Pozzetto

At the heart of Pozzetto's offering is exceptional artisanal gelato crafted according to traditional Italian methods. The gelateria's philosophy centers on quality over quantity, which is why you'll find only 12 flavors available at any time—a deliberate choice that allows for meticulous attention to each recipe and ensures every flavor meets exacting standards.

The gelato is made fresh in-house using traditional Italian techniques that result in a denser, more intensely flavored product than typical ice cream. The texture is smooth and creamy without being heavy, achieving that perfect gelato consistency that melts evenly on your tongue. Each flavor is crafted to showcase its primary ingredients, whether that's rich chocolate, fresh fruit, or classic Italian favorites like pistachio or hazelnut.

What distinguishes Pozzetto's gelato is not just the recipe but also the serving method. The gelato is served with a spatula rather than a scoop—a traditional Italian technique that preserves the proper texture and temperature. This method prevents the gelato from being compressed or warmed by scooping, ensuring you experience it exactly as intended. It's a small detail that reflects the gelateria's commitment to authenticity and proper gelato service.

The flavor selection typically includes classic Italian favorites alongside seasonal offerings. While the specific flavors may rotate, you can expect to find traditional options that showcase the fundamentals of excellent gelato-making. The focus is on pure, recognizable flavors rather than elaborate combinations or trendy innovations—this is gelato that respects Italian tradition while meeting the highest quality standards.

At the Vieille du Temple location, the food offering expands beyond gelato to include Italian focaccia priced at €10. The focaccia is topped with authentic Italian ingredients imported directly from Italy, including mortadella, eggplant, and sun-dried tomatoes. These savory options provide a complete Italian café experience, allowing you to enjoy a light meal before indulging in gelato. The focaccia reflects the same commitment to quality and authenticity that defines the gelato, using genuine Italian products to create flavors that transport you to Italy.

To complement the food, the café location also serves Peroni beer at €4, along with coffee and other beverages that round out the Italian café experience. The beverage selection is straightforward and authentic, focusing on Italian classics rather than elaborate drink menus.

Whether you visit for just gelato or for the full café experience with focaccia and drinks, Pozzetto delivers authentic Italian flavors crafted with care and served with traditional methods that honor the gelato-making tradition.
