I have been eating a lot of gelato lately. Once a day, twice a day, I eat a gelato. Everyday I try to pick a new flavor.
I only have a few months, so a gelato a day (or more) is necessary.
My favorites so far have been hazelnut, white rice, pistachio, green tea, and coffee.
Such pretty colors! This shop is by the Pantheon. So many flavors to choose from!
What should I choose?!
This is a Ferrero chocolate flavor with straciatella (chocolate flakes and vanilla)
The cookie at the top comes with the ice cream.
I love gelato here because it comes as a full package. You have your 2-3 different flavors, your mini cookie/wafer topper, and whipped cream. Yum!
An umbrella and a glittery firework-pick. It doesn't get much better than that.
The decorations are also great souvenirs.
Hmm...pistachio and hazelnut ("nocciola" in Italian)
This was my Mom's cone. The light orange flavor was super spicy - it was Crema di Habanero. It was an explosion of hotness! I think habanero is one of the hottest peppers out there. For the brave!
The deep orange tasted like an actual pepper. Weird!
Anyhoo, I hope I leave you with one message: Try different flavors! I stuck with hazelnut for awhile, but now I'm glad that I am branching out. You might not like all of flavors, but you are guaranteed to find some delicious ones.
I approve of your life choices! :) Glad to hear the coffee gelato you tried was up to par.
ReplyDeleteYes, you will definitely enjoy the ice cream when you visit. I just tried a coffee at a place called Blue Ice and it was really yummy.
Deletehabanero???? that just sounds crazy and i really want to try it!
ReplyDeleteYa! I think you would like it. I know that your mom and Carlos would go crazy for it! You have to visit and try a few!
