Downtown Rogers has a new dessert spot, and I went just to get the scoop.
🍨 State of play: Gelatissimo's first Arkansas location is serving up gelato, the ice cream-like Italian treat, across from the Railyard Park in a storefront with bright pink and orange decor. Just right for taking the kids, going after dinner or stopping by after a farmer's market run.
🏆 What to try: You won't go wrong with any flavor that speaks to you. A scoop of the pistachio and the ube in one cup proved to be a winning flavor combo. Ube is a purple yam, and it makes for a rich dessert flavor that works with the nuttiness of the pistachio.
- The flavors in general are pretty intense, so I loved the espresso gelato because I love espresso. If you don't love espresso, it's not for you.
🍓 Zoom out: Gelatissimo is vegan-friendly, offering nine fruity flavors of sorbet like mango, strawberry and coconut.
📍 Stop by: 11am-9pm Sunday through Thursday and 11am-10pm Friday and Saturday at 226 S. 1st St. in Rogers
