Gelato la Nocciola – Italian Ice Cream Parlour

"Gelato la Nocciola" is an ice cream shop I really like in Tirana. They use the typical Italian methods to create their flavors. It's really worth it!

About me

I'm such a curious one: I'm constantly searching for new spots and new places. The places I love in this city are always about what I appreciate the most: Great food, art, books and music. After 15 years of working in Marketing, during the pandemic, I decided to change my path completely, and now I am a proud small business owner struggling with everyday challenges :)

I love this city because it is constantly evolving (and has fantastic weather, too :)). There is still so much to do to bring out the best in the people and the city.

Ingrid is not the only one
