I've been really looking forward to pistachio gelato so I got excited when I learned it was available. Felt a little sad because it didn't taste quite as I'd expected. :( Good thing the bf finished it for me. He said it was okay.

Passed by this small Gelato place and I saw pasta on their menu. It looks like a legit Italian place, so I order pasta amatriciana for take. Basic ingredients:penne pasta sautéed in tomatoes, porchetta with a hint of white wine in pomodoro sauce topped with parmesa cheese. Simple, basic and fresh ingredients will bring delight in each bite. Definitely worth the try.

I will forever associate this place with my friend who once burned what little money he had for gelato. How much was it? Well, it's a hundred pesos for a scoop! The place in question? It's called Gelatone.You can choose to hang out inside the store or just buy gelato-on-the-go from the salesperson who mans the stall outside. Since I was supposed to meet a friend, I chose the latter. The glass shelf was a sight to behold. Really, what's up with the gelatos? Why do they look so lovely that one look is enough to have you drooling? My friend ordered, Pistachio. I didn't get to taste it but according to him it was really good. Considering he is a picky eater, I'm taking his word for it.I, on the other hand, went for the Coffee flavor. If there is one thing I am sure of about gelatos is that they taste way better than regular ice cream; this one wasn't an exception. It is oh so creamy and the coffee taste though present, was not overwhelming. It was just a scoop, but it was sure a big one. Surprisingly, it didn't melt fast so it was a joy to eat.Yes, we picked common (boring) flavors but give us a break. It was our first time buying from Gelatone and it was PHP100 a scoop so we weren't feeling adventurous. There is a 10-peso discount by the way if you're buying two scoops so that's PHP90. And you can have it by a kilo, that's PHP990, for half a kilo that's PHP550. If you choose to dine in you have to deal with the additional charge for their service.One hundred per scoop is still a tad too much for me but at least I get to try it. Let's just say that it's one of those things that I'd do when I have extra moolah.
