| - As a self-professed gelato-holic, I've tried most gelaterie in the city and many in Italy. This is by far the most authentic Italian gelato in Toronto. The owner is from Rome and still has two other locations there.
Their prices are pretty well in line with places in Toronto and you can also order a bucket of the stuff to take home. Decor is modern sleek, very white and silver, and they play popular Italian tunes overhead.
Now on to the ice cream: nocciola (hazelnut) of course is fantastic, as is the pistacchio, cioccolato al peperoncino (chocolate with chili), orange chocolate, and limone. Gelato is made with milk rather than cream and flavoured with real fruit or nuts, so it's much lighter and more flavourful than American-style ice cream. In the summer, the lines are enormous but totally worth the wait. Of course, their business goes down in the winter, but still merits a visit as they serve Nutella crepes and fantastic cappuccino and espresso too!
Finally, this place is extremely addictive...so don't say I didn't warn you!
