Lonely Planet review for Pozzetto

Urban myth tells us that this gelato maker opened up when a group of friends from northern Italy couldn’t find their favourite ice cream here in Paris so they imported the ingredients to create it from scratch. Flavours – spatula’d, not scooped – include gianduia torinese (hazelnut chocolate from Turin) and zabaione, made from egg yolks, sugar and sweet Marsala wine, along with the more usual peach, pistachio and poire William.

    A Uniquely Italian Gelato and Coffee Experience...in Paris!!

    lonx recommends this,

    Straight from Torino, home of some of the best historical cafes in Italy, Pozzetto's loyalty to Italian culinary tradition is somewhat upsetting in a country, such as France, where foreign cuisines are mistreated by local entrepeneurs.
    Their espresso is heavenly measured, combined with milk foam and Pozzetto's gianduja cream in the trendies "marochino" if you want to indulge into something special, otherwise rely on their cappuccino, one size fits all.

    PS I did not forget the gelato, because everybody already knows everything about it!! www.pozzetto.biz

    Yes ! Italian ice-creams have finally made it to Paris

    riccardo40 recommends this,

    Just forget those fat-conscious and insipid sherbets - real Italian gelato has arrived in the City of Lights.
    Rich and full-bodied, these ice-creams are made with milk rather than water (thus they taste more like cream than ice), along with top-notch ingredients imported from regions in Italy. pistachios from Sicily, hazelnuts from Piemonte, and so on.
    Available flavors are generally limited to a few but excellent classics, including panna cotta and the mythical zabaione (egg cream with a hint of marsala liquor).
    It's still too early to decide if this marks the end of the Berthillon era, but the battle is on and you should definitely try this "real gelato experience" served with a smile.
    Tip: a second small branch caters hungry night-timers in Rue de Lappe, near Bastille.
