Creamy Decadence Served With a Smile
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

There's a full menu of salads, pasta, pizza and sandwiches. The portions are huge and can easily be shared by three people. Get a big bowl of rigatoni in the homemade marinara (laced with fennel seed) and top it with a side of meatballssome of the best in town. The handmade gelato is densely creamy and soft. There's no chocolate-covered waffle cones or sprinkles. This gelato doesn't need dressing up. The chocolate hazelnut is wonderfully authentic. The vanilla with lemon is amazing. The cappuccino is so rich with coffee buzz it's almost black. Every scoop of the pear ice sings with perfect, lightly sweet pear flavor. The coffee is fabulous--try a shot of espresso poured over a scoop of gelato. Yum.

Pros: Authentic Gelato, Friendly Service

Cons: Busy, Cash only
