Perfect Gelato Experience

I first heard of Gelatissimo from a sunday feature of a local magazine. What intrigues me is the contents of the products; 90-97% fat free depending on the flavor and has 25% air content. Ice cream has 70-75% air content. You’ll agree, of course, that it sounds so YUMMY!

I planned to visit the establishment last June but I was kinda hesitant because I had cough/cold that time. Ice cream is a no-no to people suffering from cold/cough and gelato, the product of Gelatissimo, is an Italian ice cream. So I made a commitment to try its product in my next visit to Terraces at Ayala - Cebu. I didn’t know then that SM City-Cebu has already a branch.

Finally, last Sunday, I made it a date to try gelato. I was amazed by variety of flavors the store offers - chocolate, vanilla, fruit, spirit and energy drink flavors. It seems a dilemma choosing what to try since you can’t have all the flavors at one setting. Add to it the fact that I’ll be counting months for my next visit to Cebu. The store personnel, however, will let you sample all flavors. I chose chocolate, raspberry, baileys in cream and tiramisu. The fruit flavors actually retains the sour taste of the fruits. The baileys in cream was superb, you’ll have a kick, I’m sure, if you consume three scoops of it. I’ll try snicker and mint flavors next time.

Expect to pay around P95 for one scoop, P150 for two scoops and P180 for 3 scoops. Don’t mind the price because it’s not the usual ice cream and I guarantee you get your money’s worth. I love it because it’s more richier, creamier and flavorful than ice cream. It doesn’t feel much colder in your mouth than licking an ice cream. And the quality? Every scoop of gelato comes from a freshly made batch created in the store.
