We have also just received a new shipment of Panettone.  Come on by and check out the different flavours and sizes.  The small ones are perfect as stocking stuffers or for when you get the afternoon munchies!!  For those of you who are not familiar with Panettone it is a traditional Italian sweet bread loaf.  It is usually served at Christmas and Easter time with a glass of champagne.  However, it is also delicious with a scoop of gelato and a cup of tea or cappuccino.

Dino Falvo scoops out some chocolate peanut butter gelato (Italian-style ice cream) at Amato Gelato in Kensington.
 
 Some years, summer seems best savoured little by little. If you’re staying home this summer, here are a few tasty ways to lick the heat and celebrate the season, in and around the city:
  • Try one of myriad delicious gelato (Italian-style ice cream) and sorbetto flavours at Amato Gelato Cafe in Kensington (2104 Kensington Rd. N.W., amatogelato. com, 403-270-9733). The lemon sorbetto is so good, you’ll almost be fooled into believing you’re in Italy. Most popular flavour: Chocolate peanut butter. “I probably go through 25 litres of it a day, year round,” says Dino Falvo, the store’s general manager.

    Refreshing on a hot summer day and a nice alternative to the classic martini.  Enjoy!
