Siciliansk Is

The concept is easy and forward. You get high quality Italian ice cream in cups or cones. Choose between 3 different sizes; small, medium, and large. You can get maximum 3 flavours.
The ice is of high quality, and you can really taste the good raw materials used. The flavours are inspired by the great Italian island Sicily.
You can by the ice cream at a small counter in Kølster 12 haner. The small counter with only about 10 flavour, and bad cooling capacity is why I can’t give more than 4 stars.
If you want a bigger batch of ice cream, you can also buy that.

Badly in need of something cool and refreshing, Siciliansk Is sat across from the restaurant I was at beckoning us to come over after dinner. Sicilian gelato? What? We’d be stupid to pass this up. Going in, you notice the vibe is very much the same as gelaterias in Italia and Europe, except you’re in Copenhagen and the fact that they have licorice ice cream reminds you you are in Scandinavia. But first, I had to try the almond and pistachio. If you were to witness perfection in an ice cream flavor, these two would send you to heaven and back. It did me. It doesn’t get any better, the simplicity of flavor is present yet addicting. I’ve had pistachio and almond in the North and South of Italy and know these flavors very well. The almond and pistachio were on point and authentic. Came back to try these separately.
So, on a whim I had a taste of the licorice and immediately knew I had to have it right then and right away. I always thought there’s no way I’d enjoy licorice, only Scandinavians have a taste for them. As a visitor, I am in love of this flavor and this flavor made here. Since I had a choice of two flavors, I opted for ½ licorice and ½ Zuppa Inglese because I thought these 2 would dance well together in my cup… And that, they did.
A taste of the licorice ice cream gave me a taste of brown sugar, malt, bitter anise, honey, cream, salt, sweet, beer, and a touch more bitter but in such a developed combination that I froze for a minute to appreciate. To add to that, the tiny specks of licorice, of the finest variety, added that chew to the gelato that made me gasp it was sooooo good. After this experience, I opine that Siciliansk’s profound licorice gelato is better than Paradis’ (the other ice cream place I love that serves licorice). Contrasted this flavor with their finely made Zuppa Inglese, I found a taste discovery never experienced, perhaps a new favorite combo.
Finally, I like to wait until gelato melts as the final gauge to the quality, cream and purity. When both gelati melted the licorice with the Zuppa Inglese was perhaps the most memorably delicious combo I’ve had. Can’t have this anywhere. I guess I’d have to wait until I get back to experience this again.
To be repeated. Will be back to try other flavors.
Flavors:
Licorice 5 ++stars
Almond 5 stars
Zuppa Inglese 5 stars
Pistachio 5 stars.
Visits: 2
Tip: They run out of flavors, (almost missed out on the almond) towards dinner time 5−6pm so best to get your ass there earlier. They give tasters.

The licorice ice cream in itself deserves five stars! And I’m not even that fond of licorice! Combined with sour, but sweet raspberry ice cream and rich chocolate ice cream, it was almost too yummy.
Situated in Kølsters Tolv Haner in Rantzausgade, Siciliansk Is was a welcoming site on a sunny spring day, spent biking around at random in Nørrebro. Seemed like more people had the same idea as me, so there was a small line. Doesn’t matter, cause the delicious Sicilian ice cream is worth the wait.
The deal is; you always get three flavours, regardless of what size of cup or cone you choose. I chose the small one for 25 kr and got a decent amount of each chosen flavour. You are, of course, allowed to buy bigger sizes.
What’s lovely about the shared location with Kølsters Tolv Haner, is that you can sit on their outside benches and bask in the sun (if you’re so lucky in the Danish summer).
