In Italian, gelato is the common word for all kinds of ice creams, but in English, it refers to a frozen dessert of Italian origin. A bit of a mind pretzel, but if you think this is mind-boggling, wait till you actually try gelato. Although it may often be mistaken for a good scoop of ice cream, the richness and density of this dessert causes it to linger on your tongue for long.
If you have not tried it yet, you are truly missing out on something. Here are two places in Goa that serve the kind of gelato that will have you returning for a triple serving!
