Tasted like ice cream to me. I was hoping for so much more, having had phenomenal gelato in Europe. After reading all the reviews here, it was a let-down. I tossed my sample spoons and my friend and I duly assuaged our disappointment with a trip to Coldstone. Yum.
I *might* go back to Arlecchino's for another try, if I happen to be in the area and am craving ice cream, and they have hazelnut or lavender/rose petal gelato, and I can find parking. But alas, it probably won't be a special trip.
