| - Clean, friendly, aesthetically pleasing, this gelato shop definitely hit the mark for me.
It was quite busy for a Monday night, and only two staff members were on at the time, but they handled it well with smiles on their face, and were the epitome of patience.
My partner and I decided to share three macaroons, and got a small cup of gelato each. I enjoyed all three flavors of macaroons that we got - the vanilla being my favorite, oddly enough (I usually find vanilla plain), with the somewhat tart raspberry and very nutty pistachio coming in a close second and third, respectively.
I also enjoyed the stracciatella gelato very much, but I LOVED the amarena. I haven't had amarena since I was a teenager, living in Italy. It was everything I remembered and loved about it. Creamy, with the ribbon swirl of cherry purée and the whole amarena cherries went perfectly with the cram and chocolate shavings of the stracciatella.
Side note, my partner asked for two cups of water when we got out gelato (at the end of the experience), and the lady at the counter didn't even miss a beat, got the water with a smile, and politely moved into the next guest. Stellar customer service.
I also recommend eating on the patio, right on the Promenade, at night this time of year. It's beautiful, and a fun environment.
