| - Such a lovely little find on Walnut Street! Gleaming glass displays of gelatos await as you stroll through the door...it looks like a painter's palette of deliciousness all ready for sampling. So sample away! Friendly servers/scoopers are generous with tiny silver spoons laden with whatever temptation tickles your curious gelato fancy. The staff is so friendly and helpful!
After extensive sampling, I chose Blackberry Merlot for my first scoop and the totally decadent Dark Chocolate Salted Caramel. Rich, smooth, cold, creamy luscious frozen cream teeming with flavors that made me swoon with happiness. Bravissimo!
Oh, and lest you think Mercurio's is for sweets only, the pizzas, salads and other treats are authentic Italian masterpieces, as well! The pizzas, straight from the brick oven imported from Italy, were gorgeous! Word is (that old gluten devil prevented me from sampling the pizzas) the flavors matched the beauty of the crusts and toppings. Speaking of toppings....Mercurios makes their own mozzarella!!!!! Wow.
That gluten issue regarding pizza at Mercurios may soon be a thing of the past. Linda Mercurio's husband (Dr. Mercurio!) is diligently working on a gluten-free crust! Once he has perfected it, gluten-free pizza will be on the menu and I, for one, cannot wait!
