My family was raving about Bianco Nero and insisted that we stop by the other night. The adorable…read morecafe looked like it could have been on a street in Italy. It had loads of charm and offered amble seating. But, the true highlight was the breadth of unique gelato flavors that were on display in their large counters. Some of the more creative varieties that evening were Greek Yogurt with Figs, Roche Chocolate Hazelnut, and Kinder Bueno.
I typically need to steer clear of dairy, so I was eager to see what they had in terms of vegan options. Unfortunately, on that evening, the only creamy, non-dairy flavor was Strawberry, which I sampled and found artificial tasting. So, I was then left with only sorbet options of lemon, passionfruit, raspberry, and mango. Sorbet can often be too sweet or too icy in texture, so I was bummed, but I really wanted to get something. I settled on a small cup, which was absurdly expensive at $9, but still allowed me the opportunity to try two flavors. I went with the passionfruit and the raspberry, and I have to say, that both were fantastic! They offered really ripe flavor, while also tasting clean, not artificial, and not super sugary. I was very impressed. I also tried the smallest tastes of the Blueberry Cream, Banana Pudding, and Coffee scoops from family members and had similar sentiments that they were very natural tasting. In fact, the Banana Pudding tasted more like a mashed, frozen banana than a sugar-laden pudding.
Bianco Nero certainly delivered on the claims from their website about their creative flavors, their top-tier ingredients, and their playful presentation within their display case and on their fun sprinkle-bedazzled cones. There site also mentioned the shop being a real destination, and I agree that it was a true foodie experience worth the visit.
