Warm Toasty Cookies and Hot Chocolate

What's better on a below freezing day then hot chocolate?  How about a traditional chocolate chip cookie to dip into that dark and steamy chocolate?  Not enough chocolate for you?  How about a double chocolate sea salted shortbread cookie?  No chocoholic could possibly turn down one of those babies.  They are the perfect amount of crunch, salt, and sweet. 

Here is a little peek at some of the goodies on our shelves:

it's snowing you say?

I'm sure we don't need to have polite weather banter on the obvious.
Just order a cioccolata calda to stay and thank us later.

A Snowy Night at Capogiro

Snow Snow and more Snow.  It's turning into a blizzard out there as I sit in the cafe and sip on a delicious Chai tea.  Despite this particular snowy night, the cafe has been absolutely packed since the beginning of the holiday season. People could not get enough of our gelato and other treats.  Holiday favorites included the Sweet Potato Pecan Praline Gelato, the lil'flower marshmallows, and Capogiro giftcards in all amounts.

Yesterday saw plenty of mummer's mummering up and down the block with their umbrellas and gold shoes.  This is only my second experience with the mummers so I was still slightly confused the entire day.  Nonetheless the  mummers were a cheerful amusing sight from the windows of our Capogiro.  

We hope you all had a safe and pleasant holiday season, we certainly appreciate all the business and cheer you brought us and we hope to see lots more of you this year!

Bronte's Pistachio, The Green Gold of Capogiro

Ciao a tutti!

Have you ever experienced the glories of our pistachio gelato?! And did you know that in keeping with our high quality standards, we use only the BEST pistachios!? We source them directly from Italy-Bronte, Sicily to be exact- the pistachio mecca of the world!

I've always had a deep love and appreciation for the pistachio...with its vibrant green sheen, antioxidants, and satisfyingly savory crunch, it-to me- is the king of all nuts! In between cooking classes in Sicily last summer, I perused the vibrant markets and specialty shops, mesmerized by the colors and aromas of fresh produce, sharp provolone, salami, and more. Moreover, I sought out anything and everything that was made with pistachio- liquor, spreads, granita, cassata,brittle, torrone, biscotti, and of course- gelato! While there, I learned about "l'ordo verde" or the "green gold" of Bronte.

Bronte, located in the northeast of Sicily and close in proximity to Mount Etna, is home to the best pistachios in the world! In fact, the pistachio is the principal economic resource of the region and its cultivation accounts for approximately eighty percent of the regions arable land! The fertile volcanic soil makes for one of the best tasting nuts on the face of the earth and guess what?- you don't have to fly across water to taste its sumptuousness!

Come in to any one of our locations and ask for a taste of our pistachio gelato- it's a staple flavor! And no- it is not green because of food coloring- its eye-pleasing hue is sourced only from the radiance of  the nut! Try it paired with our famous dark chocololate (cioccoloto sciuro) or perhaps the pomegranate!

Cheers e buon appetito!
