gelaterias
Frozen Italian treat shops
Gelaterias are shops that specialize in selling gelato, the Italian style of ice cream known for its dense, creamy texture and intense flavors.
The word is the anglicized plural of the Italian *gelateria*.
These establishments typically display their gelato in open cases, often with the product mounded dramatically, and serve it in cups or cones.
We found a charming gelateria near the piazza.
