With a review score so high, I had to try it out. I'm so glad I did - delicious. We ordered a few small cups with two flavors in each. It's an absolute great treat on these hot days 😍.  It is a very small store front, with just enough room for people to order. I was expecting a rather large line but just walked right up - perfect. The service was great, and we were quickly on our way - no seating available. Don't miss this place as you walk along the main street. Thanks.

Best ice cream I found in Italy!
Never knew chocolate ice cream could taste so good. Please note that I am not a chocolate fan, but this was something else.
We shared a cup with 3 flavours because it was a hot day and wanted a small and quick refresh, but they were so good we went back to try more flavours😂

My husband and I had the most amazing deserts ever! We got the ice cream cannolis which were incredible. We decided we need to come back for more stuff to try after our short stroll. We then got the brioche which was generously filled with the creamiest pistachio gelato, a 10/10. The owners Silviana and Dani were so welcoming and nice. They made our whole experience so enjoyable! Thank you!

No doubt the best pistachio ice cream with a few varieties: chocolate pistachio or Etna ( pistachio with sour cherries). Just a few steps from Cefalu Catedral.

The place looked great, but the gelato didn’t taste like gelato - more like regular milk ice cream. Very disappointing. At least it looks nice in the picture ;) It also melts super fast, unlike other gelatos we’ve had.
