Quest for the Perfect Gelato pt. 2: Amorino

The Next stop on our gelato tour of Paris is Amorino.

After taking a couple of metros we got to a very cool part of town - very artsy with lots of neat little cafes. Amorino stood perched on the corner in a rustic and inviting chocolate brown shop with cupids gracing all of their confections. Eagerly we got in line for a taste. Customers exited before us clutching massive gelatos in the shape of luscious roses as we inched forward in anticipation.

I got a combination of two flavors for which they are best known. Amorino - the shops namesake. A rich chocolate with hints of hazelnut. I used this flavor as the petals of the rose. For the core of the rose and the most abundant amount of gelato I got Amarana. Amorino's most favored selection - a mass of sour wild cherries in a velvety wash of light custard gelato. This is my favorite flavor in Paris!

The cupids on the wrapper happily pronounce to the world just how heavenly a treat the gelato is from Amarino .
