For someone who had gelato in every city, practically every day of my 2 week trip to Italy and…read moreFrance ... you start to get an idea of good versus not so good gelato. Gelateria Patagonia is definitely doing something right! Skip the romanticism of Romeo & Juliet's grasp on the city of Verona and focus on the gelato here, first off it's located in a great shopping center and there's a line out the door. Great signs!
After managing to find out where the line was after pushing through people, I got my hands on a cup of Amarena and Romeo Baccio. A little fruity gelato to go with something more rich and decadent ... you know, like Romeo ... BACK TO THE GELATO- focus. The gelato has a great thick texture, definitely creamy, not too sweet with great flavors. The Amarena was okay, but the Romeo Baccio was perfection! As I learned from my visits to gelaterias it's that you can't go wrong with the following flavors: pistachio, chocolate, cafe or nocciola (hazelnut) or some kind of variation. Price wise, average with a bigger portion!
Dropping a star at the lack of apparent line, it's more like who's up next gets to place their order and that it gets way too crowded, especially being walking distance from the Arena and Juliet's balcony.
