Hi everyone, very sorry I haven’t posted in a while. The reason for this is because we are at 98% of our 3 Gigs of photos so I can’t upload too many more photos. After this I may only have one or two posts left. I was going to do the best photos of the trip but now that will not be a possibility – if you want, you can read the whole blog from the beginning. In this post I am going to tell you all about all the gelato we ate in Italy, rank them and score them out of 10. Let’s begin. The photos in this post are in order of worst to best.

P.S. They were all really good, even the worst one was very nice.

13th. Gelateria Gustevole, Gelateria Gustevole was in the city of Lucca. Gustevole was an artisan style gelateria near the iconic square Piazza San Michele. We went there after a long day of exploring the streets of Lucca. At Gustevole I ordered 2 flavours in a cone, Lemon & Cream with Cherry and Chocolate. The flavour was just a little bland for me. My Mom, on the other hand loved her flavour. It was called Napoleone, it was made out of cream, ginger, nuts, and fruit. I would rate Gustevole a 7 out of 10.

12th. Cremeria Monteforte, Cremeria Monteforte was near the Pantheon in Rome. At Cremeria Monteforte I ordered Mango & Bacio (chocolate-hazelnut). It was good but the Bacio had too much chocolate and not enough hazelnut. The photo above shows us with Baby Brooke enjoying our gelato beside the Pantheon. My Mom ordered pistachio & peach. The peach was very good. I would rate Cremeria Monteforte a 7 out of 10. 11th. Gelateria La Carraia, La Carraia was in Firenze (Florence) near our apartment on Piazza dei Peruzzi. At La Carraia I ordered a Raspberry Chocolate flavour. It was good but I didn’t get enough raspberry and the chocolate was a tinch too sweet. La Carraia was a very good gelato place but unfortunately the chocolate and raspberry didn’t really come together and compliment each other. I would rate La Carraia a 7.5 out of 10.10th. Gelateria Veneta Lucca, Gelateria Veneta Lucca was of course in Lucca, it was right off the big square called Piazza Anfiteatro. At Veneta they gave big portions of 3 flavours so me and my Dad shared with each other, we got Rocher (chocolate hazelnut), Lemon, and Coconut. It was delicious. I would rate Gelateria Veneta Lucca an 8 out of 10.9th. Sorbetteria Castiglione, Sorbetteria Castiglione was a gelato place in the Italian city of Bologna. Castiglione had a very nice environment and a great outdoor seating area. At Castiglione I ordered Passion Fruit or in Italian, Maracuja, and Hazelnut or in Italian, Nocciola. Denise liked Castiglione because they gave her a free balloon. I would rate Sorbetteria Castiglione an 8 out of 10.8th. Gelateria Brivido, Gelateria Brivido was right beside the main square in the historic city of Siena. Brivido looked very popular and we were in the mood for gelato so we went for it.  Since Brivido gave big portions we ordered 3 flavours to share. We got Tutto Bosco (forest fruit), Mint, and Coffee. The Tutto Bosco and Mint were really good, I don’t like the flavour of coffee but my parents said it was sensational. Brivido did not have their prices posted so we were a little skeptical and when the bill came out it was 6.50 euros each ($9.75  CAD)!!! I would rate Gelateria Brivido an 8 out of 10.7th. Caffe Maraviglia, Caffe Maraviglia was just off Piazza San Michele in Lucca. At Caffe Maraviglia I ordered Frutti di Bosco (forest fruit) and Bacio (chocolate hazelnut). The combo of the berries and the rich nutty chocolate was scrumptious. Caffe Maraviglia was just a small place but it was very good. I would rate Caffe Maraviglia an 8.5 out of 10. 6th. Cremeria Santo Stefano, Cremeria Santo Stefano was on Via San Stefano in Bologna. Santo Stefano was decorated kind of like an old-timey candy shop. At Cremeria Santo Stefano I ordered Chocolate Biscuit Cake and Mango. I really liked Cremeria Santo Stefano. I would rate Cremeria Santo Stefano an 8.5 out of 10.5th. Gelateria del Teatro, Gelateria del Teatro was a recommended gelato place in the Italian capital, Roma. At Gelateria del Teatro I ordered Maracuja (Passion Fruit) and Nocciola (Hazelnut). Denise ordered Canella  (Cinnamon) and Ananas Menta (Pineapple Mint). I would rate Gelateria del Teatro an 8.5 out of 10.4th. Gelateria del Cavour, Gelateria del Cavour was in the city of Bologna in the Province of Emilia Romagna. The gelato at Gelateria del Cavour was very creamy and delicious. There I got Bacio (chocolate hazelnut) and Nocciola (hazelnut). Cavour had very high end decor and was very chic. It was Becca’s first gelato in Italy. I would rate Gelateria del Cavour an 8.5 out of 10.3rd. Gelatiamo, Gelatiamo was in the heart of Lucca. We went to Gelatiamo after a long day of biking and it was a good reward. At Gelatiamo I ordered Tutto Bosco (you already know) and their special: Gelatiamo (chocolate hazelnut mint). Denise got Tutto Bosco and After 8. Gelatiamo had a wide flavour selection. I would definitely recommend it if you’re in Lucca. I would rate Gelatiamo a 9 out of 10.2nd. Gelateria Edoardo, Gelateria Edoardo was a small gelato place right beside the Duomo in Firenze (Florence). It was our first gelato in Italy so maybe that had an impact on my rating. I ordered chocolate and stracciatella in a crispy cup (a cup made out of cone). I would rate Gelateria Edoardo a 9 out of 10.1st! Gelateria Fatamorgana, Gelateria Fatamorgana was a little gelato place near the Vatican in Rome. Before going into the museums of the Vatican we stopped for some gelato at Fatamorgana. It had been recommended in the Lonely Planet. They had many original and unique flavours. I ordered Lampone (raspberry) and Nocciola. Other flavours my family ordered were Sicilian Almond and Pineapple Ginger. I would rate Gelateria Fatamorgana a…..10 out of 10 (and 2 thumbs up)!
