| Amarena cherry (left), blood orange (right) |
I was downtown this glorious afternoon as I had an appointment at the Pan Pacific Hotel.
Afterwards I passed by Motoretta, a gelato shop my cousin had told me about ages ago and decided today was a good time to try it.
Inside the sunny interior of mustard yellow and red, there was already a line of people in front of me, but gave me time to peruse the list of flavours and there are several.
There's the usual Madagascar vanilla, chocolate, matcha, and hazelnut, but there are other flavours like black sesame, almost tiramisu, Italian custard and akbar mashti (Persian saffron with rosewater and roasted pistachio).
One scoop in a cup is C$7.50 and two is $9.50 so why not two? In a cone is an extra $1.
In the end I chose Amarena cherry and blood orange.
The blood orange was refreshing, but overall the flavour was pretty flat compared to the Amarena cherry because it wasn't a rough mix of cherry and plain flavours punctuated with chunks of actual cherry flesh that gave it a pink colour.
The gelato wasn't too sweet and it was a nice treat on a relatively warm spring day. Will be back!
