Marco Polo Italian Ice Cream - San Francisco

I know it's cold in SF but that doesn't mean you can't eat ice cream. This is a gelato shop with a Chinese name that got translated into English. They have a lot of different flavors of gelato here. If you want to be daring, get the durian gelato. My friend got one of the flavors that was in the same freezer as the durian and I swear, it smelled like she was having the durian gelato. They have tables and chairs inside and the noise level is low so you can hang out in there. If you're in the neighborhood, you should definitely stop by for a treat.

La Gelateria

This is a whole in the wall shop but they whip up some really good gelato. They have gelato sorbets and creamy gelatos. The single scoop containers are $2 and the big containers are $4 (sorbet) and $5 (creamy). There are some unique flavors like black sesame and pandan. I go with the safe flavors like green tea, mango, pineapple coconut, and vanilla.

The downside is they're only open Monday to Friday from 8am-5pm. If you really want to try their gelato you can get it from Nordstrom. There's a gelato bar on the ground floor and all their gelato is from this place.
