I think it's funny to read some reviews saying, "This place is a tourist trap!" I hate to break it to you, but this whole city is a tourist trap. Once, you come to terms with that, the price of stuff becomes relative.
Was this place a bit pricey? Yes. However, it compared to the other stands surrounding it and it had some really excellent sorbet, granita and fresh fruit.
We first took notice of this place while we were walking up the stairs to get to lunch. I knew I wanted to check it out after lunch because the guy working there was seriously out of control, in the best way possible. He was working the stand, trying to get people to come in and I respected his hustle. He got me.
The outside has examples of the lemons and oranges you can get in the region. I liked that this was a way to decorate. There isn't any seating and the stand is very small, the 4 of us couldn't all fit in at the same time.
The granita I got with strawberries on top was seriously amazing. My friends husband got the Amalfi Dream, which was essentially orange sorbet. It was freaking amazing, so rich and creamy I thought it was a sherbet. It wasn't.
I'd gladly pay 20 Euro for the 4 of us to get these treats again, especially when a fancy cup of gelato in Vegas is getting close to $10. Gladly. read more
