Love the history on granita! I had no idea it didn't come from the Italians! My favorite is lemon. 😊

[@jodidelucca4190]

I do love granite for breakfast. BUT kiwi granite with a glass of Prosecco for an aperitivo is delicious together!!! 🎉🍧🍾

[@YouMeandSicily]

Oh wow that sounds amazing!

Good morning from East Texas!

[@jamesingram7203]

The problem is that you can never decide on which one is best. And I would love the flavor combinations.

[@YouMeandSicily]

Fig was great !

What a great video and unique tourist experience.

[@YouMeandSicily]

Grazie!

[@janetlombardi2314]

Hi guy's thanks for sharing your video. Granita has never appealed to me. A very kind Scicilian bought me one in San Vito, and we were both of the opinion that they are far too sweet, so not to my palate. Give me an ice cream any time. You can't beat the Italian gelato 😊 Much love ❤

[@YouMeandSicily]

Try granita pistachio or almond in the Catania area. I promise a different experience.

[@janetlombardi2314]

@@YouMeandSicily I will definitely, Thank you 😊

Hello this is Silvio. I'm Sicilian from Catania.
It's obvious you dislike granita and guess why? Cause you never tasted it.
On west Sicily can make granita but just grated ice. Let eat it to them 😁
If you try to taste that onr original (the best is in Acireale, but pretty much even in all Catania province) as soon as you put it in your mouth you'll find out a soft staff (like ice cream, although is different) and..... you'll get in heaven.
If next time you'll come here, conceive me the pleasure of to buy it for you, taste it and, at last make a ranking .
Trust me!!
