Today during my walk to class I noticed something new...a gelateria (gelato store). On the next block I noticed another, and yet another before I reached the corner. Initially astounded that so many new gelaterie were springing up all over the city, it suddenly dawned on me...When I first got to Bologna I was shocked (and disappointed) over how few gelaterie there were - I had heard great things about Italian gelato and was surprised to find that aside from a couple of national and international gelato chains, there weren't many around town.
It turns out that there ARE a lot of gelato places, they were just hibernating for the winter! Now that it's mid-February, the time is clearly ripe to re-open up shop. There are now 2-3 gelaterie up and running on any major block in Bologna; 1-2 gelaterie on the random blocks. Go figure.
Good thing I have already invested in a membership at the local palestra (gym)!!
omg! those look YUM! and I dont even like ice cream....go figure
ReplyDeleteyou must try nutella gelato- it is addictive, but it is the bomb.
