I love Bottega Italiana's gelato. For that matter I really enjoy their espresso, too. The first thing that caught me about their gelato, though, was it's texture. I couldn't believe the smoothness! After the texture the flavor awoke and I was in love. Seriously, it's amazing that so much pure, unadulterated taste can be packed onto such a tiny spoon. Actually, this place has gelato just like in Italy, not that ice-crystal-ed stuff one often finds while trying ""gelato"" in the US. As for Bottega's espresso, it is lovely and pairs excellently with the gelato. I especially like the dairy gelati (such as chocolate or panna cotta) with the espresso over it (ask for an affogato, they know what to do).
Pros: the staff here seem very friendly and helpful. (also I enjoy their music selection)
Cons: parking's not so convenient so take the bus, also bring cash as they don't accept cards
