#GelatoNights at Morelli’s Gelato

It was a rainy evening , I was feeling cold when I entered the shop.  I sat down for a bit to settle down. I looked at the menu and glanced at the gigantic servings of gelato on the other table beside me.  I hesitated for a second “Am I ready for a cold gelato on this cold rainy night?”.

My host was very kind to notice I was a bit chilled he offered me coffee or something warm first .  After all, Morelli’s does not only serve great tasting gelatos that will take your memories back to childhood, but they also serve artisanal coffes that will invigorate and sooth your senses at the same time.  Highly recommended is their Soft Vanila Affogato , Caramello or Morelli’s Cappuccino.  I declined the coffee though,  as it was a bit late for coffee for me. My coffee tolerance is not as high as other writers.  I can only take one coffee a day.

Bowsing through the menu I saw a couple of sweets for my sweet tooth.  I stood up and had a taste test of each flavor available on display, they have a wide array of choices.  while you can order per scoop, you can also order per what they recommend in their menu, they are tried and tested mix of flavors that suits everyone preferences.

Take for example The Bacio Sundae which is a mix of cholate, hazelnut, and soft vanilla gelato adorned with chocolate truffle, Piedmonte hazelnuts, Magnum Choclate swirls, and hazelnut sauce in a chocolate cup topped with fresh whipped cream!  YUM!

After my taste testing, I actually felt warm.  I’ve always wanted to eat on the “couple’s cup” that I always see when I pass by Morelli’s Gelato in Edsa Shangri-la Mall East Wing, so that’s the one I ordered for myself.  The Amore Cup has two different flavors the other cup has the chocolate, hazelnut, vanilla mix and the other cup has the berry flavors with strawberry, cherry and vanilla.  It was actually the perfect cup for me as it has both worlds, fruity and chocolatey.

Fortunately , I did not have to go through the date yourself #gelatonights as I had MJ to share my Amore Cup with.

I think we had a bit of sugar high and I think it was the perfect night cap to have a Gelato Baileys, an after dinner after work dessert with a booze.  It’s really good!

If you plan to take your kids there, there’s something for them too, Morelli’s Banana Split is a classic or the Hot Fudge Sundae.  Or well they can pick one scoop after another .  Kids can never say no to ice cream!
