"Gran Caffe L’Aquila is an Italian spot in Rittenhouse that's open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but the real reason to come here is for the gelato. They have endless flavor options, and each spoonful has the perfect ratio of creaminess,  richness, and mix ins. If you can’t think of which flavor to go for, just know that the salted caramel will haunt your memories for weeks and will drive you to make some excuse for stopping by (like there’s a “g” in your cat’s name and one in gelato, so it must be fate)." - candis mclean, alison kessler
