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.

Pasticceria Irrera is considered by many to make the best cannoli in the world, and I would proudly agree with that. I literally got teary as I took my first bite. Just a word to the wise, though... Eat the treats fairly soon. Everything made from scratch also means no preservatives, so by the next night, not as amazing. But fresh out of the display case? It's a religious experience.

The consistency of the gelato was creamy and melts in your mouth! Each flavor is true to its name and are very rich and flavorful.
