The chocolate gelato I had tasted like hard candy drop chocolate from a tin.
I'm in Italy once or twice a year, and a rich dark chocolate gelato is the ultimate creamy, rich, ultra-cocoa indulgence. Not only was the chocolate gelato at La Coppa vastly inferior to anything I've had there (you could not sell this product in Italy - - no-one would buy it) it was an odd flavor, and the unpleasant aftertaste lasted for an hour.
I'm giving two stars because the shop is nice, the display is pretty, and the person behind the counter was really nice, but I would never order anything here again.
