"Small gelato shop that also sells Tiramisu and a selection of cold drinks. My Pink Fig gelato was unique: very "figgy" and delicious, but they have other more traditional offerings as well. Great on a hot afternoon."

"No complaints, the gelato was yummy, service was nice, and prices were fair! I tried lemon, mango, cherry, and strawberry and I loved the last two. Their gelato is authentically made and served from metal tins (not the air-filled type with tons of stabilisers and colourings)!"
