Tujunga Ave in Studio City is rapidly becoming LA's very own Little Italy (at last!), what with Caioti Pizza (so-so) and old-skool Italian joints like Vitellos (the death restaurant just ask Bonnie Lee Bakely). Village Gourmet has an array of wonderful imported goodies too. \r

Now we have a cosy little breakfast and dessert place called Gelato Bar with some of the creamiest and tangy flavors you could ask for. Coconut is so pungent, it makes you feel like Keith Richards... Mango is delicious (if only they had Passionfruit *sigh*) \r

I was seduced by their Dulce de Leche in a sugar cone ($4.50). Pricey but delicious, I'm going back for a pound of four flavors in a styrofoam container -- $16. Cheaper than the little plastic cups ($3.50 and up), but my thighs may hate me in a few week's time. \r

If you don't see pistachio (their most popular flavor) it's probably out the back waiting for a free spot. \r

So creamy, so divine -- so damn close to where I live...
