Frisku In Palermo

A good coffee, a good ice cream, a good dessert, you can find everything

Very good ice cream. Large selection of cakes.

A lovely place just steps from the city center, the port, and Palermo's many activities. Attractive location, wide selection of croissants and gelato. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find a place in Palermo where you can find artisanal croissants and other delicious breakfast items, all defrosted and filled with creams and chocolates. A serious flaw for me is passing off a chocolate chip brioche filled with a little ricotta as a genuine baked Iris with artisanal ricotta. If you come looking for it, you won't find it. For €2, you get a brioche with a tuppo filled with a little ricotta, which also tastes sour. How sad!

We've stopped by here a few times to get a cappuccino. The staff is very friendly, the place is well-organized and very clean. The coffee is good, as you'd expect from Italian, and there's a wide selection of ice cream, pastries, other sweets, and more. You should allow yourself some extra time here, as they work with care and attention, not on an assembly line. But it's worth it. Free restrooms are available.

Always great service! Good work guys, thank you!

Friendly, helpful, and everything was so good! Go there!

Positive review for "frisku," a gelateria, pastry shop, and bar located in the port area. After trying and appreciating their gourmet Colomba at Raffaello, I wanted to try their gelato. It's truly delicious, with a wide variety of flavors, both fruity and creamy, the latter very sweet but not cloying. Very generous portions, as you can see from the photo (gelato spilling out of the brioche 😅). Special mention also for the brioche itself, strictly cu tuppu, artisanal, soft, and fragrant. Prices are in line with the quality offered; the medium cup, at €3, might be a bit expensive, but it was large enough and not the typical "medium" size you'd find at a gelateria. In conclusion, it's one of the best gelaterias in the city in my opinion, and it'll definitely be a regular stop for me this summer.

One of the best cannoli I've ever eaten in the almost twenty years I've lived in Palermo...thin and crumbly wafer, sweet and tasty ricotta but light and not at all cloying.

Excellent ice cream and generous portion.

Delightful gelato and even better coffee, one of the best places of this category in Palermo. The staff was really kind and understanding and one of the waiters spoke fluent English. Prices are very difficult to find, but they're not too bad
