Amarino: Gelato likea mamma used to make


After a dinner at a vegan restaurant it's only natural that your thoughts turn immediately to food. I mean, it's tasty and all but a plate of broccoli, carrots and brown rice just doesn't quite do it. We decided ice cream was our only saviour and luckily, the finest gelato place Soho could muster arose from the fog to greet our sugar-starved eyes. 

Amorino.



To my wonderment, the ice-cream man said I could put as many flavours as I wanted in my little copa. He became my best friend, ever. I was so excited my hands are a bit wobbly taking the picture, but below you will see I managed to squish in four. It was £3.20, which is enough for one and a half Magnum Temptations in fairness. But far far better. 


Blackberry, biscuit, coffee and chocolate. You had to be there to really understand how good these were, but rest assured we were left standing on the street drinking the dregs from the cups like winos from a gin bottle.
