I have never been there--just tasted it at Mako (in BH). It is really incredible. There have been previous posts singing their praises on the board as well. You can buy Chow Bella (spelling?--might be Ciao Bella) sorbet at Whole Foods. The cabernet/berry flavor is fabulous--really winy. They don't sell it in gallon size, only pints. They used to only sell to restaurants. There are quite a few flavors now. Tue May 02 14:45:18 -0700 2006 451861 0 ThatPat 1 451928 For certain flavors, I love Al Gelato's sorbets (ices, really). The pineapple, pear, lemon and apple are all fantastic. Tue May 02 15:17:02 -0700 2006 451861 0 Jess 1 451985 I highly recommend Fosselman's, too. The family-owned store has been around for years, and their flavors are unique, satisfying, and delicious. Check out the site below - you can order online, too.
