Holy moly! Mark July 29th in the history books, folks. Today... Sunday, July 29th... we discovered the best gelato in the Vicenza province. Perhaps even in the entire Veneto region. Dare I even say, in all of Italy?!?
Tucked into a quiet little neighborhood in Caldogno, Gelateria Elefantino is a hidden gem, serving up the creamiest, most flavorful gelato I've ever had. On our first visit, I had the Tentassione -- cheesecake with passion fruit. So fresh and delicate, perfect for a hot summer day. My hubby had the tiramisu. I don't like coffee flavors stuff but I liked this flavor.
From what I can understand from their website (it's all in Italian and I'm still learning), they make the gelato in house daily with local ingredients, free of artificial additives. They also had cases full of amazing looking cakes, toppings for the gelato and more. Their hours are great! Even open on Sundays from 11:30am - 11:30pm (during the summer). They have a well maintained Instagram account that highlights their rotating flavor of the week. Be sure to check it out.
Anyone want to place a bet on how many times we're going to visit Elefantina while we're in Italy? It's going to be often! read more
