Located on Tamanyan Street right at the base of the iconic architectural monument, Sorriso Cascade is one of Yerevan’s most popular cafes. While other places might look dark or modern, Sorriso—which means "Smile" in Italian—is bright, sunny, and feels like a classic European terrace.
It is famous for its outdoor seating, where you can relax with a great view of the Cascade’s beautiful statues and fountains. The atmosphere is warm and perfect for families. It feels like summer all year round, filled with bright colors and the sound of people enjoying ice cream.
Since 2012, Sorriso has been known for bringing authentic Italian gelato to Armenia. It is the perfect spot to grab a quick coffee after a walk or to sit down for a long, relaxing breakfast. If you want comfort, charm, and a taste of Italy in the heart of Yerevan, this is the place to be.
Why Visit?
