They were good, but just a tad too sweet. The consistency was good though. There was ample seating in the two story parlor, but it was a bit warm as if the air conditioning was having trouble keeping up. There were also TV screens playing the local news so it made for some fascinating watching. This place also had restrooms, which was a welcome sight after walking Palermo SoHo all afternoon. Tudor was a solid 4 star experience, but less sugar would help the flavors come through a little more. The restaurant itself was pretty nice too- great atmosphere albeit a little warm.

That gelato here is fantastic. That's speaking as someone that has spent much time in Italy. I'd be happy to eat their chocolate any time. It's rich, decadent, but not bitter or overly sweet. The strawberry is a beautiful puree of fresh fruit that's delicious. The maracuya (passion fruit) is something you don't find much of outside of South America but you will love here! For $4 or less you can order up to 1/4 kilo of ice cream. It's a steal for the price. There will be a line out the door but it's fast moving and worth any wait. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. An English menu is provided along with many other languages. This is an essential visit when in Buenos Aires.

The reputation is fully deserved. The ice cream menu is presented on the wall as a sheet metal table of the elements. They light up the flavors they have on a given day. The table of the elements is hard to forget. About eight of the elements are fully alcoholic. They are based on Argentine cocktails such as Fernet and Cola or Gin and Tonic. I was too busy eating the other exotic flavors ... but vermouth and orange ice cream sounds just fine to me. * * * We have been eating here a lot. Why shouldn't your days end being happy?

Ice cream Spanish is fairly straightforward. At Helados Italia I was suddenly transformed into one of those situations like Jack Nicholson in Five Easy Pieces. I wanted one scoop of pistachio ice cream in a cup, not a cone. Sounds simple but apparently the rules at Helados Italia do not allow it. You can get one scoop in a small cone. Or you can get a cup filled to the brim with ice cream -- about 0.25 l, way more than I wanted. But you cannot get one scoop in a cup. I'll spare you all the details but I may have written a new chapter in the voluminous book of Americans making a scene in a foreign country as I explained that I want one scoop -- una bolita, una bucha -- in a cup and the very frustrated young woman told me that was against the rules. I ended getting ice cream in a cone which ran all over my hand as I ate it. Ugh. That said, the pistachio ice cream at Helados Italia was fabulous.

That being the case, I wasn't very impressed by the classic dulce de leche flavor. It was rich and sweet, a little too soft, but mostly just didn't have enough dulce de leche smokiness. Some of their other flavors were excellent. Try the Tramontana - with streaks of dulce de leche in a vanilla base, and chocolate-covered biscuit balls the size of almonds scattered throughout. I rarely go for fruity flavors, but the Merengatta was also terrific, extremely creamy (could it be mascarpone-based?) and swirled with fresh, bright-tasting strawberry. The doorknob to the ground floor restroom had broken off, so I felt like I was going to fall to my death when going up the spiral staircase to the other restrooms. Shoddy construction aside, the space is very bright and clean. Worth a visit? It shouldn't be first on your helado tour - especially considering that they're noticeably more expensive than other heladerias. But if you come across a Persicco branch while walking the city (and you probably will), definitely go in and try some of their signature flavors.
