I would first want to say that L'Arte del Gelato was a big milestone for me. As someone who had a weird sensory distain for ice cream growing up, due to temperature and texture, L'Arte del Gelato was the first place where I had actually enjoyed the serving and would happily finish a scoop.
My all time favorite flavor from them is their olive oil flavor. Anyone I have recommended to in the past had their reservations but as soon as they had it, they very quickly became a fan.
This was the first time that I had their olive oil, serving in probably two years. I was very excited to show my partner, who is a big foodie, what ice cream broke the barrier for me.
I was expecting the price jump due to inflation, but unfortunately, the olive oil scoop we got had next to nothing flavor. There was a very slight hint of something extra in the scoop, but it wasn't the obviously tasting olive oil that I've had years prior.
It might sound crazy for me to go this hard on a review for ice cream, but I was really disappointed with what I got during our last visit due to the personal importance this booth means to me. I'm not sure if it was the batch that was lacking... but given how things are generally subsidized after the pandemic, I hope that this might have been a fluke experience.
It also sucks that the olive oil flavor is seasonal, but that I understand. We won't be able to come back here until next year, so I hope that we perhaps have a different experience then!
