A gelateria in a small college town in the western
hills of Virginia? Sure… No, really! Pronto
is a small
Italian café and gelateria in downtown Lexington that serves (ok)
coffee, nice pastries, sandwiches (with real Italian meats) and amazingly
authentic gelato (Italian ice cream). It is run by a first-generation
Italian-American, who owns various other places in town.
-->
I get a large cup ($5.25)
with stracciatelli, a kind of Italian chocolate chip ice cream (good),
kiwi (quite fresh), lemon (ok), and hazelnut (excellent). While the lemon
is a bit disappointing, but that even happens in Italy, the hazelnut is
absolutely authentic, better than I ever had outside of Italy.
-->
VERDICT: 92/100
Pronto serves some
of the best gelato I have ever had in the US and the hazelnut could compete
with the best in Italy.
