La Casa Gelato: 218 Gelatos to choose from...

If you are a bit undecided on what flavour you'd like when you go get a gelato, La Casa Gelato may make your head spin with all the flavours that is available inside their shop.

You can sample these flavours to your heart's content before picking up the one you'd love but it is a must to purchase a token to get the sample. A great selling point and quite an experience for the customer as well. For the more adventurous ones, wasabi ice cream or maybe the aged balsamic vinegar might be your thing but I would rather sample them than eat them for my own treat. 

My cousin who came to visit all the ay from Manila did enjoy the experience of trying out different flavours but ended with a regular flavour.
