Late Night Gelato
There’s no neighborhood bar where I live, but what we lack in cheap drinks and dirty floors, we make up for with excellent gelato. Al Gelato is home to some of the best desserts L.A. has to offer including gargantuan pies, Italian cookies and authentic gelato. Served in a simple metal bowl (complete with a little doily), I always leave questioning why I don’t own an entire set of ice cream dishes at home.

I went also yesterday eve for a really good gelato, but here in Milan, where I visit my boyfriend. We usually go this place called “Crazy Ice” because there you can find completely stupid tastes like basilica, beer, tomato to laugh about and amazingly good tastes to enjoy
omg. that’s seems so yummy! well, your post is always yummy :p
Oh my god that looks absolutely delicious
that looks amazing! Yum
two spoons…..you had to share…..aaaahhhhh too bad!!
That looks good…but it doesn’t look like gelato!
Chocolate ice cream is my ultimate weakness.
mmmm. That looks delicious!
I was like, oh my god, I could never eat that myself… then I saw the two spoons! We have an excellent sundae spot around the corner here as well, although I usually prefer going out for vino instead.
it looks really yummy!

you look beautiful as ever and i love these metal bowls. i totally need to invest in a set of ice cream dishes. how fun would that be?
yes, yes to ice cream dishes! so sweet.
I would be TWICE my current size if such a place were within walking distance of my house. Yum.
Emily, you always manage to make me crave all kinds of foods, even at 7am. Yum.
Looks delicious! I love the doily, haha.
do tell who your necklace is??
that gelato is so mouthwatering!
i look gelato, too bad we dont have any places like that here, so we have to purchase it from food marts, ha. xo ash
We took a post dinner outing there ourselves this week. A fave. Delish! (Right now I’m hooked on a raspberry and chocolate sorbet situation. mmmm)
That looks heavenly… !
Oh boy! Gelato is my weakness, too. I recently had an ice cream sandwich made with anise pizzelles (each with a generous schmear of Nutella!) and strawberry gelato. Hands down one of the best desserts I’ve ever eaten. I’m craving it all the time now!
That looks sooo good. There’s a great gelato place near my apartment as well, and I love it
mmmm, looks so good!

I’ve always wanted a complete set of ice cream dishes myself. They’re just so soda fountain inspired and adorable.
I am going to have to try that out this weekend, that looks fabulous! thanks for sharing!!
The little doily is such a cute little addition to the ice cream. I think that is super cute. We have some places like that here in Florida, but nothing extra special from them.
I think maybe just one or two ice cream cup/saucers would work? I agree though, it does add charm to the already delicious gelato!
I just had a banana split yesterday! With pumpkin cheesecake, praline pecan, and NY cheesecake–yum. And yes, sundae dishes at home make dessert taste that much better.
your top has great sleeves. and your dessert looks nummy!

I NEED to move to LA soooooon!
Perfection! That looks too good.
yum yum!! i was shoving my face with ben and jerrys last night but i should have gotten off my butt and gotten some gelato!
YUM.
I think this gelatto is worth the 40 minute drive I have just to make it to LA. Hmmmm, yes. Putting this on my “to do” list. =]
Jealous!
Wait, did you actually share that dairy product?
Oh, my chocolate craving just increased 10 fold
omg! i usually satisfy my chocolate cravings with lindt truffles but that dish of yumminess looks just as satisfying!
how nice of you to share! when it comes to gelato, my boyfriend would be on his own

All right, now I need to go out and get me some ice cream. NOW.

You´re so cute in this picture!!!
Kisses.
i could eat that by myself. now i know where i’m going tonight! (not LA but the gelato hotspot near me
This look YUMMY!!!! Wish we had one in our little town!
I love Al Gelato! There devil’s food cake is amazing too. And there pizza, pasta and meatballs! OK I think I love just about everything about that place.
i would highly recommend pazzo gelato in silverlake. Not only is there gelato absolutely delicious, the sorbets are heavenly.
ohhhh gelato is so nice to share!!
i’m always reading your blog & decided it was high time to finally comment!!
i just started up my own blog & added your blog as one of my favourites.
check mine out if you get the chance!

Such a pretty presentation! I cannot see gelato without automatically reminiscing about Italy, where we had gelato at least once a day, if not twice. It’s amazing how you come back from Italy without gaining an ounce (in fact, we lost weight!)… somehow that doesn’t quite translate with the gelato here!
Life in LA must be amazing then. One of the things I love about Italy is that you can stroll through town at midnight and it’ll be full of people eating ice-cream, chatting or just relaxing after a hot day. And it’s another windy and rainy day in England…
i love the retro feel of the place…the gelato looks so insanely good!
I love your blog! gotta love it. You’re too gorgeous
I just recently moved away from the hot gelato spot…bummer!
looks amazing!!
looks so delicious… what a lovely end of summer treat!
Such a yummy, delightfully delectable post. Mm.
oh my gosh! we had gelato last night too! it was so heavenly…1 scoop choc, 1 scoop vanilla bean!
That looks delicious.
“What we lack in cheap drinks and dirty floors, we make up for with excellent gelato” Well put!
oh that looks yummy!!! =D
oh, delish. I love gelato. I don’t eat it nearly as often as I’d like
How beautifully delicious!

Wow, delicious! You look lovely too, this website is a great snapshot into your life : )
That does look gorgeous, but I have a question, what is gelato?! Is it just American ice cream? Please excuse me and my British confusion…
oh that looks so good!!! Our favorite neighborhood place is a little turkish cafe that serves homemade baklava and turkish coffee.
Oh my god, that looks so decadent and delicious. Great photos!
just what i need
omgggg that looks so yummy!!!!

Wow, i have to go find this place now…have you ever tried Bulgarini’s gelato in N. Pasadena? The flavors are so fresh and delightful. The guy is from Rome and makes authentic tasting gelato!
Oh goodness…I swear have SO many good memories of gelato!!! My auntie and I used to go to Monterey and every time we went we stopped at this gelato cafe—LOVE GELATO!!
