So Ira--all US location-gelato
Its not fair Ira that you hide gelato hints in various threads. I know you mentioned one vendor outside ATL and today you mention FT Lauderdale.
May I have another please? |
I'll share one for Gelato lovers in NJ

i live in metro dc and have yet to find a local gelato shop that compares to the real thing.
I started making my own stracciatella using a machine by Lello. unlike som machines, i generates its own cold so that you can make one batch after the other. The stracciatella come sout FABULOUs. I'm still trying to perfect some of the fruit flavors.. Can anyone help? |
Dick, Stracciatella da casa is a soup with spinach & egg here... what's in your gelato version? Curious... Trish

Dick,
Actually, there IS the real thing in the DC area. Go to Sam's market and cafe in Rockville at the Ritchie center plaza on Rockville Pike (just south of downtown Rockville). It's in a strip mall behind the IHOP. The owner learned his craft in Italy before emigrating to the US. He makes dozens of flavors that change often with a concentration on what fruits are in season (his market sell fruit as well - the cafe is Persion). Once he lnpws you, he'l even make flavors to order!! Call and say "one pint of bosc pear, please" or whatever. All your favorites are there as well as some unique flavors such as rose water, fig, olive oil. I agree that the places in the district try but just don't "quite" get there - although Macgruder's in Cleveland Park is a close substitute if you don't have a car and need Metro accesible. Nat'l Gallery of Art's and Natural History Museum's versions are a joke. In Philly, Capogiro is pretty good too. |
The U.S. is all about ICE CREAM!!!
Gelato go home!!! |
The U.S. is all about immigrants from all over the world--gelato stay!

I thought Ira had said the gelato place outside Atlanta was in Watkinsville. I got some very strange looks when I asked about it when I was there last. The clerk at the Golden Pantry thought I was very strange indeed.
I hope Ira responds...I want to know! There is a good gelato store in Savannah in City Market. |
Tracy, have you TASTED gelato? You must be kidding.

trish,
Stracciatella is like a chocolate chip with a very fine chocolate. I can post the recipe I use if anyone has interest bardo, I have tried that place in the Rithie Center( next to El Mariachi) and really didn't like it at all. Although it "might be ok" ofr the states...IMO, it doesn't compare to gelato in Italy . |
Dick, that sounds delicious! Would love the recipe!! Trish

trish,
Its an easy recipe...just don't skimp on the quality of the ingredients. 1.5 c whole milk 1.5 c heavy cream 1.25 c sugar 2 oz grated chocolate half vanilla bean (split lengthwise) In Med saucepan, heat the milk, cream and sugar. cook over med heat , stirring to dissolve sugar. Cook until bubbles form around thedge of the pan. Remove from heat and add the vanilla bean, scraping the seads into the milk and let stand for 30 min. cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until completely chilled. REMOVE the vanilla pod and stir in grated chocolate. Transfer to ie cream or gelato freezer and chill. Makes about 1 qt. Notes: 1. I use Trader Joe's dark Belgian Chocolate. 2. Do not use any vanilla bean that you buy in store in a jar. I tried and they are useless. I get my vanilla beans from "theKitchen Project" (http://www.kitchenproject.com/vanilla/Vanilla_Bean.html ) 3. The 2 hr chilling time allows the vanilla flavor to really sink in. This recipe is from a Gelato Book by Johns. |
Fairhope,
Next time you're in NO, try Angelo Brocato's on N. Carrolton. Delicious! My BF's Italian family swears by it! |

"The feeling is very old world. It's a family run business. A quirky kind of place with fantastic gelato and wonderful pastries, as well as, marvelous coffee. Don't miss it." Opens at noon Also found Gelato Pazzo Caffee at 1 Poydras |
Does anyone know of any locations in or around Seattle for gelato?
|
The Whole Foods Market in Bellevue, WA has a gelato scoop-shop.
BEWARE! They advertise gelato as "low fat" or "lower fat than ice cream" but actually it is made with egg yolks and has 4 times as much CHOLESTEROL as most ice creams. |
Thanks! I live and Redmond and have been intending to check it out since they opened. This just gives me extra incentive.
