Description
Inside the clean, contemporary shop, the presentation leans towards an Americanized ice cream setup rather than a traditional Italian storefront—gelato is stored in plastic tubs and scooped rather than served with spatulas. The menu is crafted with pure ingredients, yielding flavors like amaretto crunch, hazelnut, pistachio, and a true dark chocolate. While the sorbets are noted for being on the icier side, the gelato itself is favored for its quality. The business also runs staffed mobile gelato carts and catering for private events.
