1. Make the syrup: combine the water, sugar and lemon juice in a pot and bring to a boil. Stir and simmer until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let cool completely.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
3. Separate the kataifi strands with your hands and place them in a large bowl.
4. Pour the melted butter over the kataifi and toss until evenly coated.
5. Spread the kataifi in an even layer in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
6. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until deep golden brown and crisp.
7. While still hot from the oven, pour the cooled syrup evenly over the top and sprinkle with the cinnamon.
8. Let the kataifi cool completely.
9. To assemble, spoon some cooled kataifi into serving glasses or bowls, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Serve immediately.
