We made our first gelato-destination-trek yesterday, after asking around about the best shops in the neighborhood. Miami Gelateria, conveniently located about halfway between our apartment and Jack’s school, makes theirs in-house, and offers an array of flavors, from the tangiest limone to the densest chocolate, with everything nutty and fruity in between.
They serve typical cones or cups with large, melty scoops, and they also make mini, dipped cones. The minis are about 6 centimeters (trying to think metrically, here) high, are dipped in dark chocolate, then a bowl of chopped nuts, then served, to eager little hands. You can eat one in two or three bites.
After contemplating the selection, and learning new words in the process, Jack chose melone and Peter and I shared a creme caramel.
The texture is airy and fluffy, compared to the hard ice cream at home, and the flavors were undiluted essences.
