Light and refreshing, but the pistachio is lacking.
Rating: 4/10
Al Gelato by Zappalà is a small gelateria that is very popular in its neighborhood, thanks to very competitive prices combined with high-quality products.
The granita is made using a very traditional process, so the texture is very light and "icy," which works very well for traditional flavors (like coffee), but doesn't quite suit the pistachio. In fact, the percentage of pistachio is a bit low, so the flavor lacks punch.
The granita is still very light and refreshing, and certainly pleasant to enjoy with the classic brioche col tuppo (which are very good).
Many people have told me that their gelato is more intense than the granita, so I will try that as soon as I can.
