Vorrei gelato, per favore!


I would like some gelato!...and more gelato! Adjusting from ice cream to gelato has been one of easiest and most enjoyable things yet! Gelato is made with milk instead of cream, so I can justify the healthier choice. While many gelaterias are not open during the winter months, a few provide the heavenly product year around. My favorite place in Viterbo is in this beautiful building that sadly used to be a McDonalds. While in Rome this past weekend a small group of us actually went three times in one day to get gelato. (we just had to try out all the local places!)

Some of my great flavors I've found so far are cioccolata, frio di latte, crema, limone, and fragola (strawberry). Most places offer many flavors, both fruity and sweet.

All this talk of gelato has me craving it! See ya!

Just for that we are going to Call Hall without you! Too bad it is a brisk 9 degrees F. here.

Julie, I was only in Italy for 4 days, but probably bought gelato 6 or 7 times! Try the blood orange flavor...it's my favorite. And try some blood oranges themselves - Rome's are excellent! We miss you around Umberger...
