75983 Wed Nov 30 15:27:49 -0800 2005 12 2 Los Angeles Area 0 418430 My friend owes me gelato, and has been asking me where we'll go for me to collect. Where would you go? I've only been to the one at the Santa Monica Promenade. Wed Nov 30 15:27:49 -0800 2005 0 snooze button 1 418432 I'd go to Al Gelato and make him buy you a slice of pie and lunch as well... ;) --Dommy! Wed Nov 30 15:31:01 -0800 2005 418430 0 Dommy! 2 418466 throw yourself a meatball as well and you got one hell of an afternoon. Wed Nov 30 17:10:40 -0800 2005 418432 0 jeffro 1 418452 Al Gelato is a strong second. But I would insist on Il Cono on the N. side of little Santa Monica Blvd. btn. Rodeo and Beverly. Their strawberry and chocolate make the perfect combination, but they have other divine options: lychee, pumpkin, rosewater, chocolate covered banana, creme caramel, dulche de leche, passion fruit, blood orange, just a bigger and better selection than Al Gelato and in my opinion noticeably yummier. Wed Nov 30 16:32:29 -0800 2005 418430 0 jcwla 1 418457 I recommend Melt right inside the Glendale Galleria. :) Wed Nov 30 16:38:59 -0800 2005 418430 0 L.S 2 418592 And I think there's one in Northridge mall now too.... Thu Dec 01 11:37:44 -0800 2005 418457 0 opitchi 1 418480 Il Cono is very good. I also found a new place, don't remember the name, next to the Coldstone on Pico across from Westside Pavilion. You must try it! Wed Nov 30 17:36:58 -0800 2005 418430 0 angie 2 418722 What flavors are particularly good at the place on Pico? Thu Dec 01 16:36:19 -0800 2005 418480 0 Sasha 3 418770 I liked pistachio--very nutty taste. Thu Dec 01 19:10:03 -0800 2005 418722 0 angie 1 418527 al gelato...but eat in, don't carry out! if you eat in, you can have two flavors for the price of one when you carry out...i personally did not have a good experience at il cono....really slow service. Wed Nov 30 18:54:10 -0800 2005 418430 0 jessie 1 418583 My vote is for Gelato Paradiso. One opened up across the street from Hollywood and Highland a few months ago. It's just a really pleasant place and the gelato is out of this world good. Better than any ice cream I've ever had, hands down. I've had a bad experience at Melt in the Galleria, so personally I'd stay clear. Gelato Paradiso 6922 Hollywood Boulevard, Suite 107 (323) 464-9256 (With three other locations--Corona del Mar, Newport Beach, and Laguna Beach.) Thu Dec 01 09:06:12 -0800 2005 418430 0 JacyFarrow 2 418601 Seconded. This place rocks. I've put up with the nightmare of trying to park on Hollywood Blvd. 6 times just to get to this gelato. Try the pistachio, the wild cherry and the hazlenut... Thu Dec 01 12:17:16 -0800 2005 418583 0 Adsvino 1 418779 I'll jump on the Al Gelato train, but also post a vote for the place on Melrose whose name I can NEVER remember. It is West of LaBrea and east of Fairfax--about a block west of Angeli Cafe. There is a sign that says GELATO HERE, with an arrow pointing down. And trust me, it will be a good day indeed if they have the fig-almond gelato. Oh, yum. Thu Dec 01 19:27:00 -0800 2005 418430 0 srl
