Don Peppinu In Giardini-naxos

Le meilleur glacier de la ville, un service poli, de belles portions et des glaces inoubliables aux parfums de la Sicile

BEST mango gelato i’ve ever had, and i’ve had a lot in Italy…. So fresh you can see and taste the mango pump, unlike the artificial flavours

Super delicious ice cream, eccezionale!!! 😋

when I was little after school I went with my grandfather to Antillo and he always took me to buy sweets or ice cream from Don Egidio, 1 year ago while I was walking in the gardens with my family I read the bar sign and I remembered when As a child I went with my grandfather and I wanted to return with my family. Very nice area and very fast and helpful service and the ice creams were as good as I remembered. I will return as soon as I have the chance!

Spectacular granites really taste like nature

I would like to point out that this story narrates events that actually happened: Dearest Don Egidio, perhaps you don't even know who we are, sometimes sincere glances escape in the crowds. When my friend and I saw his name on the sign it was love at first sight, after being shipwrecked among tasteless creams and colorful fruits, his shop seemed like light to us. It was like this, that in a turbulent summer his ice creams offered refreshment and comfort to our souls, afflicted by an unscrupulous market. If she knew the greatness of the gift she offered us, the goodness of her works! Unfortunately, taken by the desire to travel around the island, we had to move away, but we swear to you, Don Egidio, that not a day went by without us thinking about you, about when we would return, about what flavors we would try. "At least 4 flavors!" we said to each other, "We will skip dinner, to pay the right homage to our divinity" we sang happily. The days passed between a cove and a river and since our meeting, no ice cream has ever stood up to the comparison and it is difficult to describe them in words, such a disappointment. The day before our return, we talked only about her, fantasizing about the flavours, developing strategies to improve the tasting: "the cone is certainly very good, but it makes the poetry of the ice cream a little too hasty. Maybe it's the cup, the most suitable choice to respect the breaks between tastings? Would it be better to have a cup of 4 flavors or two cups of 2?". We were full of doubts, Don Egidio, as excited as we were at the altar. Then there was an unfinished business with her chocolate cream, during our first date it hadn't been possible to try it, but today, the day of the meeting, we were ready to fight for her! We would have gotten his chocolate cream no matter what! "I will speak personally with Don Egidio! and he will understand or I will draw my sword." In short, here we are, Don Egidio, at the surrender of the "cones": it was August 22nd in 2024, my friend and I defeated the 7 dragons in the parking lots of the Giardini Naxos palace and paid the duty to enter his kingdom. Despair descended on our faces when our latest challenge was erected in front of his door: the evil sign reading "Closed on August 22nd". We returned home Don Egidio, defeated, hungry and overwhelmed, our carriage left on the 23rd, so we left with only ice and bitterness in our hearts, but with clear eyes, dreaming that perhaps, one day, we would meet again, who knows.

One of the best I've ever tried in my life

In my opinion one of the best ice cream shops in the world. Any flavor is worth trying. We ordered lemon and chocolate granita with cream. Exquisite!

Excellent ice cream, very kind staff.

Ci siamo fermati in questa gelateria per fare colazione con granita e brioches. Personalmente ho preso una granita pistacchio e caffè con panna, buonissima! Il pistacchio ottimo, e la panna freschissima. Il personale cordiale e gentilissimo. La consiglio!
