No summer day out would be complete without a gelato and this smart little gelateria is one of the best in town. Among the flavours are some unusual and creative choices, including Sri Lankan coconut and bacio al rhum (chocolate-hazelnut with rum), as well as staples like intense, dark chocolate and Sorrento lemon.
