I let…read moreout a cry for joy an immediately ran over and tried to figure out how to get that goodness in me. The first attempt I purchased a bottle in one side of the machine and then put it inside the door on the other side of the machine. I inserted the 50 euro for a 1/2 liter and the perfect goodness came pouring out. I extracted the bottle and we drank it right then and there. Oh, the happiness! This is when I knew Italy would truly become home for the next few years. Of course I had to purchase another bottle to take back to our room. There's really nothing like the pure goodness of raw milk! Now I'm on a mission to find other machines like this one in and around our soon to be new home!

There are few things better than chugging down cold, fresh raw milk. This is the vending machine…read morethat enables that sensation. For as little as €1 a litre, you too can take home your own fresh raw milk. Not quite ready to take the plunge? Try a 1/2 liter teaser-taste for €0,50 but be prepared should you realize how easy it is to get that goodness in you. There is a plastic or glass bottle vending machine just next to it. We bring our own bottles, so I don't remember how much an empty bottle is - I think €1 for plastic and €2 for glass. The only reason why this has four stars and not five is because you have to bring change for the milk machine (bottle machine takes paper euro also), which sometimes causes a frantic search through the pockets and car seats. Check it out and try it.

For the holiday season they have prepared candy boxes with different ornaments attached to the top. The ornaments are also a nice quality. One of my favorite things about this store is their coffee!!! I get a macchiatone senza schiuma. It is a delicious coffee without too much milk. The staff is kind and welcoming. The store is always clean and inviting. Some people might struggle with the squatty potty, but if you're local you won't think twice about it. This is becoming a regular spot my husband and I to frequent.

I ended up leaving bc I still needed to eat real food and got my stuff to go. I accidently began to walk out without paying and the guy at the counter was really nice about it, I apologized and he said it was ok. I then went to pay but they didnt accept card so he just let me have the muffin and tea on the house! It was nice of him because he didn't really have to. I would go back because the customer service was so great

Gelato is…read moreeverywhere and we already have some favorites, but in the name of fairness we feel the need to try as many as possible. This way we have a true opinion on gelato in Vicenza. :) This little shop has plenty of outdoor seating and by the looks of what the customers were ordering they have great capaccino as well. There is plenty of foot traffic between the shop and the tables. Also, one of my favorite aspects of this shop is that the tables and chairs are in the street. Cars are only permitted if they have a pass and this section is foot and bike traffic for the most part. The decor inside is fun and refreshing. There's a large wall with a black and white photo of a couple sipping drinks together, some uniquely desinged bum chairs, and some more whimsical art on the walls. Now to the best part.... THE GELATO!!! It was fabulous! I loved my creme caramel and my daughter thought her fragola was great. I will say that she still prefers Pretto's fragola, but loved this one too. The location is worth the experience and the gelato is delicious. If you like people watching this is the spot for you! Another one of my favorite things about Vicenza is that no one is in a hurry to get you out of your seat. So, you can sit back and relax and just take in the view.

Holy moly! Mark July 29th in the history books, folks. Today... Sunday, July 29th... we discovered…read morethe 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!
