First the obvious, if you're after ice cream or gelato, cruise the streets a bit and check out the flavors available. Get a few free tastes, especially of the \""house specials.\"" We did the same, and one thing we found was that not every shop had well-frozen product. The last thing you need is ice cream already on its way to ice cream soup. We checked out Chez Catherine, and they almost dared us to try their Maple Taffy flavor. If you love maple syrup, maple flavor, this will knock your socks off! I had the Maple Taffy and Rum Raisin, scooped into a waffle cone. My wife got the Maple Taffy plus a scoop of Mint Chocolate, to sort of tame the sweetness of the Maple. The ice cream was good and firm, well frozen, and we were able to eat a large portion with a spoon, keeping the whole process a bit neater. After reaching the cone, it was pure heaven, with the cone plus the ice cream to enjoy. Seriously good ice cream, very friendly and attentive staff, and a delight to eat. Only problem? It's 2000 miles from our home!
