that was a hot summer in mid 2000’s we were strolling around in bergamo, 1 hour-drive from milano. we kept walking enjoying the sunshine and admiring the fashionable locals on the street until we saw a looong line in front of a gelato joint. without hesitation, we joined the queue. and my... it was obviously definitely the most delicious gelato i have ever tasted in my life. fast forward 2016 when i was ‘stranded’ in brisbane, i went to a few gelato joints in town before finding this gem. i have to say that la macelleria gelato is the closest to the gelato i tasted in italy. it’s soft and fresh and you can even still enjoy it in a cold winter night. my favourites are: pistacchio, cioccolato, tiramisù, coffee, cassata siciliana, malaga, bacio and caramello salato. and don’t forget to add a gelato filled cannoli to complete your treat!
