Yummy gelato, 2 scoop for $7.90. Love the setup with plenty of outdoor seating. I find it cute the waiters are dressed fancy and there's classical music playing

Very busy and the reason is obvious. Quality ice-creams and cafe options are great too. The staff seems exceptionally energetic while taking and delivering orders during the rush.
