As you can see by the line out the door, the word has spread and the phenomenon is catching on. By the way, the gelato is homemade on site, and is made without hydrogenated fat.
Yummm! I mentioned before my standard ‘go to’ flavors are Bacio (chocolate & hazelnut), Pistachio and Stracciatella (similar to American chocolate chip). At Frigidarium, I still stick with Pistachio (my favorite flavor), but I can’t seem to get enough of their Tiramisù (tastes just like homemade tiramisù) and Spagnola (Vanilla gelato topped with Amarena cherries).
The tartness of the cherries in the Spagnola and the coffee flavor in the Tiramisù pair perfectly with the rich chocolate coating.

Haha! SO GLAD you were able to go with us. Such a fun afternoon! We’ve been there twice this week, too. Can you tell I’m addicted?! 😉

My first favorite gelateria in Bologna closed years ago, but they made a nutella alla mascarpone that was to. die. for. I still love Il Gelatauro in Bo – the Sicilian orange-chocolate is amazing. Of course, I haven’t been there in years having since moved back to the States. Yum… gelato!

Oh wow…nutella alla mascarpone! Sounds delicious! Now if the chocolate coating was added to that, I seriously might not know what to do with myself. 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by, Cake!
