Not very typical but the San Crispino does not leave the gelato on display for your appreciation, the justification being that gelato must be kept under lids in order to keep cold. There are signs everywhere saying that the gelato is artisanal. We opted for traditional pistachio, which was not just creamy but had small pieces of pistachio in the ice cream. The highlight though was the caramel merengue, delicious and different from the flavors we usually see, but go for it only if you like your ice cream quite sweet. Other delicious options included tempting zabaione with marsala, cocoa with rhum, hazel or chestnut ice creams. They serve the scoops in cups only, stating that cones spoil the flavor of the ice cream. Well, in Italy ice cream is serious stuff!
