I still think the ice cream here is overpriced especially when I can go to the grocery store and buy more for cheaper. I had never seen this flavor before so I had to try it. It was actually really good! I guess part of the cost is getting unique flavors that you can’t buy at the store.

Tordomatto, Rome ITALY

This was a super creative dessert, but I’m not sure that it was successful overall. I loved that it mimicked the look of an egg, but it didn’t feel satisfying on the mouth. The gelatin cellophane was odd and didn’t allow the other ingredients to blend. I liked the flavor of the dessert though.

Yum, this gelato was really good! I wish I could walk around Rome just trying out all the little gelato shops and all their different flavors. I would become quite obese, but at least I’d be happy!

Sacher cake – El Rincon de Pepe

Sacher cake - El Rincon de Pepe
With bitter orange and cream ice cream. Menu of the day €16.50
El Rincon de Pepe, Sitges SPAIN

This cake was interesting. It was on the dry and crumbly side, and I’m not sure if it was supposed to be. I think it worked out fine because of the bitter orange syrup and ice cream, but it would have been a disappointment on its own.
