"Look, we know, gelato is not technically ice cream, but hear us out: when it’s hot out and you’re on Valencia Street, this is the place to go. Chef and owner Iliary Biondo owned a gelato shop in Palermo for ten years and serves the real deal at her current San Francisco shop, Hila. Go with whatever flavor moves you — we’re partial to pistachio and gianduia — but whatever you do, get it stuffed into a walk and snack’able cannoli if you can." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri
