Angelo's Gelato Bar

Today for the ice cream blog, we visit Angelo's and experience Gelato.  For those of you don't know, Gelato is an Italian word for ice cream.  It is made with milk cream, sugars and fresh fruit.  Unlike traditional ice cream, Gelato contains little or no air.

Here is a look at the delicious Gelato displayed at Angelo's. 

So the big question- how does it compare to traditional ice cream and frozen yogurt.  Let's find out.  Each of the judges today get two scoops and two flavours.

Comments:

• The appearance of the Gelato display is a work of art; bright colours, swirls, cookies and fruit
• Chunks of Peach give the Gelato that extra taste 
• All the gelato we tasted  seemed to be more flavourful than regular ice cream, and the majority of us thought it was better than frozen yogurt.  
• Customer service was superb; the server noticed we were having difficulty making a decision on what to get; She suggested trying a couple of flavours
• The cost is a little on the higher side; costing $3.99 for two regular scoops 

The Score: 

Angelo's is awarded a rating of 88.5% or
