• A gay entrance area venue?
  • Apparently Pappagone is not sold and is not changing hands.

    Only the ice cream.

    I just spoke to Marco. They had a really, really big offer, and thought about it for a long time. But they decided to stay and not to sell up. It turned out to be an offer they could refuse....

    Hooray!
  • So why did they kick out Ariela then?
    I will be staying loyal to her project in the forthcoming heatwave.
  • I'd also heard last time I was in that they were thinking about an offer but had yet to accept. Good news that they've declined!

    Weird about the gelato change, though.

  • SGR is now awash with ice-cream places - Pappagone, Ariela in her new (though I have to say slightly incongruous) setting, and I see there's some in the deli place at the SGR/ Tollington crossroads. I for one feel compelled to keep trying them all.

  • .... and I see there's some in the deli place at the SGR/ Tollington crossroads.

    I make that two places! The deli (on SGR) next to Christopher Charles and The Coffee Haven deli (on Tollington) next to Davies and Davies.
  • Dulce de Leche.

  • I had chocolate and dolce latte last night from Ariela and I tried limetta - I thought the limetta wasn't all that and I thought the green stuff on top was rather offputting, but the others were nice.

  • Banana is ace !
  • My best ever flavour for Italian ice cream is almond, which I had in Sicily but never find here. If Ariela's reading, almond would bring me in every time, despite the proximity to greasy fry-ups.

  • I had one some passion fruit from Ariela which was okay but, spookily, there were no seeds.

    Ariela - can we have seeds?

    Mmmm - the Sicilians know how to eat ice cream - shed loads of it stuffed into a fat brioche.

    Ariela - can we have brioche?

Howdy, Stranger!
