Amorino Gelanti E Delizie D’Italia

Amorino is a gelato boutique with almost 30 stores globally…and really, it’s not hard to understand why. The gelato is, for lack of a better term, OM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM. Delicious. I can’t think of any gelato that I’ve had outside of Italy that’s tasted as good as the stuff here. They offer a variety of flavors, of which Jen and I split one called L’unimitable, which has a very high likelihood of being a major pronunciation FAIL. The best I could describe it is a cocoa flavored gelato with ENORMOUS chunks of frozen hazelnut chocolate. I felt like I should have been digging for an insulin needle in my bag, it was so sweet and utterly decadent.

Their signature scoop is a rosette shaped cone, which is absolutely beautiful. I’ve never seen a gelato boutique shape something quite like it.

We tried to go back for a second time on a separate night in Paris, but weren’t able to find it in time (it was already getting past midnight on our second search) and that’s one of the few things about this trip that actually made me sad. If you’re in Paris, you MUST stop in for some of their gelato. Paris has 10 stores, plan on stopping in earlier in your trip or you might just miss out on it altogether!
