We got the hazelnut (nocciola) and pistachio gelato and as a direct back to back comparison to another gelateria, this one was much sweeter and less strong in flavor. It did seem a bit catered to tourists. It was solid.

Among the many unique chocolate products, you can also get chocolate beer/liquor and yummy cannoli. Don't skip out on the chocolate bar made with donkey milk, chocolate with chili, and vanilla one!

They make the shells fresh, they fill the shells while you wait, etc - it's pretty much exactly what cannoli should be.
