Sugar Rush: Rose Gelato at Il Laboratorio del Gelato

[Photograph: Kathy YL Chan]

Here's a stunner for the warm spring weather. Il Laboratorio del Gelato is churning out batches of decidedly lush and fragrant rose gelato ($4.25/small). It pairs exceptionally well with milk chocolate (the rose notes give the heavier chocolate a floral lift), and also with a scoop of strawberry—complimentary flavors that could not possibly be prettier in appearance. It's not excessively floral in flavor, present enough to appreciate but still delicate with a light, barely sweet finish. Whatever you do, don't forget a side of whipped cream.
