The Gelato is truly amazing and made with fresh fruits. The fridge full of fruits is the proof. The lady serving the cones was so nice and cheerful it made the experience even nicer. There were a lot of kids lined up while we were there it was end of school time. I got the red orange and the gold kiwi, not a popular combo but the fruit flavor is so dense it feels like eating the fruit itself. The shop is tiny but it was bright and clean and attractive. Definitely would come back for other flavors. Very convenient right across from our hotel Joy 124. read more

In a sea of gelato tourist traps...it was quite refreshing to try some true artisanal gelato. If you are a real foodie don't be fooled by thinking that any gelato in Italy will be good and authentic, even if it says "authentico"... trust me I learned this the hard way my first time in Italy. Prossima Fermata is just a short walk from the central train station, but probably not something you would stumble across accidentally on your normal tourist path, but trust me it's worth the 5-10 min time investment if you want some serious gelato. No dyes, preservatives, or other artificial ingredients, just real gelato flavored with natural, seasonal produce. They even have a poster displaying which month each flavor can be available based on.....(drumroll) the months the fruit is at its peak and most readily available. My personal favorites were the melon, cinnamon-ginger (if you like ginger...this is a very unique and amazing combo...gotta try it), and some honey or caramelized fig heaven-in-my mouth flavor. There are of course other authentic gelato places in Milano/Italy that are equally as mind blowing...just don't be fooled by the places downtown that use bright dyes and fancy fruit decorations to entice you. I got some good advice on my second Italy trip regarding scouting out good gelato: Remember real gelato is made with real seasonal ingredients...which means pear favored gelato should actually be fairly dull in color with perhaps a few flecks from the skin showing here and there...not bright green, you shouldn't see strawberry offered in the winter, and "smurf blue" gelato should never be offered. To ease your search, if you find yourself anywhere near the stazione centrale on your next trip to Milan, make your "prossima fermata" (next stop) at the Prossima Fermata. read more

Oh. My. Goodness. What a hidden gem. Fresh gelato that could only be homemade. Flavor options are available by month, so they are always fresh. Some of the best gelato any of us have ever experienced. Ever. read more
