This sleek chain is…read morepart of the Freddo/Un Alta Volta family (each of these businesses having had the same principals, not necessarily at the same time). That being the case, I wasn't very impressed by the classic dulce de leche flavor. It was rich and sweet, a little too soft, but mostly just didn't have enough dulce de leche smokiness. Some of their other flavors were excellent. Try the Tramontana - with streaks of dulce de leche in a vanilla base, and chocolate-covered biscuit balls the size of almonds scattered throughout. I rarely go for fruity flavors, but the Merengatta was also terrific, extremely creamy (could it be mascarpone-based?) and swirled with fresh, bright-tasting strawberry. The doorknob to the ground floor restroom had broken off, so I felt like I was going to fall to my death when going up the spiral staircase to the other restrooms. Shoddy construction aside, the space is very bright and clean. Worth a visit? It shouldn't be first on your helado tour - especially considering that they're noticeably more expensive than other heladerias. But if you come across a Persicco branch while walking the city (and you probably will), definitely go in and try some of their signature flavors.

Service: I was looking for alfajores to bring back to the states. An older woman seemed annoyed with me and was not friendly during our interaction. Cost: She shouted a price to an older man who rang me up. I didn't pay much attention to the price until I saw the charge on my credit card. It was $27 for 4 alfajores. This is way above an average cost so I feel they took advantage of a tourist who is not fluent in Spanish. Taste: I had one and had given the others to friends. No one enjoyed them. All they did was crumble with each bite and make a mess. Do not visit this place as you will get ripped off, have poor service and not receive a tasty treat. Servicio: Buscaba alfajores para llevar a Estados Unidos. Una señora mayor parecía molesta conmigo y no fue amable durante nuestra interacción. Costo: Le gritó el precio a un señor mayor que me cobró. No le presté mucha atención hasta que vi el cargo en mi tarjeta. Eran $27 por 4 alfajores. Esto está muy por encima del precio promedio, así que creo que se aprovecharon de un turista que no habla español con fluidez. Sabor: Probé uno y les había dado los demás a mis amigos. A nadie le gustaron. Lo único que hicieron fue desmoronarse con cada bocado y hacer un desastre. No vayan a este lugar, los estafarán, les darán un mal servicio y no recibirán un bocadillo delicioso.
