Bobboi Gelato Graces Little Italy With Second Sweet Shop | Eater San Diego

"Having debuted a stand-alone gelateria on nearby Kettner Boulevard, the local company — founded in downtown La Jolla in 2014 — fills the ground floor of the AV8 mixed-use development and joins SuperNatural Sandwiches and Zinqué Restaurant & Wine Bar. Made by chef Monica Maccioni using traditional techniques, the gelato and sorbet cover classic Italian flavors from stracciatella to pistachio but are better known for unique combos like Charcoal Vanilla and Pumpkin Amaretto and for flavors based on local ingredients such as Rose Almond, made with Hopkins almonds and Lebanese rosewater. The Kettner shop’s Pozzetti case will hold 18 flavors including exclusive collaborations with area chefs and restaurants — for example Miso Orange Maple (inspired by The Crack Shack’s biscuits and butter) and Pineapple Amaro (made from Nolita Hall’s pineapple-infused amaro) — with future partnerships planned with Puesto and Cesarina. Open daily at 11 a.m., the 1,000-square-foot shop has indoor and outdoor seating, was designed by local group Arch5 with bright, colorful tile, and will eventually feature a wall-sized custom-painted mural; hours run until 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday." - Candice Woo
