Bam Bar

This classic can't be missed: its façade is covered in colorful ceramic tiles made in Caltagirone. It's mobbed during the day, so best come for a sweet breakfast of granita (served with a brioche) and cappuccino. It's situated on a lovely corner, so in the morning, it's fun to watch the locals shop and restaurant owners prepare for the days (deliveries are made pre-tourist arrival).

Indagare Tip: This is not on the menu but you can order the granita in "piccola" size, in case you can't stomach the idea of starting the day with a large shaved ice. The classic flavor for the a.m. granita is, of course, caffè. But you can also get two flavors and add the local almonds into the mix. And don't refuse the whipped cream that goes on top. It makes the entire thing come together.
