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.

A VANCOUVER TRADITION

Did you know that Mario’s Gelati has been a vendor at the Vancouver Folk Festival for 33 years? Two Vancouver institutions coming together for a weekend of great gelato and great music. Be sure to say hello to all our gelato scoopers from July 15-17 at Jericho Park.

PATIO SEASON IS OFFICIALLY OPEN

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 21:45:09 +0000

The BBQ’s have been dusted off and ready for some grilling action. You can’t have a BBQ without some drinks so dazzle your guests with a sorbetto cocktail. This is so easy to make and your guests will be impressed. All you need is a martini glass, a scoop of lemon sorbetto (preferably Mario’s Gelati), a slice of lemon and last but certainly not least 2 ounces of Martini Bianco. Pour the Martini Bianco directly over the scoop of lemon sorbetto and garnish with the slice of lemon.

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

GOING TO THE CHAPEL…

The flowers have started to bloom which means the start of wedding season! Many couples are seeking an alternative to the traditional wedding cake and often inquire if we make Gelato Wedding Cakes. The problem with a gelato wedding cake is that it melts!! By the time you cut the 10th piece you would no longer be serving cake but milkshake. A nice alternative could be to serve one of our specialty portions. All of our portions can be sold by the case at your closest Amato Gelato.

Gelato for breakfast??

Try Something New for 2010! Affogato

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 19:16:32 +0000

January is a month usually reserved for resolutions to help kick off a new year. Why not make one of those resolutions to try something new.

Have you ever tried an Affogato? An Affogato translated from Italian means “drowned in coffee”. We don’t want to drown you in coffee but imagine this… it’s a cold, perhaps rainy day, and you want a treat so you travel to your favourite gelato shop, Amato of course, and allow the staff to combine the rich creamy taste of gelato with a hot shot of espresso. Is there anything better than satisfying a craving for a sweet treat and adding warmth with a hot shot of espresso?

Try it once and you will be back for more! You can even make this dessert at home and wow your guests. Brew some of your favourite coffee but make it extra strong as you only need a small amount then scoop your favourite flavour of Mario’s Gelati into a dish and pour the coffee over top. We recommend vanilla bean but feel free to experiment with some of our other flavours like chocolate or if you are a real coffee lover try our espresso flake gelato. Delizioso!!

Available at all of our retail locations
