As promised, The Best Gelato in the USA.
Anner spotted this note in the LA Weekly and made us venture into the foothills of Altadena to find it.
It was tucked away in the courtyard of a half empty, dilapidated mall that wouldn't have been out of place in Santa Maria, occupying the spot recently vacated by L337 Force PC Gaming (no really!).
The fellow in charge had gone to Italy to apprentice with one of the remaining ancients steeped in the wisdom of making gelato from scratch. He learned the lessons well, because all the flavors we tried tasted like distilled wonderful.
I went for Pistachio, the wife opted for basic chocolate, Anner e Bobo split a large cinnamon chocolate.
We all thought our choice was best.
The stuff had the texture of velvet and a startlingly clean flavor that couldn't have compared more favorably to the oversweetened, chemical taste of most frozen treats.
It's definitely on the itinerary for my next visit.
