Gelato is kept at a relatively warmer temperature than the “ice cream” Americans may be used to back in the states. This allows for the flavors to be that much more pronounced and vivid. The right temperature for gelato puts the mixture at an almost-liquid state, so the best gelato will be found when you look in to metal tins behind the window.Ingredients.

That’s another immediate indicator for you to keep on walking if you want a memorable gelato experience.
