When I saw this headline I knew there was going to be trouble! Then as I read, you got everyone of my counter points. Having been in Italy over 3 years now, you can spot the tourist spots right away with the overflowing heaps of “gelato” with all the things added in to appease ice cream lovers. Keep it simple.
I had a transcendent experience in Bologna when I first arrived in Italy at Cremeria Cavour trying the nocciola. It wasn’t just better, it was as if I’d never had “ice cream / gelato” before. During my first taste I stopped, looked at my partner, shocked.
Learn something every day! I agree that gelato is better than ice cream, from the right places. I'm probably in the minority, but the melon (honeydew) gelato in Tuscany is off the charts. You got me dreaming about it :)

Transcendant is exactly right. They REALLY know what they're doing, and they will forever ruin you for enjoying chilled desserts elsewhere. 🥺🫤🤣
Great! Shared
Thank you!
Agreed! But having some difficulty with the "gelato are" usage! Gelato is an uncountable (mass) noun—like water or ice cream—so should be singular.
Ha! I really debated this -- and naturally, opinions are all over the map. I think I went with Wikipedia.... 🤣

Oh I'm with you on melon! Certain flavors translate soooo well, and that's one of them!
