The Verdict
The Verdict
A’ Siciliana Aranciata is the blood orange soda that makes American orange sodas taste like a compromise. With 226 Amazon reviews averaging 4.7/5, this Sicilian import earns near-universal praise for flavor — the only real friction is the price tag.
“It is imported from Italy and contains REAL Blood Orange juice. It is somewhat similar to the artificially flavored orange sodas you might buy at the supermarket, but WAY better in my opinion.” — Wayne F., verified review
What Buyers Love
The flavor is the headline, and reviewers are specific about why it’s different. Wayne F., who called it “the best orange soda I’ve ever had,” points to the real blood orange juice — a sentiment echoed across the reviews. Jeff, who first tried it at an Italian restaurant and immediately ordered two cases, says “nothing compares to the quality of juice in these drinks. You’ll feel like you are back in Sicily.”
One top reviewer broke down the label for the skeptics: “It’s made with 18% real juice, which is typical for European juice flavored soft drinks, but much more juice than you would typically find in American juice flavored soft drinks. It’s made with real cane sugar, and has about half the amount of sugar in it as a typical soft drink would like a coke.”
It’s also versatile. Beyond drinking it cold, Jeff recommends it as a cocktail mixer, and multiple buyers note it’s refreshingly not-too-sweet — “very tasty drink not too sweet” is a recurring theme.
Where It Falls Short
The price is the one consistent caveat. The same top reviewer who praised the ingredients admitted: “This taste is great but it is too expensive here on amazon for me to order it frequently.” Dave F. gave it 4 stars only “because they are a bit pricey but very delicious. 5 star on flavor for sure.”
That’s worth reading carefully — the complaints aren’t about the drink, they’re about the economics of shipping Italian soda to your door.
Who Should Buy It
Buy it if you love European sodas, miss Sicily, or want a genuinely premium mixer for cocktails. It’s also a standout for anyone who finds mainstream orange sodas too syrupy — the real juice and cane sugar give it a cleaner, more sophisticated profile.
Who Should Skip It
Skip it if you’re on a budget or just mildly curious — the 24-pack is a real investment, and the price-per-can on Amazon is high. If you can find A’ Siciliana locally at an Italian grocer, several reviewers suggest that’s the better deal.
Bottom Line
With 4.7/5 from 226+ Amazon reviews, A’ Siciliana Aranciata is a genuinely premium Italian soda — real blood orange juice, real cane sugar, and flavor that reviewers insist beats the supermarket stuff. The only thing holding it back is the price, so treat it as an occasion drink rather than a daily staple.
