"A cone of pineapple creamsicle gelato with a little paper umbrella at Ciao Ciao perfectly encapsulates what summer feels like. While all of the silky gelato at this Italian cafe doesn't necessarily taste like a Slip N’ Slide feels, each flavor will be rich and intense in a good way. Nothing is artificial or too sweet, like apple pie which is lightly cinnamony and not cloying. Be prepared for some decision paralysis—the Portage Park shop offers 46 flavors from a stable of 120, rotating them every Tuesday and Thursday." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
