A Gelato Adventure to Remember
This summer, our team at Niagara Holiday Rentals embarked on what we like to call the “Great Gelato Tasting Adventure.” From classic flavors to exotic new combinations, we sampled them all. And let me tell you, choosing a favorite was an impossible task! Each shop brought its unique flair and taste, making the experience as diverse as it was delicious.
Even Piper Agrees!
Our little adventure wasn’t just for us humans. Piper, our adorable Chihuahua, joined in on the fun with some Puppy Gelato – a special carrot yogurt flavor that she absolutely loved! It’s these little inclusive touches that make our gelato scene so special.
Insider Tips and Local Secrets
Now, a little insider tip for you: Di Carlotta, a local favorite, has two locations in the Old Town. If you find yourself facing a long queue on Queen Street, just remember there’s another shop on Victoria Street waiting to welcome you with open arms (and shorter lines!).
