O Sole Mio
Posted in Desserts, Food News on February 13th, 2008 by mei| | 0 Comments.
I really don’t hang out enough in my neighborhood. If I did, I shouldn’t have missed the opening of this new(-ish) gelateria in my side of town.
“Pistachio gelato? No way.”
Way.
I’ve been a fan of The Girl Who Ate Everything for quite some time now and she definitely knows how to make my life sound incomplete without experiencing pistachio gelato. Not surprisingly, that’s exactly what I ordered at O Sole Mio.
I’m no expert on gelato (*sigh* doctor’s orders not to have anything cold in fact) but here are my findings – O Sole Mio serves gelato that is very rich and creamy and at 97% fat-free it sounds too good to be true. The store also carries frozen yogurt which I thought was satisfyingly creamy and it is the type of fro-yo that actually imparts the yogurt flavor. Will definitely visit again.
The pistachio flavor could have been stronger but I’ll admit I have nothing to base this on. My senses could have been numbed after bite #3 anyways.
I was also happy to know that the milk used to make the icy treats is from Taidong (å°æ±åˆé¹¿ company to be exact) and not imported. Eat local!
A small tub of gelato is 70nt and for the frozen yogurt, 60nt.
