Amorino has the Gelato

 Oh gelato, you make me smile,
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!
Tasty~

Roosters, it's an Ohio thing!

We are so proud to be from Ohio for so many reasons, and Roosters being one of them!  Roosters is a restaurant that only 'Ohioans' or Ohio visitors know about. It's not a five star fancy schmansy restaurant, just a tasty and fun place to eat at on a weekend or after a long days work. The famous slogan really speaks for itself "A fun, casual, joint", but it doesn't happen to mention the delicious food they have available!  We are regular Rooster customers, we usually go a couple of times a month. We usually stick with our favorites from the menu, but you really can't go wrong with anything they have to offer. Whether it's the loaded nachos, a burger, or their tender boneless wings dipped in your choice of TOP OF THE LINE wing sauce, you wont be disappointed. Most of the time we go with the boneless wings drenched in tangy sweet Thai chili sauce. The quality of the meat is unbeatable, but the big kicker for us is the sauce. The sweet...

10 Jeni's Flavors you Don't Wanna Miss

A take on ten flavors of Jenis, no it did not take us long to make this list.. case in point, Jenis ice cream is fabulous. 10 mouth watering flavors: (Buttery Popcorn to the left, and Caramel Almond to the right) Buttery Popcorn In lamest terms, the best. Seriously. I loved this flavor. I'm not going to say I'm a huge popcorn person, but this definitely put a smile on my face. The ice cream was smooth, yet tasted exactly like kettle corn.
