Capogiro

Center City, Philadelphia-- This cutesy gelateria is a great place to come for a quick bite or a sweet ending, any time of day! If the beautiful and unique decor doesn't entice you to enter this establishment, then hopefully the wide array of gelato and sorbet will (372 and counting!). They have a huge assortment of classic and traditional flavors mixed in with innovative and one-of-a-kind creations. Some really distinctive gelato flavors include: Burnt Sugar, Rosemary Honey Goat's Milk, Pineapple Mint, Thai Coconut's Milk, Lime Cilantro, Strawberry Tarragon, and Sea Salt.

While they encourage you to try whatever flavors you desire, I always feel super guilty holding up the line trying a lot. I think the last time I went I tried to taste almost everything...but ended up stopping after 4 or 5. Anyway, the gelato is really really good. It's creamy, perfectly textured, and full of flavor. The only downside is it's a little on the pricey side, but I guess you're paying for the experience. That's why we tried to get flavors we probably couldn't get anywhere else. We got prosecco, cantaloupe (the waitress recommended it and it was sensational-true to its flavor and sweet but not too sugary), watermelon and peach. I remember the pistachio and the dark chocolate being really good too.

Overall Grade:

A- (Steph) - It's pretty much as good as real Italian gelato but with a unique flavor twist. It's a little more expensive than any other frozen treat place around here, but I think it's definitely worth it.

C+ (Louie) - They have a lot of flavors and it tasted really good, but I feel like it's really overpriced.
