Neon signs throughout the city proclaim dominance in a particular culinary expertise - Best Coffee, Best Pizza, and on and on. But only Bella Gelateria holds the award for having the best gelato in the entire world! Bella Gelateria has now won this prestigious award twice and for good reason. The gelato that they create is so perfectly balanced, it is creamy and rich, but light and not too sweet. From the first bite you can immediately tell that this gelato has been made with the care and attention to detail that can only come from a passionate gelato Maestro.Â
All of the gelato is made by hand, in-house and with the freshest ingredients. The choice of flavors at Bella Gelateria are delightful, my personal favorites are the hazelnut and the akbar mashti but if you are feeling adventurous try the black sesame. Whichever flavour you choose I can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
