  • There should be a negative star rating, but what the heck, one star for the adrenaline rush of dining & ditching (not really - didn't take possession). The elaborate decoration on top of the mounded gelato should have tipped me off - it's not selling. In Italy, the most perfect displays of pizza were the worst tasting, but we were never disappointed by the famous gelato shops we sought out. So expectations were high even though the free taste was just so-so. My son and I ordered anyway - I chose a dish the size of a large frozen yogurt, and the older Asian server suggested the smallest size for Hostage Gastronome Jr. - perhaps because we are Asian, and he knew we were in for a nasty surprise? We rounded the corner to the register, and luckily someone else was ahead of us (probably not buying gelato) so that I saw the price sign - $25 for my dish alone! I wasn't in so much shock that I couldn't see the my future as the greatest dupe of all time if I bought this. The horror was too much to bear, so I just turned to H.G. Sr., and said, "Let's walk". He likes to embellish that I started shoving him in the back, but I tried to be nonchalant as cries of "Excuse me!" hit my inwardly cringing back. Then we had to pass a mall cop on a Segway - well, if he came equipped with wheels, why not a radio to alert him to gelato ditchers? I was already justifying that this must happen all the time....$25?!!!....did they mean euros?...no that's going the wrong way and would be even more....just don't turn around... My son ducked into the Apple Store, I thought to elude captivity, but just to check his Facebook and beg for an I-touch. I stilled my racing heart and indignation at the aquarium, taking photos of the darling pufferfish, but there was only one way out.... Luckily the stand is in the middle of a wide, circular area of the Forum Shops, and a group distracted the mall cop by shouting, "Hey, it's Paul Blart!" Well, I don't know why I'm acting like the guilty one...I don't recall being told I was ordering gelato sprinkled with gold flake jimmies. This place would have better luck next to the casino where a drunken gambler could plunk down his winnings on a large gelato instead of a Rolex.
