This is what Italians do best....spaghetti and ice. So maybe I got the spaghetti right and we've taken the ice and Americanized it the only way we know best. That pretty much means a lot of sugar and ice cream! YUM! I'm so into it!
So back in the day my favorite was the gelati. It's delicious custard ice cream with Italian ice in the middle and another layer of custard! I'm sure it's the most popular thing they sell. I've moved on the the Misto's, which is the custard and ice mixed together. I love shakes so this is perfect for me! They used to have peanut butter ice, which sounds disgusting but mixed with the chocolate custard it tasted like a Reese's Cup shake! Pure heaven! But as far as I know they don't carry it anymore so I go for the mint choco chip ice and choco custard for another heavenly mix!
I'm so glad they have a place on the North Side, number one because it's close to work and I can get my fix anytime and number two it's open YEAR ROUND! Thank gawd! I get really bitter when the other "seasonal" ones close. Boo! The thing that works out in our favor is that the first day of Spring (their first official day of business) is free Italian ice! You better know that's on my calender. This girl doesn't miss any free food offers!
