Incredible selection of Italian ice cream. You can just pick up a ball in a cup or sit down for a…read moretreat of a lifetime. The menu alone deserves half an hour of studying, varying from yogurt ice creations to the most colourful and delicious mixes of ice cream, fruits, berries, nuts, chocolates, liquors and sauces or hot and cold drinks mixed with ice cream. Waffles and ice have their own full menu. If I lived anywhere nearby, I'd come back until I tasted them all.

Homemade gelato? Count me in!…read more This place was always crowded with people, but don't let that discourage you. The gelato is worth the wait. They have a wide range of flavors from vanilla to mango to stracciatella and more. This is by far the best gelato I've ever had. I was literally there almost every day after class, LOL. My favorite flavors are pistachio, dark chocolate, and mango. Prices for a simple cup or cone: 1 scoop (1.10 €); 2 scoops (2.20 €)

The Sunday I visited was no exception, as almost all shops were closed. Except for the sprawling Gelateria Centrale, a massive restaurant (relative to other shops in the area), and I was in the mood for ice cream ! As with other German "eiscafes" this ice cream shop had a beautiful menu featuring all of its offerings in highly detailed color photos. Prices ranged from about 7.30 Euros down to kids sundaes for 3.70 Euros. Most sundaes are about 4.50 Euros. The Euro was worth about $1.09 at the time of my visit. The sundaes are truly works of art, and yes, the ice cream was of the highest quality. I noticed that they also sold cold sandwiches for 3.50 Euros for folks not hankering for ice cream. There is no place like this in San Diego. I'm not sure one would survive, anyway. The Europeans like to linger over their meal and savor their coffee to the last drop. By contrast, Americans seem to be in more of a hurry. You don't want to rush a massive ice cream sundae, do you? Anyway, I recommend this place to anyone within driving distance of Oldenburg.
