Definitely our favorite out of the ones we tried in the area. This gelato spot is very centrally located amongst all the other small shops and restaurants in Bellagio and even if there's a line, it moves quick!

There were two workers acting as cashier, server and entertainment as they both swore at the phone each time it rang. There was a bit of a wait as each person was served, but everyone got their gelato eventually. A plus of this franchise is that they drizzle a coating of chocolate of your choice (white, milk, dark) inside the cone before placing the gelato inside. The gelato itself is creamy and light, with the chocolate flavors being more intense. Very good and worth the wait!

If you go to Milan, you should stop here. It is located just behind the Galleria (world's oldest…read moreshopping mall) and Il Duomo (the marble cathedral). Yes, it is a little bit "touristy", but lots of fun. They have savory (such as prosciutto and cheese) and sweet (chocolate). I have been several times and it is not unusual for the line to be down the block. If so, divide and conquer: One person find a place to sit (steps in front of the cathedral?) while the other goes to order and bring back the goodies.

When it's finally your turn at the counter, pick your panzerotto, grab a cold Peroni, and enjoy it street-side. The shop's location, just a few minutes from the breathtaking Duomo di Milano, makes it the perfect pit stop with plenty to see and do nearby. Get yourself over there--you'll leave with a savory taste lingering and a big smile. Saluti!

There's always room for dessert, especially if it starts with "g" and ends in "o": G-E-L-A-T-O! We decided to get fancy and do our "merendina" (snack) and sit down with our group of friends and order directly from their menu. The kind gelato waitress came by and took our order, we were about 6 adults and 5 kids. These guys had so much patience and brought out our orders with a big warm smile and delicious gelato for all. I ordered a custom gelato cup with pistacchio (MUST TRY) and nocciola flavors. The gelato was so fresh and creamy and melted right in your mouth. As I write this, it's making me want more! Our friends ordered gelato filled crepes, gelato topped waffles mad right in the moment, gelato cones, bowls and all the good stuff. Everything was delicious and it definitely was worth it. The prices were a little more than your average cup of gelato. If you feel like indulging and spoiling yourself, this is the place to do it! Bottom line: go get your gelato, now! :)
