steak and fish.

One thing to keep in mind is parking. If you arrive after 4:00 PM, parking is free when you go inside and validate it. You'll need to use an app for the validation process. I was dining solo, so I sat at the bar. The bar area is fairly large and can probably accommodate around 10-20 people. They also have a wine cellar, which is a nice feature, and a great selection of Italian favorites. I also appreciated that they were willing to customize drinks. I ordered a mojito made with vodka instead of rum, and the service at the bar was excellent. As I looked around the restaurant, I noticed the serving team was attentive and timely. The entire restaurant was very clean, and there was great attention to detail throughout--not only with the food and presentation, but also behind the bar. The bartender was new, but she was very attentive and accommodating with the changes and requests I made. Watching the kitchen as well, it was clear there was a lot of care and preparation put into every dish. The food looked great, the service was excellent, and the overall experience was wonderful. I recommend reservations. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    I wanted to enjoy Dulivia…read more My wife is Italian & loves bolognese. We are staying at the Springwood Suites in the same parking lot & Dulivia looks beautiful from the outside. I perused Yelp! & saw they have an elk bolognese. Wife wanted to try. I scanned the reviews...the majority opinion seemed to be that the physical space & the view are amazing...the food is good (not great), and the wait staff is lacking. Well, guess what, Yelp!: Yelp! knows what it's talking about. The restaurant itself is gorgeous: clean, luxurious, but not spartan or pretentious. We ordered a draft beer, a glass of wine, an appetizer of assorted Italian bread with olive oil & balsamic. My wife ordered the bolognese & I ordered the fettuccini Alfredo with meatballs. The waiter returned maybe 5 minutes later to let me know that they had to "burp" the keg. I wasn't in a hurry, so I told him to just bring my wife's wine & to bring the beer whenever it was handled. He brought the wine right away. My beer took maybe another 5min: no big deal - I had water & a lovely view to enjoy. Next...the entrees arrived. I asked the runner what happened to our appetizer? He asked what appetizer we had ordered...and returned with a cutting board with 6 slices of bread ($9!). No oil or balsamic. He scampered off as my question "isn't there supposed to be olive oil with this" hung in the air. Annoyed, we began eating our entrees. My wife said the bolognese was far from the best she'd had, but she enjoyed it. As for my Alfredo with meatballs - as chicken meatballs go, these were fine, with a little spicy kick...but were not moist at all. The fettuccini itself was very good - you could taste it despite the rich Alfredo sauce. The Alfredo sauce was above average, but there wasn't nearly enough on the pasta. If I had to guess, it sat under a heat lamp for a few minutes & the fresh fettuccini had absorbed too much of the sauce. The waiter came to check on us. I commented that the bread didn't come as an appetizer...and that I had to ask the runner for it...and that we still didn't have the oil & vinegar to go with it. He seemed crestfallen & said he was going to speak to the manager (or maybe he said owner...not positive). He came back with oil & vinegar. Then a blonde lady with an affected way of speaking came to discuss the Bread Situation. We related what had happened & she apologized. We had a scoop of key lime gelato for dessert - the best tasting thing we had. When the check came, the waiter said "the bread has been taken off your bill...sorry again for that." My wife scanned the bill & replied "no...it's still on here." The waiter took a gander...rolled his eyes...and went to speak with the blonde. He returned & said "I apologize...she says she isn't removing it from your bill. I feel horrible...if you want, I'll pay for the bread." Of course we didn't accept. We settled the bill & left. The decent food just was not worth the lackluster service & prices. Should'a grabbed a pizza & eaten it outside. Live & learn.
