Over the past three years I’ve written so much about gelato that I had to check my previous posts to make sure I was using an original title! Gelato is a treat I look forward to when I go to Italy and I found a new flavor in Parma called Parmigianino that was light and fluffy. When I get gelato I usually choose two flavors so I can sample something different as well as picking one of my favorites. It is fun to walk and enjoy the scenery with a refreshing gelato. I’m not the only one who does that either – I saw lots of people walking with their gelato cones and cups!
I decided to continue with this theme so here are some of the signs I saw as well as actual gelato. These pictures make me want to go back to Italy as soon as possible.
Try new flavors
Must stop here
A welcome sign
Colorful combination
Gelato in Como
I found myself swallowing as I read this, wishing I had a gelato in my hand right now!
I definitely know what you mean – I’d like a gelato too!
Sadly, too sweet for me now
I’m very sorry to hear that – the idea of gelato is nice though… :)
Mmmmm, gelato!!! Who doesn’t love a gelato and a stroll round town?! Am licking my lips just looking at the photos, thanks for sharing!
It was so pleasant to walk around – or even find a place to sit – with some gelato. It became part of the experience!
Now I am hungry for a gelato. Must see if I can find some in Spain.
I have a feeling that you will find a place to get gelato and it will become one of your favorite places to get a treat!
I love gelato, but I’m off sugar. DRAT!!!! (Looks wonderful though!)
I’m glad that you enjoyed the pictures of gelato and I’m sorry that you can’t actually eat any…
I comfort myself by remembering how wonderful it was when I was able to have it. We happen to have an excellent gelato place near us, and we frequented it quite a bit in previous years, so at least I had a good amount of time to enjoy all the different flavors (cherry amaretto was my favorite, with wildberry, pineapple-coconut, and dark chocolate all close seconds!). Although that doesn’t always help when the cravings hit on a hot summer day… ;)
It must be difficult, especially now that it’s summer. It sounds like you have good memories though – I hope they help!
Italian gelato – I love it – you can never get enough of that stuff!!
I agree – it’s something I wish I could take home with me!
Pistachio is my very favourite
That sounds good – I’ll have to try some the next time I’m in Italy!
i love Italian gelato! yummy photos! :)
Thanks! Gelato is one of my favorite treats and I’m glad I took so many pictures so I can remember all the gelato shops I saw… :)
I am so with you on this one. I was so missing Italy the other day……..I bought a gelato and sat on the bed with my eyes closed pretending I was tucked away in a small cafe near the Trevi Fountain in Rome……just near enough that I could hear the water and the crowds…..
That is a wonderful way to be transported back to Italy! I’d like to step into one of these pictures and be in Italy long enough to see the ocean or the mountains… :)
Gelato!!! I love an affogato, gelato with espresso. It’s all good:)
That really sounds like quite a tasty combination of flavors!
The best!!
I’ll look for them the next time I’m in Italy!
You can NEVER write about gelato too much! LOL!
I have to agree with you – I never get tired of writing about my wonderful gelato experiences! :)
It just shouts Summer! Love the signs, Meg :)
Thanks Jo – I was always happy to see signs for gelato!
Perfect timing Meg. Love the coconut gelato I had in Rome. Just fabulous!!
That sounds like a yummy flavor Renee! I’ll have to try that next time I’m in Italy… :)
Love that display case full of gelato. Almost too pretty to eat.
I think the displays are pretty too, especially when there are flowers arranged on the fresh gelato!
