I have a sixth sense when it comes to gelato. If there is good gelato to be had, I will find it! On this particular day, we had taken the Steam Train to Castletown and came upon a summertime festival in the centre of town. Not to be distracted by an ice cream truck… I continued around a corner, through an archway and came upon Isle of Gelato by the sea. What followed was quite a humorous but still heated discussion about the difference between scoops and the number of flavours (which apparently determines the size of cone). The passionate Italian serving me had clearly had enough of people asking for scoops - and proceeded to explain more loudly ‘NO SCOOPS’. I was not to be deterred as I wanted to buy us all gelato. So I persevered, course corrected, asked for flavours and all was well. It’s worth a visit if you are in Castletown as it is authentic Italian gelato.👌 Just don’t ask for scoops!
