I spent five hot summer days trekking the Italian Alps and sampling gelatos in the little towns…read morebelow them in search for the one that would blow me away. Finally, on the fifth day, the Gods of Gelato bestowed their graciousness upon me and showed me the not only the most delicious, but ironically also the cheapest gelato I've had during my entire five day search. For a mere 3.50, my L size cup was stuffed with ice cream in such a generous huge pile that my ice cream towered above the rim just like the lovely Mt.Cervino watching over this entire village. The gelato had the taste and consistency of gods' ambrosia, just like they make them at their best in Italy. It was so sumptuously creamy and thick that even in the extreme summer heat, you could take all the time you wanted admiring the pile of goodness in front of you, and not a bit of it would melt away. My pistachio flavor perfectly captured the essence of fresh yummy pistachios, and the cream flavor was just pure creamy heaven, not too sweet, but melting your taste buds away with its velvety smoothness. My sampling partner shared the burst of joy I experienced over this gelato. We wish we could come back again. For summer days, this place has a spacious outdoor seating where you can have your own little fangirl moment over this ice cream like we did.

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. Make a detour before you go up into the mountains, you'll be glad you did.

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! The hazelnut (nocciola) is a MUST TRY as it literally tastes like a Ferrero Rocher in gelato form. We enjoyed other flavors as well including the cherry (amarena).
