      Tried their chocolate and vanilla gelato and they were amazing....and I have tried a lot of gelato places! Can't wait for them to add onto their selection in the next couple of weeks as the weather warms up....pistachio and coffee here I come!

      Have also tried their croissants and cookies and have been really impressed. Best cappucino in the area right now...

      Thanks, Idas. Not that that my waistline really needs a gelato place so close to me, but it's still nice to have it there!

        Hey, on the upside, sweater season has arrived.... :)
        Just bring a buddy and split a treat, only 1/2 the indulgence can still sweeten up a gloomy day.

          Yay, excellent smoothest long espresso and perfect and fresh Feuillette au Framboise....mmmmm.
          So light, not too sweet, almost felt like it had no calories....nam nam nam.
          I wish that they would make some savory stuff like mini foccicia.
          Welcome to the hood!!

            Sampled some of their wares: baci di dama, cannoli and a nutella bombe (cream puff with nutella pastry cream - read somewhere he makes his own nutella). Fillings were incredibly light with a hint of sweetness. Apparently, everything is made in-house.

            They store their gelati in pozzetti - stainless steel wells with lids - this minimizes air and light and slows down the changing structure of the gelato after it is made.

            The chef/owner(?) gave a me a sample of homemade foccacia with grilled vegetables - said they will be introducing some savoury items soon. Yum.
