There’s no two without three: and so for the third consecutive year “Gelatomania” in Forlì is mentioned by Gambero Rosso among the best ice cream parlors in Italy, confirming the “two cones”. It is not the first time that the food and wine magazine mentions the ice cream shop in via Ravegnana. “The first big news that we gave you in 2024 – writes Luca Lombardi, who, together with his wife Raffaella and his daughter Ilaria, manages the ice cream shop – was that of the restyling of our restaurant. The second is that also in This 2024 Gambero Rosso has confirmed us with two cones in the guide to the best ice cream parlors in Italy”.

And in fact the guide reads: “Luca Lombardi’s ice cream continues to convince and continues to raise the bar of quality and research. Excellent raw materials and territory remain the tracks on which to develop a complex and never banal offer that surprises in quality and convinces in taste. Essentiality in classic flavors such as pistachio, hazelnut, cream, kiss and chocolate. Balance in those where the combination of different ingredients is harmonious and balanced: as in the flavor of pumpkin and marzipan beans with cocoa and in the Mediterranean with cous, pistachios, almonds, dates and turmeric. If the saffron ice cream is surprising for its intensity, those closely linked to the quality of the raw material used are liked: persimmons and cardamon, Albana and dried grapes, fig, strawberry grapes, and, in season, strawberry and pear. The granitas, single portions and poké with ice cream are also good.”
“At the beginning of 2024 we introduced saffron ice cream – explains Luca, regarding this year’s new flavors – which was much appreciated by our customers. Now, however, we have suspended it because there is a lot of fruit available. another new flavor that we have developed is cocoa mass, a less refined dark chocolate. Our way of working is always the same: we use simple and original raw materials: milk, cream, eggs, sugar and no semi-finished products”. Simplicity and originality, two evidently winning characteristics.
