Gelateria Ottavo Senso

The texture of the gelato in Milan

is so light, fluffy, and smooth. And

because we visited in December,

we were lucky enough to encounter

a delicious panettone flavor.

Giolitti

Popular even on a rainy night in

January, it was worth the wait for

dark-as-night blackberry gelato

or creamy noce (walnut). (giolitti.it)

Gelateria dei Neri

The gelato here is smooth, dense,

and almost stretchy. We made a

good life choice: hedonistic choco-

late amaro and almost-funky salted

butter caramel. (facebook.com/

Gelateria Soave

We chose to eschew the funicolare

and walk up the many, many steps

to the Vomero neighborhood, where

a scoop of just-churned caffè gelato

made the perfect reward. (Via

Alessandro Scarlatti, 130)

ALL THE GELATO

We got to know all

the regional nuances

of gelato during our

Year of Italy. Here are

our favorites.
