We got the hazelnut (nocciola) and pistachio gelato and as a direct back to back comparison to another gelateria, this one was much sweeter and less strong in flavor. It did seem a bit catered to tourists. It was solid.

The cannoli is fresh and very tasty. My first day I had the…read morevanilla and chocolate. My second day I had the ricotta and hazelnut. These are freshly made and presented to you personally. It's not cannoli waiting on a shelf all day. When I return to Taormina this is where I will go ... no other place will satisfy.

This was the best cannoli I've ever tasted. It's a second generation family owned business that…read moreimo, has perfected the cannoli. A lot of cannoli are over sugared, covering the ricotta. 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!

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.

Bam Bar is an absolute MUST when visiting Taormina!…read more Quite simply, the best granita in the galaxy! Everything we tried was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the whole experience was so much fun. The atmosphere is colorful, lively, and full of Sicilian charm, and it's the kind of place that instantly puts you in a good mood. If you're in Taormina, do not leave without stopping at Bam Bar for a granita (and brioche!). It was one of our favorite stops in Sicily and a place we'll absolutely return to. Highly, highly recommended!

Visited Da Cristina while in Taormina -- because you can't come to Sicily and not have arancini…read more The setup is very casual with fast ordering, though expect a long wait (worth it). Service was efficient despite the crowds. We tried the prosciutto and cheese arancini, and honestly, it was the first time I truly enjoyed one -- the cheese and prosciutto melted together perfectly, with great texture and flavor. Overall, a classic Taormina stop and definitely worth a visit. Saluti
