More infoBella Gelateria has a claim most dessert counters only dream of: the man behind the counter is a genuine International Gelato Master of the Year, and he makes the stuff four litres at a time from whatever local farmers are proudest of that week. It sits on Davie Street, steps from English Bay. Get a scoop, then a second, and go watch the water.
Join the line at Bella Gelateria, which moves faster than it looks, and take your time with the seasonal flavours because they change with what the farmers bring in. Get a scoop or two of the dense, slow-melting gelato, then walk the single block down to the English Bay seawall and eat it facing the water as the sun goes down. About thirty minutes, longer if you linger on the beach, which you should.
