In Short
Wood floors and modern decor constructed from blue blown-glass bottle lamps and cool, curvy glass display cases, make this Italian-style gelateria a hangout for Europeans and wannabes. It's a bright spot on a street that's gradually being brought back to life. The use of fresh, local ingredients make the unusual flavors shine, although the cost (close to $5 for a small size) may give you pause.

While walking around Rittenhouse Square during the summer, my daughters and I stopped here for some gelatos - the best we ever had! It was very busy but the staff was courteous and friendly.

This is the best place to go on a hot summer evening. It is located in a prime area for shopping and dining. It has seating, and is nice to hang out and have a coffee and/or sandwich also. Delicious.

service is friendly and hip, and you get free samples. Heirloom apples with marscapone cheese. Rosemary goatsmilk. Coconut milk. kiwi. There is real liquor when they add wild turkey, or champagne, or cognac.

Save Money:
If you're light in the wallet, you can get a mini-serving, which still allows you room to taste two varieties.
When to Go:
Weather permitting, you can people-watch from an outdoor table.
Know Before You Go:
Gelato has less calories than ice cream, as it's made from milk, not cream. Also, there's less air whipped into it and it's kept at a higher temperature than ice cream, giving it that concentrated, melt-in-your mouth appeal.
