"Located on Michigan Avenue across from the Art Institute, it’s tempting to write off Amorino as yet another tourist trap. Partly because it is—it’s constantly mobbed with tourists stopping in the doorway to take pictures. Plus it’s an international chain. But their beautifully presented gelato (in the shape of a rose) is, in fact, very good. Maybe it’s the allure of unusual options like orange-cinnamon and rum-flavored candied chestnut, or how you can get an unlimited number of flavors piled into a single scoop. But it’s mostly just because the gelato is rich and velvety." - adrian kane, veda kilaru
