La Ruota In Forio

13/03/2025: When I eat out in Barcelona, I generally prefer a gelato 🍨 at an ice cream parlor to a dessert at the restaurant I'm eating at. So Imagine how I feel when I'm in Italy 🇮🇹 ! 🤩 Well, it's not that I think that gelato in Italy 🇮🇹 is better than the one I can find in Barcelona, but Italy still is the country of gelato. So after our first dinner in Napoli 🇮🇹, we of course went to have gelato on our way back to our apartment. The parlor we chose is Mennella, on Corso Umberto I. Mennella is actually a chain 😞, but I didn't know that at the time. The place was empty and they had very few flavors left, unfortunately, as it was quite late... which can also explain why the clerks were so moody: they barely talked, never smiled and didn't want to give us spoons because we ordered cones... 🙄 I really felt like we were bothering them. 😤 The texture of the cream was great and it didn't melt too fast. The cream was not too sweet and all the flavors I tried (crema Mannelle which is peanut & almond, and nocciola & chocolate) were very good... All but... pistachio. 😱 That pistachio gelato probably was the worst, or one of the worst, I've ever had. It simply didn't taste like pistachio. 👎 The price was the best part as, in Italy 🇮🇹, gelato is cheap. We paid €2.8 for a "small" 2-flavor cone, which was already quite big. 👍 Quality & taste: 7/10 Quantities: 9/10 Atmosphere: n/a Originality: 7/10 Ratio price / quality: 9/10 Service: 4/10 How I felt afterwards: 7/10
