This is a wonderful little dessert shop just next to the Chiesa di Santa Lucia alla badia, so if…read moreyou are in Palazzo Arcivescovile you can't miss it! 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 were on our way back to our B&B in Siracusa from Ortigia Island. 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.

Omg we love this place!!! The food is fantastic! I've had the pesto genovese, and the gnocchi and…read moreoh my goodness both so delicious! I highly recommend the gnocchi, it was even amazing cold the next day. The portions are quite large, so great for having leftovers. The gelato is some of the best I've had, (pistachio and vanilla!) and we always have great, friendly service. I think they know us now haha. You can sit outside, and limited inside space. The caffe also has WiFi! Which is very important when you're studying abroad let me tell you. My friend had the burger though and did not like it, so stick to Italian food and you will be happy. HUGE dessert selection, and there is even fresh fruit! Everything is quite reasonably priced.

I almost walked past this place, I wasnt sure if I wanted an ice cream but after much hesitation…read moreand coaching from friends back in Amsterdam I gave in... I was actually shocked how amazing their ice creams looked, they had some of the most amazing flavours I've seen so far in Sicily. Sure it's not like Baskin & Robbins with 101 different flavours but everyone looked wonderful. I went with a large cup (€3.50) wasn't the most expensive and I could have gotten a larger cup but decided to save some room for dinner. I went with chocolate, strawberry and coconut and it was simple epic. I did think about the cheesecake option but stuck to my choices... Drop by here and grab an ice cream if you are in the area for sure

Perhaps serving popsicles is best done by a friendly person who is more suctioned service oriented…read more The lady at the counter looked at me and my partner murderously, as we politely asked for popsicles. She slapped them in our hands and looked like she didn't want anything to do with us. I got the feeling that my partner was even more pissed than me after this experience. Amazing icecream, bad service.

The real value proposition, however, is when you're walking around early in the morning, and need to get your granita/coffee fix - there are a couple of small tables in the shade outside where you can sit and watch the piazza, in chill. Enjoy!
