Gelateria K2
Straciatella, Zabaglione, Pistachio on Chocolate Nut Waffle Cone
Straciatella, Mint, Fior di Latte
Not particularly “hungry” when exiting the Cathedrale di Parma, an old joke about “Ice Cream fills in the cracks” echoing somewhere in my brain, Gelateria K2 proved to be fortuitously located nearby on Strada Benedetto Cairoli, the artisan shop opened in 1954 embracing old-world methods of production with floral presentations provided atop house-made Cones .
Small in size with each flavor made daily and served from metal containers at prices ranging €2,50-€4,50 depending on number of scoops, it was with two Chocolate-dipped cones tallying just €9 that the quickly melting bouquets were taken outside for enjoyment, the pale-green Pistachio creamy, dense and not overly sweetened while Zabaglione, Fresh Cream and Straciatella were equally well crafted, Mint not particularly appealing to me in this situation, but well received by those who tried it.
