Paciugo West Village

This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 percent less fat than typical ice cream. Try up to three flavors in your cup or cone, from crowd pleasers like stracciatella (that’s a fancy way of saying chocolate chip), pistachio, and Mediterranean sea-salt caramel to more intriguing flavors like bubblegum, rose and beer sorbet. There’s also at least one soy-based flavor on offer every day, for you poor lactose-intolerant folk.
