Bar Gelateria Cavalluccio Marino In Balestrate

How rarely one encounters true mastery in any art. Cavalluccio Marino Gelateria is gelato mastery. This ranks first of all gelato makers in the world. I put him on par with sushi masters in Japan. I have so far tried about 8 flavors, and each one is pure artistry. This is proof that high density tourist areas are not the places to find the very best gelato. After a while those kinds of places decline, because they can sell volumes, even when they are mediocre. They probably become mediocre because of volume. By contrast, this is a place worth traveling to, that preserves a way of doing natural gelato, for no reason at all, besides tradition, family reputation, and expression of genuine genius. I consider it a major life experience, an an honor to have eaten gelato here.

The best coffee of our vacation in Sicily. Thank you.

Huge selection of gelato, great quality! I tasted the actual flavors described. The pistachio tasted like pistachio, the Avola almond I think I've never tasted so good, the black cherry is a timeless classic, and the hazelnut is excellent. I was just passing through, but I'll definitely be back for another try.

Incredibly delicious ice cream. The brioche is excellent, soft, velvety, and with a citrus aroma. The pistachio ice cream is unusual because it's slightly salty. It's hard to visit a place just once :)

Awesome Modica dark chocolate, caramel, and hazelnut. Very reasonable prices.

If you're looking for a sweet experience that leaves a lasting impression, Cavalluccio Marino in Balestrate is the perfect destination. Their artisanal gelato is far from cliché: authentic flavors emerge from every spoonful, without overly sweet or artificial. Flavors like cassata, salted pistachio, and Sacher reflect the soul and tradition of Sicily with flavorful depth. The atmosphere is simple yet refined, familiar, and far from the tourist crowds. The friendly staff, including the owner, contributes to creating a warm, comfortable, and... irresistibly sweet experience. In a town like Balestrate, this gelateria deserves a top spot: quality, honesty, and passion are evident in every choice. A true must-visit for any gelato lover visiting these parts!

The best gelato i have ever had in Italy. No artificial flavours and very little added sugar. must try if you are around. Mini cones ....MUST TRY😛

If you want to try really good, handmade ice cream in a cozy, original atmosphere in Sicily, go here!

Delicious ice cream, handmade and made on site. One of the tastiest on the Island, and certainly the best in town. It is worth going off the beaten track to pamper your taste buds. There is also delicious coffee.

The best ice cream in Balestratte!!! Each flavor has a depth that will satisfy your taste buds! Great price. The 2025 holiday season is theirs! There is a beach access nearby the ice cream shop, which is an additional advantage! Closed on Tuesday!
