Last weekend we were in Covent Garden with the family. We had a yummy lunch at Franco Manca, but while they have amazing pizza they sadly do not offer dessert. So we went to Venchi in the Piazza for some of their amazing gelato. You could go to Venchi for some of their delicious, and expensive, chocolate. They keep the chocolate in super cool dispensers, wrapped up in loads of bright colours, which begs to be eaten. But the gelato is out of this world. My favourite is their hazelnut. Words cannot describe how good it is. I don’t know about you, but I think ‘gelato’ is my favourite Italian word. Hmmm. Gelato.
Heh, I think it may just be my family’s favourite Italian word too (although pizza probably pushes it close). There is definitely something about the creaminess of a gelato that puts what we call ice cream in this country to shame (although things have improved in recent years).
Now that looks like amazing ice cream, Italians do know a thing or two! Happy Easter
That gelato looks amazing, and I love those chocolate dispensers – I could do with some of those at home!
The dispensers are fab, and I would also love some for my home! 🙂
Those are the biggest ice creams in the world. Decadence in a cone I think. #MySundayPhoto
Those were the smallest ice creams they did!!!
That looks amazing, I’m looking forward to frequenting London again when I’m not about to pop and I need some of that chocolate gelato! Happy Easter!xx #MySundayPhoto
You need to try it Hannah. It’s so delicious. They have dark and regular chocolate, and both are wonderful! xx
Those ice creams are as big as their heads! I’m not sure I’ve ever had gelato, but those do look delicious.
Ooo they look good, love wandering around Covent Garden
Happy Easter
Thank you for linking up
Wow, they are gigantic. No wonder the kids look pleased with them. I love gelato too – so delicious and they don’t seem as ‘icy’ as the UK ice creams on the whole.
Happy easter
They were actually the smallest ice creams. Can you imagine if we’d gotten them a large???!! haha
Oh wow! What a treat! They look amazing x
Crikey! Those ice creams look as big as their heads! #MySundayPhoto
I only discovered gelato on a holiday to Rome many many years ago and it was so nice. That gelato looks humoungous and wow does it look nice!
That ice cream looks amazing – and it’s nearly the size of his head! Totally jealous. I love Covent Garden, one of my favourite places in London x
That place looks heavenly! And the ice cream looks so creamy! Now I am craving for some =) #mysundayphoto
