Reviews
This is one of the best gelatos I’ve ever had. Made with fresh, blended fruit, you can watch through the window as they craft each batch right before your eyes. It was absolutely outstanding. The lemon flavor in particular was brilliantly tangy — so vibrant and authentic that it felt like biting into a fresh lemon.
