A taste of Italian summer

Yes, the weather is not what you would expect from July. But anyway, when the sun comes out a good ball of ice cream can for sure get you into the summer mood.

One excellent place to get some Italian ice cream is the Pappagallo ice cream parlor on Esplanadi. Next to the Swedish theater the small yellow kiosk invites people to enjoy some smooth and delicious ice cream. You should especially give their sorbets a try.

Enjoy and have a good start into the week!


  1. Why go to Pappagallo when you can go to Magi's in Kaivopuisto?

    Magi is the oldest still functioning Finnish ice cream manufacturer, established by six Italian brothers. Their cones are notorious for being the biggest in town :) My absolute favorite.

    1. Oh, thank you for the suggestion! Will have to try that out.
