    I thought the tiramisu gelato on the waffle cone not only was tasty but a generous amount of the creamy dessert was impressive. I would recommend this sweet concoction. Eat away! It was quite airy with no other customers. Thinking it was near closing time when I visited. They had a couple of flat screen TVs with the same NBA basketball game being televised.

    Nervoso waffle

    Food: 4 Stars Service: 3 Stars Ambience: 3 Stars Fill Factor: Satisfied I am rarely in Little Italy but for some reason this year I decided to check out the Taste of Little Italy and while walking around had a craving for some sweets so dropped in this place. The menu consists of ice cream, waffles, crepes, sandwiches and my favourite milkshake among other things. I immediately gravitated towards the waffles and milkshake naturally. I ended up ordering the Nervoso waffle (espresso ice cream, chocolate chips and chocolate sauce) as well as a canoli milkshake. The espresso ice cream was great with a nice coffee taste and the waffle was fluffy and soft. I didn't find the waffle to be overly sweet as well which is great in my book. As for the milkshake, there were chunks of canoli in there which I wasn't really expecting as I thought the canoli would be ground down to much smaller pieces. The taste was just like a vanilla milkshake so I am not sure if it was worth it to order this instead of just a regular milkshake. I probably would not order this again. In terms of service, it was fairly busy when I was there due to the festival so I found the service to be ok but nothing amazing. I was on the patio which had a lot of seating and was really nice to be on a hot summer day. Overall I had a nice experience here at Sicilian Cafe. I enjoyed the ice cream waffle though I did find things a tad on the pricier side but despite that would definitely return.

    Really good coffee, and nice servers, foods always been good and the desserts are really what shines. But if you have somewhere to be and you're looking for a quick dine in -- doesn't matter how empty and slow it is inside it'll take forever to get your bill.

    Sicilian & Spanish coffees. Spumoni ice cream.

    We stopped in late afternoon for a Sicilian & Spanish coffee. Quiet, clean & empty this time of day. Couldn't resist a scoop of spumoni ice cream. Definitely recommend all three. Service was quick and friendly. Would absolutely return.

    This was such a cool find in Toronto. Gotta say it was the worth the 30 minute walk I took lol. When we first came in, there was no host but the waitress told us to sit anywhere we like. One guest wanted an order super specific and I thought perhaps maybe the restaurant wouldn't be able to accommodate it but to my surprise, they did. It also came out pretty fast as well. I'm surprised that with the size of the food - it didn't have to take long. I ordered a Nervoso crepe and oh my god...it was huge lol. I just wanted a small dessert after I had poutine (earlier) and didn't expect a massive crepe right infront of me. Regardless, I finished it and every bite was delicious. The server was attentive and such a pleasure to have around.

    I always IN for sweet and staying out late on a Saturday night! After having Japanese sushi, we looking for a place for a night Cap and my date suggested going to Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe for some crepes! She really knows how I roll! Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe is not one of those girly Cafe... Nothing Girly with Leaf's Game showing on TV (aside from the Leaf's being girly and they suck big time..?? that's a different story!) Freshly made Crepes/Waffles seems to be the most popular thing on the menu... So we decided to share a ice cream crepes... that was so yummy... but the tiramisu was one of the worst and the driest one I ever have! SKIP the cake!! Order anything else but that!! I have to give credit for Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe to stay open till 3 AM on Friday and Saturday night... What's better to have one of those crepes after a whole night of drinking?

    Bruschetta
    Michelle D.

    Come for the cannoli and not for the bruschetta. On a rainy Saturday, there was plenty of tables available in the afternoon. The desserts looked delicious so we ordered the original and hazelnut cannoli and since we wanted something salty to go with it, we also ordered the bruschetta. The bruschetta were disappointing. It tasted like a mild chunky salsa over toast. It looked nice, but I could have made that taste better for a cheaper price. The cannoli were delicious and pretty big. The original was good but I really liked the hazelnut spread in the hazelnut cannoli. Overall, the service was patient and friendly, the cannoli were delicious, but the bruschetta was a real bummer. If I ever return, I would want to try their crepes because they looked

    Buying icecream to go......

    They should get perfect stars because there icecream is that good and priced great why don't they get perfect stars .it's because of the bad service they seem angry Like if you walk in there your making them work . It's been like this for years . There icecream can be found all over the GTA at most bakeries and high end stores . Bad energy always from staff . If all care about is tips work on your attitude .

