First time eating gelato definitely not the last. The consistency were perfect and the taste… delicious. This cafe has a true gelato, because you couldn’t see the ice scream, when you walk in (that’s because the real gelato isn’t shown like normal ice cream). Moreover the place is comfy and modern, furthermore has a really good location The cafe looks comfy and modern.
