What is Gelatissimo? Primarily it is an ice cream place but they don't sell your local grocery available brands. Gelatissimo is an experience.
They create their own flavors- flavors that range from your vanilla to the richness of chocolate to lushness of fruit. Their menu shows premium dairy and premium sorbet. They have flavors we've seen elsewhere such as white chocolate or mango or Belgian Chocolate; but they have some flirty flavors that are uniquely theirs. I loved the names in their naughty or nice line:
- Will You Marry Me - white chocolate and macadamia
- Love is Blind - white chocolate and blueberry
- Stood Up - Chocolate Creme brulee
- Heart Broken - white chocolate and Honeycomb
- Falling for You - white chocolate and passion fruit
- Far Too Confused - chocolate macaron
- I'm Just Not ready - (sorry forgot the ingredients)
- You Had Me at Hello - white chocolate and raspberry
- No Strings Attached - (sorry forgot the ingredients)
After tasting almost all the flavors on display (yes, they actually encourage you to taste), I chose the lemon cheesecake - is that any surprise when I looove lemon squares? All I can say is YUM! The cleanness of the flavor was perfect. The lemon just right - not too sour. It was a toss up between this and the chili chocolate
Not surprisingly a scoop of ice cream here is way more expensive than a scoop of the stuff you would buy in a grocery but it is definitely worth the price.
There are 5 Gelatissimo branches here in Manila:
- Greenbelt 5
- Trinoma
- Serendra
- Shangrila
- Megamall
For those who's rather enjoy their treat in the comfort of their home, they also sell their gelato in half liter and 1 liter packages. Their staff said that you can have up to 3 flavors in the half liter and 4 flavors in the 1 liter package. The price is not dependent on the flavor you pick but on the size of the package you choose.
I will definitely go back soon.
