Having driven the couple of hours from Orta to Locarno is was ready for a coffee, and the espresso did not disappoint! And the gelato! Two large chillers filled with an extensive variety of fruit and cream based flavours. As tempted as I was by the amazing chocolate varieties, I went with a scoop of mango and a scoop of fruits of the forest. Delicious! Full of flavour, every bite was fab.

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!

I went with a Bambino size (kid size) for 1.50 euros after sampling one flavor. I went with their pistachio flavor which was okay. The girl behind the counter was rude and kept rolling her eyes at us although we did not do anything wrong. She was very unfriendly. They didn't have many flavors to choose from and their gelato melted fast. There was also no place to sit and enjoy your treat. Since there are so many other places to get gelato, I would not recommend this place.

Their gelato was not as advertised: the sign said mascarpone with pistachio. But what I received had raisins in it! And, it was icy rather than creamy.
