Toronto, Canada. The weather was freezing (according to my world) so our party of 3 concentrated on finding restaurants that were close to our hotel. We stopped for a couple of pizzas and wanted to check out the gelato. Where I come from, there is no gelato, only gelato imposters. I travel to Rochester, N.Y. for my gelato. (At least that's my excuse to go there.). So of course, I am now on a quest to find other places that might have great gelato too.
The pizza was good-- thin crust, good combinations of toppings. You won't be disappointed. But, the gelato somewhat surprised me. It was really silky and the flavors were very sophisticated--blueberry lavender, rose water, London Fog (Earl Grey), and some standards (unfortunately no pistachio). The rose water was pretty subtle, but I didn't order it because I have to really be in the mood to eat anything "rose". If you like rose flavored desserts, you will love this gelato. I fell in love with the London Fog! I'm assuming that it is the bergamot flavor that I am talking about. I'm not a fan of Earl Grey tea so I had to look up what this tea was all about. Every gelato place needs to have this flavor on their menu.! It is now my favorite gelato flavor! The texture of this gelato just misses that level of gooeyness that I look for. It is so very close! I'm thinking that this is probably one of the better places for gelato in Toronto. The best part was that we could walk our gelato back to our hotel without worrying about any melting!
