Had the Hazelnut & Dark Chocolote Hazelnut & loved it. Silky smooth & delicious. Other delightful flavors include Toasted Almond , Mint Chip & Tiramisu . Didn't find a flavor that I didn't like.

Hands down the dark chocolate hazelnut is the best gelato I've had in the United States .

Bacio . Limoncello . Mandorla. Even the names sound delectable. And those are the regular flavors; for summer, they’ve got watermelon , plum , peach . Don’t you deserve a little taste of la dolce vita?
