Classic Gelato Flavors Worth Seeking Out
A great gelato case tells you a lot about a shop. Look for the classics done well: a deep, nutty pistachio (it should be a muted green, not bright — real pistachio isn't neon), a creamy stracciatella shot through with chocolate shards, and a bright lemon sorbet that tastes like the fruit itself.
Seasonal flavors are where artisan shops shine. Summer brings stone-fruit sorbets and fresh berry; the cooler months invite richer flavors like hazelnut, dark chocolate and salted caramel.
Don't be afraid to ask for a taste before you commit. Any good gelato shop in Las Vegas will happily let you sample before you choose.
