Why aren’t there more good gelato places in SoCal? Bulgarini shut down in CC a few months back. Both times I went there it was pretty empty. Outside of Grom and Bulgarini not many great gelato joints.
Ice cream on the other hand seems to be ubiquitous in SoCal
Scoops
Sweet Rose
Salt n Straw
McConnell’s
Jeni’s (did they ever reopen)
Fosselmans
Carmela
Milk
Coolhaus
Any under the radar gelato places with good fruit flavored gelato? 90 degree days around Halloween just scream for good gelato.
The pistachio at Bulgarini is my favorite gelato of all time. Never had the pistachio at Mozza but will be on the lookout.
I love the gelato at Mozza but was thinking more of casual to go. For some reason I feel like the gelato is better at Eataly in NY than Otto or Mozza although I assume (maybe wrongly) that the recipes and ingredients must be very similar if not identical.
Uli looks pretty good will have to give it a try soon. Having a very hard time finding any good gelato in the OC.
Jeni’s is open. We had some great flavors yesterday. The black currant and passion fruit frozen yogurts were great. My husband enjoyed their red raspberry sorbet and the salted peanut butter with chocolate was a nice contrast to all the tart flavors we picked.
Indeed. Right now they have excellent fig and strawberry sorbetti. I also enjoy their Torte Siciliana w/ sheep’s milk ricotta, candied citrus, and almonds.
I’ll have to try the gelato place at fashion island since you both recommend it but I hope you’re not f-cking with me Kevin. Geez that’s a real inconvenient spot for gelato.
