My advise is to take out what ever you are getting and go sit beside the fountain or else you'll be eating outside by the table and shall be charge service fee €4 pp, if I'm correct.

Food wise, this place is fine. It's convenient, fast and easy with lots of space, but I think you…read morecan find fresher and better quality nearby. I came here because I unfortunately needed wifi while in Mondello and this was the first place I came to that didn't give me a crazy look when I asked if they had it. It's also large enough that you can sit unnoticed at a table by yourself using a computer while you snack on a treat (I cringe writing that as it's no way to spend time in a gem of a place like mondello, but sometimes we can only get to a place like mondello if we remain in touch with work by wifi :/). This worked well for about an hour, then suddenly the wifi stopped working and when I asked an employee if it was possible to reset or if they knew what the problem was, they didn't know, so I had to leave at that point. So I wouldn't come here for food or wifi, but the staff was very nice and it is spacious.

The guy serving us was not the happiest. The food did come out in a timely matter. Some foods were prepared, but just needed to be heated up. I had a chocolate and cookie gelato. The portion was substantial and both flavors were solid, no complaints really. It was creamy and delicate. Will I go back? Sure.

This seems to be mainly a dessert place but the food was pretty good too. If you can't decide on desserts, get a tray and try several! There are lots of small treats to try and they're inexpensive. There are several warm food choices, a gelato section in the back, and plenty of seating upstairs. You can order downstairs and they will bring everything upstairs to your table. Some of the staff speak english. This is one of the few places in the neighborhood that was open all day on a Saturday, even during Siesta time. Inexpensive. I got a roast beef and potato plate with bread, tea, and a tray of 5 pastries for €10.70.

So, granita is best in eastern Sicily, but Palermitanos told me that this place is the closest to that style. (And I can confirm that no other granita I've tried in Palermo or rest of Italy have come even close). You could eat gelato here, but you can find great gelato throughout Palermo. The granita here is unreal and you won't find anything close, it's an art here, so I recommend that... I had the Mandorla (almond) and pistachio with whipped cream and brioche (I recommend always getting any form of ice cream with brioche when in Sicily!) and it is life changing. It is this HEAVENLY consistency in between ice and cream and it is simply something you must experience. There is a nice, cozy area to sit and enjoy it next door, so don't be turned off by lack of space in the shop itself. Not so easy to get here though...I once tried to bus from mondello, and none of the bus lines were working so I started the hour long walk...a car pulled over to ask me for directions and I helped him, he then came and found me 15 minutes later and drove me the rest of the way, ha, worth it and a half!
