especially in the
form of a beautiful rose.
Yes, you read that
correctly, gelato in the shape of a rose.
You can find this so
called rose shaped gelato at Amarino in Chicago.
After hearing about this place, I HAD to add it to our itinerary
while we were back in the Windy City. Amarino is downtown, and we didn’t have
that much trouble finding parking. We went later in the afternoon; I would say
around 5 p.m. and found Amarino to be especially empty.
When you enter the double sliding doors (cool touch) you
will be right in front of their gelato selections. They have a wide selection. We
came for the rose, but you are able to get a simple bowl instead as well.
When finally deciding
what flavors we wanted we ended up with Pistachio, cookie butter, and
chocolate. The flavors went very well together.
We watched in awe as
the server sculpted a beautiful rose master piece in front of us.
It turned out so
pretty!
Not only did it look pretty, the flavors were very good. My
personal favorite from our selections was the cookie butter. Just thinking
about it makes me hungry. The gelato came in a waffle cone, and was plenty big enough
for us both to share. We each grabbed a cute, small, ice cream tasting spoon
from the counter and dug right in. They offer different sized roses just like
they do regular cones. We went with the medium size and it was the perfect
amount for us.
Amarino also offers macaroons! What could be better?
We picked out two pistachio- one each. And they did not disappoint.
All in all, Amarino is amazing! It's definitely worth a stop!
Be on the lookout for another blog coming very soon!
