Yummy, inventive flavors abound at this cool gelato place. Located on the historic pedestrian mall.

It's as close to gelato from Italy as you will get anywhere on this side of the Atlantic. And the employees are there to help you choose which crazy flavor is the right one for you, from goat chees and fig to "john do ya", or chocolate hazelnut. (that's not how it's spelled, but how you say it :)

THE BEST GELATO. So many awesome flavors. You can get a "bambino" size if you are not too hungry.

Thoughtful creative chef who puts her science background to work producing a gelato as fine as any you’d find in Roma but with local twists interspersed among the classics.
