Oh my. Oh my oh my.

Those photos are bordering on pornographic.

Now I *need* ice cream. As in needing food, shelter, a sense of community, mental stimulation and ice-cream – that kind of basic level of need. But I think I’d put ice-cream before all those things, right now.

When I was in Rome in May, to my excruciating shame…..I didn’t have any gelato. Not a single scoop.
*hangs head*
So that’s one of the reasons I’m going back, ASAP.

He he… I’m pretty sure that when needs aren’t met, people go crazy. It isn’t just for your good, Mike, but for the good of those around you. And, btw – I can’t believe you didn’t have gelato in Rome. WHAT DID YOU DO??

Ooh, I love gelato. I can never choose between spagnola and coconut so I always end up with one scoop of each!!!

Two of my favorites, as well, though I’ve never had them together … YET!

I want some of that gelato right now! I would never get tired of that!

I hear you! I don’t get tired of it, either!

I think gelato is one of my all-time favorite treats. Oh and guess what my husband and I just made the decision that we’re going to Europe for two weeks next summer including Italy. I may actually get to take you up on that free night that I won way back when!!

Yea, yea, yea … I will definitely take you to Marrons Glacès when you get here!

Wow, nice to see someone found an article of mine about ordering gelato in Italy! My favorite flavors, in no particular order, are – amarena, caramello, cioccolato fondente, lampone, and cioccolato all’arancia. My biggest dilemma is that some of the flavors I love are odd, like liquirizia, and so therefore are hard to pair with a second scoop. My fallback for those is usually fior di latte. And now I might have to dig into my homemade strawberry & peach gelati for dinner… It’s 100F here today, who could think of cooking??

Oh yes. It came in handy. I went back to Marrons Glaces this weekend and I noticed they DO have liquirizia. Who knew??

Between you and Michelle, I need to take myself out to gelato very soon. Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Yes you do! Maybe you can write about a gelateria in NYC for us!

I am proud to be royalty whenever it comes to gelato!! Fall back flavor…rather the barometer for measuring success of a gelateria is pistacchio…which I never ate before living here in Italy. Also great: Bacio, Mango, anything with crunch! (I miss DQ Blizzards, what can I say)

We need an address for this place!!

TOTALLY agree with the pistacchi assessment. I never had it/liked it before Italy, either. And I miss Blizzards, too…Reeses Pieces…yum!

My mouth is watering!! I can never make my mind up. Love Pistacchio, Cherry, Pineapple, Mango see can;t make my mind up either…I know my husband loves Limone. This one sounds tasty. Frutti di Bosco – a mixture of raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and blackberries unds tasty…

I love licorice but never heard of a licorice gelato!!

Found this site…if you want to take a look.

You know I LOVE lemon, but rarely get lemon gelato. I’ll have to try that one. Thanks for the link!

my favourite flavour of all time is licorice!! Delicious. I noticed here in Italy it is more a lighter brown colour and not the balck you find elsewhere.

We have some fabulous gelaterias here in Messina, my favourite being one called ‘perigoloso’ (word play on dangerous and greedy) but actually i am not a great gelato fan overall. Probably the wrong place to post this (being an icecream post!!) but i prefer savoury stuff. And granita on really hot days….

Why am I not surprised you don’t like gelato?? ha ha I’ve never had licorice gelato… interesting.

I may have to sample the Nocciola, Stracciatella and bacio on Saturday Can’t wait! I love gelato!
Ah yes. Remember that email when I said we’d go get gelato. This is the place! The nocciola there is amazing, too. I just think I ate too much of it, ya know how that works. Kinda like when you drink too much vodka. I hear.

That’s it. I’ve got to go to Pozzetto and find a fallback flavor.

The things I have to do for research in order to be able to comment!

Nociolla. Nothing compares.

Which goes GREAT with pistachio!

I can certainly attest to the yum factor of this gelato. Can’t wait to have some this weekend!

Ah, yes Michelle. I forgot to mention the SMURF flavor … remember that?? And for everyone else – DONT try it. It was the only bad flavor I’ve ever had at this place!!

Very good looking treats there.

My fall back flavour is rum and raisin. I can’t get enough of it.

Why don’t you RUN over and get some? ha ha ha …

I love those kind of evenings, my husband would go for coffee and hazelnut, my son would get fior di latte, and I would get anything with chocolate in it – gianduia, nutella, bacio – mixed with something new – all yummy. And I love places like this because the have the neatest flavours!

Oooooh…. all GREAT choices. I love bacio, too. They also have a flavor called “Marrons Glacés” that everyone loves.
