Belli Freschi Gelati e Granite Artigianali

Recommended to us by a lovely chap we happened to sit next to for lunch. We went half way across Palermo to find it and we were not disappointed. It’s tucked away in a beautiful little courtyard, one of the owners will likely be outside chatting to his customers. You can’t miss it! This is the place to try granita, it will make you go ohh and mmm and look at your partner with that wow look when you taste them. The owners are both about 25 and when we went had only been open for 3 weeks. They told us all about how they made the granitas, how important the ingredients are and showed us pictures of where they had sourced them on the island. The fig and pistachio flavour is like your tasting Sicily, all the flavours and sounds of this crazy beautiful island in a single scoop. I can’t remember the names but one of the founders is the mad scientist coming up with all the crazy beautiful flavour combos and the other is the cook! Making them come to life! Together they make an incredible combination! Try the orange blossom and ask them the story of how it came about you won’t be disappointed. I hope they become world famous I really do! A wonderful, wonderful place!

Cute and fresh little place with a terrace that makes absolutely delicious artisanal granitas and ice creams. The strawberry granita was very flavourful and delicious, and the owner’s own creation, a granita with pastacchio, almond, apricot, dates and rose water (the dates and rose watee from Tunisia and the other ingredients from Sicily) was TO DIE FOR. It brought tears to my eyes! An explosion of taste, incredible texture, where the almonds were subtly present, and the right level of sweetness (read: not too much). An experience that I will not forget and will come back for! The owner is obviously passionate and rightfully (but modestly) proud of his work.

What an incredible discovery! We stumbled upon a master ice cream maker in a bar who generously let us taste his amazing ice cream — and we were instantly hooked. The next day, we visited their shop and met the owner. Both he and the ice cream master are clearly passionate about their craft. You can truly taste the result of over 50 years of perfecting their signature brioche. The ice cream is exceptional, and the brioche is out of this world. The owner was SUPER friendly and welcoming. Highly, highly recommend this place — a must-visit for any ice cream lover!

After spending one year touring all of Italy this is Bar none the best gelato & granita we had. Unique flavours, exceptional taste and quality products. Great and kind service. It only sucks that I found this place on my last night in Palermo it’s must!

A true gem in Palermo. The granita is outstanding—especially the mulberry and ricotta combo, my favorite! You can really feel the care and Sicilian tradition in every detail. Family-run, full of heart, and absolutely worth a visit ✨

This place is so good, we came for a second time. So if you find yourself sweltering in the Palermo heat, then this is the oasis you need to cool yourself off and rest your weary legs. They clearly take great care of what they make, and all the flavours are delicious, and are locally sourced and seasonal. It’s only been open for 2 months, so do come and support a local business making the best gelato and granita.

Delicious, fresh gelato! Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They hadn’t been open very long when we went but everything was perfect. Definitely the best place to go for gelato in Palermo!

A gem in Palermo, tried the citrus blend granita with ricotta, orange blossom ice cream and pistachio ice cream (6 out of 5). Best ice I had in Sicily! 🙏
