De Pijp


Gelato is made daily on-site from family recipes using local, organic milk, butter and yoghurt, along with imported Italian ingredients such as lemons from the passionate fourth-generation gelato maker's native Liguria. Scrumptious flavours including cinnamon and fig; honey, yoghurt and cherry; coffee and hazelnut; and pear and walnut are scooped with a spatula into hand-rolled waffle cones or tubs. Cards only.
