Solociccia. Quite possibly the best restaurant in the world. This is no exaggeration. In Italy, specifically Panzano, there is a butcher by the name of Dario Cecchini who owns and runs a restaurant called Solocicca. The restaurant is designed in a very original way - it's a house with several different tables in separate unique rooms...

So here’s a morsel that will make your mouth water!

I had the spectacular chance to study abroad in Florence, Italy for six weeks and stumbled upon these brightly colored sweets. You’ve heard of gelato right? The creamy and cold, ice cream-like dessert that packs enough sugar to give an elephant a head rush? Well a few brilliant street vendors have put it in popsicle form! As with any gelato they were fantastic!


Now here’s something you might not know, Italians INSIST that gelato is NOT ice cream. If you ask for ice cream, the man or woman behind the brightly lit counter piled high with bright piles of crazy flavors, will tell you as much. They take pride in their gelato, and for good reason too!

Gelato is much smoother and slightly softer and less icy than American ice cream. Not to mention it also comes in a huge spectrum of flavors! From cookie flavor, to honeydew, to the best dark chocolate that I have ever encountered! I’ll take gelato over boring old ice cream any day, maybe an Italian gelato maker will adopt me…

I died and went to sugar heaven! Gelato- Lemon flavored and definitely worth the 2 Euro!
