Late this afternoon Kristy and I went and checked out another Fred Plotkin suggestion, Giolitti. It is an old gelato and pastry shop, and it is really pretty amazing. I love how old fashioned it is. I had a melon granita that was topped with some grapefruit. The grapefruit tasted very sour and was almost a bit much for me in that department. The melon was very sweet, but it was tempered by tiny cubes of candied orange rind that would give it some bite. It was a great experience all around. I can't wait to try the gelato, I was just so thirsty at the moment that the granita seemed best. Luckily, this shop is also by the Pantheon and the kick-ass coffee shop. And our studio! It will be visited frequently, I am sure.
