There were plenty of small tables to sit down and enjoy the atmosphere and it seemed like it would be a great place to come to when the weather is very cold and you can wrap your hands around a big cup of <em>cioccolato caldo<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t very well-lit inside but I think this could be conducive to two potential situations 1) a romantic evening or 2) hiding yourself as you scarf down ice cream. Either of these reasons seemed ok with me. <\/p>\n<p>They had some standard flavors as well as a few unusual ones like <em>pistacchio salato<\/em> (salty pistachio) and <em>pinolo<\/em>, pine nut, both of which I didn&#8217;t try this time around.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/msadventuresinitaly\/296735189\/\" title=\"Photo Sharing\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.flickr.com\/100\/296735189_e98419d0f6.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"The Gelato Case at Choco Cult\" \/><\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p>These servings look huge, but I think it&#8217;s just my, ahem, expert photography that makes them appear larger than they were.
