"After attending a gelato university in Bologna, Italy more than a decade ago, co-owner Emiliano Cecchetti opened up this compact gelateria in Berkeley, and quickly became a neighborhood staple. Offering lactose-free and vegan options, the shop shows off flavors with the light, yet creamy texture that only excellent gelato can deliver. Get yourself scoops of Italian classics like chocolate-speckled stracciatella, fior di latte, or gianduia — or try more California-inspired options like white guava, pluot, and pineapple. Be sure to pop in regularly to check out the rotating flavors, which they swap out often." - Lena Park
