You have to pay extra for the gluten-free, but it was great. Service was reasonable, but nothing special. The location is great for sitting and people-watching.

I don't care that (sometimes) I had to wait in a line. I don't care that it was too crowded. I…read moredon't care that the service wasn't the best (although relatively quick). This is a must-visit spot in Taormina. I believe Bam Bar is absolutely WORTH THE HYPE. Not because you feel as though you're in a filming location of "The White Lotus" (which you are), but because I whole-heartedly believe their granita is some of the best in Sicily. So creamy. So flavorful. I'm typically not a fan of whipped cream, but their "Crema" (basically whipped cream) on top was so soft and sweet that it'd be a crime to not have it added to your granita (for no additional charge). I went twice in one day, and both times I got a combination of Strawberry and Nutella with "Crema" on top (you must ask for this) and with a Brioche (to dip into the granita, of course). Add Bam Bar to your Sicilian itinerary.

Definitely worth getting dirty! The nice older woman, probably her place, suggested we wait five minutes for the new pizza that would be coming out of the oven. We did and we're so happy!

It's a great bread shop, with delicious brioche, chocolate chip loaves, as well as bread and rolls for sandwiches and more. They also have a small selection of meats and cheeses, so you can order a sandwich instead of purchasing tiny amounts of all of the ingredients separately. There's also arancini and pizza during lunch, and the slices are generously sized!

The young guy who was working there was super with fast and efficient service. He informed us that…read morethey fill all of their cannolis fresh and he let my friend, a vlogger, record him preparing our cannolis. The cannolis were simply exquisite. Crunchy on the outside with the perfect cookie shell, and creamy on the inside with the ricotta filling. The shop is located behind the main tourist walk of Taormina and it's easy to miss. It also doesn't look like much and there is only enough room for maybe four customers to stand inside of the shop comfortably. There are some chairs on the pedestrian walkway outside of the shop but the shop seems to be designed to grab your cannoli and go.

Here the ricotta is the start. What makes it unique is that it comes in fresh, every day and it's still hot. They're really only good for 24hours. And man are they good. The ambiance is cool as well. The service was excellent. This is the cannoli I will always dream about and bring up every time I have cannoli. Perfecto!
