My new addiction: Bottega Italiana gelato (UTC)

Not much time to blog of late, between work and the holidays (and then a bit of vacation).

But must blog about my new addiction (not sure it can really be called an addiction if I've only been twice in a month, but it's my new addiction every time I'm at the newly renovated Westfield UTC Shopping Center).

Bottega Italiana fresh artisan gelato.....MMMMMM.....

Stumbled on this place while doing holiday shopping. It's near the new Arclight cinema, north and west of Lenscrafters.  Had a taste....heaven. They make it fresh every day and they claim that it's healthier and lighter in calories than regular ice cream. Some flavors are non-dairy and all others are made with 2% milk.  but you wouldn't know, because it's so rich.

Last time tried:
--sugar-free chocolate: boring!

Shifted to:
--chocolate (non-sugar-free)
--pistachio: Both heavenly!!!!

Today, on a quick outing, couldn't allow myself to leave UTC without heading over there.

Tried:
--mojito (OMG, so light and heavenly)
--pistachio again (yummy, but maybe I'm ready to try a different flavor next time)

Absolutely worth visiting next time you are at UTC!!!!!
