Just across the way from Jaqui’s Juke Joint is I Dream of Gelato where I will forever dream of the absolute best gelato I’ve ever eaten, including any Italian neighborhood in the US. Owners Michelle Jafee and her wife Barbara Grasso have something far better than any ice cream joint in town. Michelle prepares the base from scratch and flavors are imported from Italy. Including sorbets, there are 24 flavors to chose from. It is no wonder that Europeans have been flocking here, as they know what should be expected in the way of both taste and consistency.
Gelato, for those who have never tried it, is a sort of cross between ice cream and ices. It contains less fat and less air than ice cream and so is it a bit denser. Fruit gelatos have real fruit and the sorbets contain no dairy. You won’t believe the pink grapefruit sorbet that is extremely creamy: the best hit of vitamin C around! Gelato flavors such as: cherry chocolate (highly recommended), amaretto, tiramisu, peanut butter, chocolate mint, pistachio, banana, apricot and orange, and blueberry (as well as chocolate, vanilla and strawberry).

I met Merle walking down the street in Ptown and what a charcter she is!! As we were talking she asked me if I ever had gelato, told me I absolutley had to try it, then proceded to tell me to go to I Dream Of Gelato.
Couple of days later we went there and we were all impressed! The flavors were unique and we all got to try new stuff. Cant wait to go back next summer.
