Italy boasts a lot of fantastic gelaterias. Fancy ones where you first order and then go to a…read moreseparate counter to receive. Ones where there's an artistry to the making and shaping of ice cream that I have never seen anywhere else. In other words: Italy is the place to be, if you want to enjoy deluxe ice cream. ...And curiously enough, the best ice cream I have had in Italy (or anywhere else) was found in the tiniest, least extravagant shop I could have imagined. Cento per Cento is situated in a tiny, picturesque street just in front of Malcesines castle gates. Behind the counter, there's barely enough space for the two employees to maneuver, and in front of the counter, there's barely enough space for one or two people to marvel at the choice of ice cream. Cento per Cento has all the classics as well as some unique interesting creations of their own. And chocolate crusted waffles - of course ;) For three kinds of ice cream and one such chocolate cone I paid 4,5€ which, I'd say, is the golden standard of Italian ice cream. More expensive than, say, at home in Germany, but also much tastier. The flavors of dark chocolate, cookies, cherry and nuts all merged perfectly, the cone remained crunchy, and didn't get soaked through - it's all I could've asked for and more. If you ever happen to be in Malcesine, do yourself a favor and check out Cento Per Cento.
