Luigi’s il Gelato

This year I visited Knysna in South Africa and although it was late summer it was still very much summer and although the Knysna climate is generally moderate (not to mention beautiful) there are days hot enough to get you thinking about something to cool off with.

What a fantastic surprise then to discover REAL gelato ice cream at a cute little ice cream shop called Luigi’s. The real stuff. Not sorbet!

You taste this ice cream with your whole body. It’s an experience. The stuff is delicious. There is an amazing range of flavours and each one is worth trying. None are disappointing, but the texture of this ice cream is what really sets it apart. How do I describe for the reader what I mean. Smooth, well yes, ice cream usually is but this is smoother. It melts in your mouth in a far more satisfying way.

I had a cup on my way out to the beach, (remember how hot I said it was) and do you know, the entire time I spent on the beach I couldn’t think of much else but how I was going to get my hands on another one of Luigi’s il gelato cups.

Left the beach early just to get another, fancy that.

If you need to cool off on a hot day in Knysna, take a seat outside this ice cream shop, chat with a few of the regulars and enjoy a world class gelato.

Luigi’s is just next to Spar in Knysna, easy to find.
