I'm often asked what my favorite gelato flavor at L'arte del Gelato is. It's a crazy question; the pistachio is insanely delicious, as are the trio of housemade copettas (especially the Affogato all'Arancia, which couples campari, lemon sorbet, and fresh squeezed orange juice). And I love the fruity sorbets in flavors of
grape and green apple.

But you can't go wrong by trying a flavor of the week. Here's the panna cotta, one of their richer and heavier flavors, and perfectly smooth. It's lightly swirled with a somewhat nutty caramel turning the gelato a beautiful pale, off-white shade. Pair with the pistachio and you've found a combination that's hard to beat.
