Gelato LaCarraia · International Drive

The Write-Up

The full story

Gelato LaCarraia is a cozy, quaint Dr. Phillips scoop shop guests call a taste of Florence in Orlando. The gelato comes dense and creamy in the Italian way: benchmark pistachio, the Sinfonia Carraia and a gentle lavender, easy to finish as an affogato or beside a Nutella crepe. The welcome is unhurried, and the staff are happy to let you taste your way to the right flavor.

A hotel in the boondocks, a road paved after it and named to sound big and important, and the corridor that taught Orlando how to be a vacation.
