Recently, I was somewhat jokingly asked about blogging about my ice cream / gelato favourites. As that's something easy to post, I will give it a try. I also tend to organise ice cream meetups at conferences, so it is a fitting theme for me.
You might find December to be a strange time for gelatoposting, but in my humble opinion, all times are gelato times. Just some people strangely think cold weather should keep you from cold food. Imagine your gelato not instantly melting.
Let's start with what I consider to be peak gelato: RivaReno Gelato, which I have personally sampled in Florence and Rome, but which apparently are around in other cities as well. If I had to point towards any place as "they are the best", it would be RivaReno.
They are of course not the only supreme gelato makers in Italy, but I have to start somewhere. I suggest you give them a try if you are around.
