Elegant "Sundays"

On a day of rest, it’s time to treat yourself to a dessert that is a little more special. It’s called an affogato. This Italian coffee based drink combines two phenomenal Italian pleasures: espresso and gelato (how could you not?!).

Come to Pino Gelato and taste an affogato for yourself! We’ll create one specially for you with your choice of gelato and toppings! Once you’ve tried it and have the desire to be creative; take home your two favorite flavors of gelato and prepare to have some fun!

Here is our traditional affogato to help you get started:




Place two scoops of gelato in bowl or glass: 1 vanilla and 1 chocolate
(maybe 3 scoops... Just because you deserve it J )









Affogato
(Italian for drown) the gelato in 2 shots of espresso.

Add some whipped cream (homemade preferably)


Drizzle your favorite toppings (nuts, fruit, chocolate syrup, etc…)







Grab a palettina spoon and Enjoy!

When you are finished licking your spoon.....
