Little Italy neighborhood gelato shop where the real scoop is the irresistible Italian owners behind the counter.

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Oddly enough, they actually serve really good salads on their mini-menu of food items. Paninis, too.

Best gelato anywhere!

We read about Pappalecco in the Union Tribune on Thursday and it sounded so inviting that we went there late Friday morning. The sandwiches are awesome (they'll be adding breakfast sandwiches soon); fresh panino, top of the line fresh ingredients, absolutely wonderful. I had iced tea, and you can have the traditional Lipton or you can choose from their selection of 6 various teas. I chose the green tea and it was perfectly brewed and icy cold...and freshly made. Even though it was late morning, we couldn't resist the gelato. The choices were almost staggering. I had 1/2 cantaloupe and 1/2 watermelon; very light, refreshing, not too sweet. My husband had the chocolate-hazelnut....oh, my oh my, what a treat! I can't wait to go back. It's perfection! I can't wait for the blog to be up and running.
