Bam Bar
The Cut· research-verified, not yet visited
A Taormina granita bar that's been doing it correctly for forty years: wood counter, no fuss, and the granita is the errand.
A narrow corso bar on Via di Giovanni, two minutes from Piazza IX Aprile. The granitas are textbook: never blended, never refrozen, hand-cranked twice a day. Twelve flavours rotating with the season; mulberry (gelsi) when it appears in June is the order of the year. The brioche col tuppo is fresh from a local bakery. Stand at the bar, order a half-and-half (granita di gelsi e mandorla, the colour of a sunset), and a brioche. Open 7 a.m. till after midnight in summer; closed Mondays the rest of the year (open daily in July and August).