    I've been to Sicilian Sidewalk café plenty of times and I really like it! I find the prices to be reasonable, the food and the portions are great, the coffee drinks are very enjoyable and the staff is always friendly. I never felt rushed at this café; it's always comfortable and fun. I also love their big menu and the variety of food, desserts, and drinks! Every time I visit this café I've only seen one server for the entire place (I've been there during the mornings only) and when it gets a tad bit packed the service can get slow. I see people at the cafe a bit upset with the slow service, but what can the server do? There is only one person for the entire place, that person can't serve 10 people at once. The place needs more waiters/waitresses! I've only had one bad experience at Sicilian Sidewalk Café which was that my water glass was not cleaned properly, it had a funky smell and it totally grossed me out. Despite that, I gave this place another shot and had a yummy and clean experience. I plan to enjoy this café again!

    Tanti Baci crepe
    Tanya N.

    *3.5 stars* This is my go to place when my friends and I are craving crepes/waffles when in Little Italy. Prices are reasonable- I think it was roughly $8 for a waffle and $7 for a crepe and the portions are large. There's a wide selection of desserts so you may end up mulling over the menu for awhile. It's a cute, old school mom and pop cafe feel to it which is a nice contrast to other places that go for the stark white or dark espresso wood decor. I chose the Tanti Baci crepe which is a crepe with 2 large scoops of bacio ice cream, nutella and hazelnut inside. Delicious. I also had the Americano which I left unfinished. Halfway through, I found it to be bitter. Meh...maybe I'll just stick to the desserts next time.

    This is my default place to come for dessert if I happen be in the area. The gelato ice cream is excellent and the choices are pretty good.

It was refreshing and the melon were fresh. I'm not a big fan in the end, but still good. My girlfriend took mango cheesecake one and she really liked it. There's is also drink and many from current or past scent like ive concert and BTS. I would like to try one of their drink next. As for the size, you can get them in cup or bowl. The bowl are huge, easily shareable by 2 to 4 person.

We tried the mango bingsu and the beargato which was…read morebasically affogato poured on a bear and I am editing this review to add a few things around the taste... So the bear itself in the affogato was a solid icy chunk of milk (coz we chose the milk flavour) that just frozen. We added the affogato on top of it and while it looked aesthetic, the dessert didn't make sense at all. We were unable to break the frozen chunk or be able to mix it with the coffee and the coffee mixed with that frozen chunk submerged tasted really bad. Paying $16 for that wasn't worth it at all. The bingsu was good though. We got the mango bingsu bowl and it came loaded with mangoes and a marshmallow and an oreo cookie to make it look pretty! I don't think I'd come back to try anything else here. Was a little disappointed.

    One of the only places to get Late-Night dessert! Holy Choco stays open till 4 AM which means you…read morecan satisfy your sweet tooth at (almost) any hour of the day Their menu is HUGE and unfortunately has some steep pricing, but the food quality is excellent. Delicious desserts, waffles ice cream, smoothies, and more. We ordered: Medium Mango Smoothie - $7.95 Simple Pleasures Waffle - $15.50 The waffle was light and fluffy and the toppings of fruit and chocolate were a great combination. I requested to be lighter on the chocolate but there was still a LOT of chocolate on our waffle. The mango smoothie was refreshing and sweet. I started going to Holy Choco when they first opened and their service was really good from some of the owner. Super attentive and caring staff. Unfortunately, it's since gone downhill since they've hired new staff and we had a number of small problems when visiting this time (dirty tables, dirty cutlery, requested if our food could be put in to go containers because they didn't want to do dishes, unfriendly, etc.) I hope they improve upon these staffing issues soon. Their seating area is good for friends and groups to loiter. Also, if you plan on bringing a laptop, they have MANY OUTLETS!!

    Holy heck this dessert spot by Wellington Station was amazing…read more Highly recommend the dessert wheel ("Fondue for 2-3" $29.99). We chose dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and Nutella. For items: we chose strawberry, banana, halal marshmallow, waffle bites, brownie bites, and Oreo with a round of cappuccino's ($5.50 each). The interior is nicely decorated with a cute angel photo op in the back, and window bar seats and couches to choose from. Great spot for 2-4 people. The only criticism I could have was it took a while to get our order. So, it's not one of those places you can be dipping into expecting to be done in 20mins! We stayed for nearly 3 hours and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
