bars are another topic ;-)
A bar can be almost everything, some are offering long lists of cooked
stuff for lunch (1st and second course, dessert), others only offer some
sandwich or even only fried potatoe chips and peanuts. The only thing you
can be quite sure is that they all offer croissant for breakfast, and
espresso / capuccino / caffè latte, soft drinks and alcoholics. Some also
sell lottery tickets, stamps, public transport tickets and tobacco (and
allow you to pay your "home bills" like electricity and water). They hardly
ever sell newspapers, and the newsagents won't typically sell lottery
tickets, stamps, public transport tickets or tobacco.
The main difference between a restaurant and a bar is that in the bar
you'll pay typically in advance (for whatever), while there might be
service to bring your food (especially if you have to wait). Also
restaurants won't offer any of the additional services described above
(tickets etc.).

Actually I have never tagged amenity=cafe, cuisine=ice_cream in Italy (but
in Germany I did), because the typology here is different. (traditional,
artisanal) ice cream is seen as a subproduct of pastry (pasticceria,
de:Konditorei) and being relatively cheap (you can get a nice serving for
1,50EUR) people eat it a lot on the go (after lunch/dinner), while in
Germany it is mostly seen as something either industrial or Italian (i.e.
country specific specialty) ;-)
