I underestimated Gelato. The fresh and herbal description didn't prepare me for the reality. Parmesan brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating. Italian cooking is intensely regional with little crossover b…

Most people overlook how much the right drink changes Gelato. I ordered it with Prosecco and the bright and tomatoey elements of the dish sharpened considerably against the pairing. aged balsamic in particular became more prominent in a good way. ingredient simplicity and quality are the guiding pr…

I was looking forward to Gelato here based on the reputation. The reality was disappointing.

The fresh and herbal taste hit immediately and made sense of the dish in a way descriptions never quite do. fresh basil is an ingredient I'd not encountered used quite like this before.
