La Gelateria

One of the best places in the Cedar-Fairmount district is La Gelateria. Cedar Fairmount is a great place to walk around and look at shops, get a bite to eat, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the area. Parking gets a little dicey, but if you park in the lot behind Aladdin's you should be fine.

For those who have not had gelato before, it's a lot like ice cream, except thicker and richer. My friend and I split the small size and it was plenty for both of us. There are tons and tons of flavors: we enjoyed the chocolate and the strawberries and cream. The decor is cheesy, adorable and romantic: there are pictures on the walls of famous paintings with a gelato twist. It's a very cute place: friends of mine used to skip class in high school and come here.

This first picture here is of the Na Ting, which is an appetizer you have to get. My friend and I split it and it was absolutely delicious. You get little squares of fried, crisped rice and this savory soup mixture to go on top. 

The menu is a small novel, so there's an awful lot of choices in what to get.  The flavors in the dishes were very complex, each of them like a unique symphony of tastes all going together!

The iced coffee was also very strong and very good. I would definitely go back!

Note well: They don't accept credit cards (Although I hear a rumor that they secretly do; the minimum is $15 so be sure to bring enough cash!) 

They are located right next to the West Side Market so you can just park in the market parking lot, go out to eat, and then shop at the market afterwards!
