this is the real thing!

only open fri, sat, sun  11-6pm.

not only do they sell pints, they package them in a styrofoam container to keep it chilly.

i counting the days to friday.</content>

      <content>one last quetsion, what's the price on scoops and do you have to pay admission to the museum to get in taste the gelato?  thanks again.

i did read that j gold review and immediately wanted to try except for the fact that now i know it's only open on weekends and it's also all the way in pasadener.</content>

      <content>i roughly recall paying $3.50 for a small and $13.50 for a pint.  not cheap, but i don't think they're getting rich off of mark-up either.

you don't need to pay admission for the museum and parking on the street is pretty easy.  they also pull a mean shot of espresso.

it's worth the trip to pasa-dena.

had some gelato last night at doner spitz and swork...very average and il cono the day before...less than average.</content>

      <content>I have heard they are going to start opening on Wednesdays soon but I am not sure when.
I have also heard they are looking for their own place.</content>

      <content>still open, and his texture is getting better and better.

bulgarini, pazzo and scoops (last two are really ice cream) are the only three gelato/ice cream joints i know of producing from scratch.  i've been on a gelato crawl since may in italy which spilled over to l.a. when i returned home.

not open on wednesday as mentioned above.

hours both at the museum and the movie theater posted here (linked in case of changes):

www.bulgarinigelato.com

also, an article from the pasadena star news which explains his process better than any other article i know of:

http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:_P0mwHhL_UEJ:www.pasadenastarnews.com/food/ci_4358970+bulgarini+gelato&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=us&amp;ct=clnk&amp;cd=6&amp;client=firefox-a

went to the movie theater on sunday for a fix.  interesting.  he wouldn't sell the chocolate to someone because he said, "it's done.  too old.  it's no good."  

i think he's the only guy doing real or authentic gelato in all of l.a./oc.

enjoy and please report back.</content>
