Grom

Grom is our favorite gelatteria in Mestre; possibly anywhere in Italy…and in the world for that matter. Grom’s high quality and large selection, as well as its convenient location across the pedonale from one of our favorite restaurants, Garibaldi’s, make it the logical end to a delicious evening in Italy.

Mariana, me, and Sveta indulging at Grom

Whether in the mood for milk based or fruit based gelato, it goes without saying that we are going to Grom anytime we head west of our hotel. Birthing the phrase “Grom-up” when in need of this delicacy, even a small cone (cono piccolo) comes with two scoops of mouth explosion. I prefer the dark chocolate (cioccolato extra noir), chocolate chip (stracciatella), and raspberry (lampone), whereas many prefer strawberry (fragola) or Crema di Grom, which is a flavor specific to the gelatteria with kind of a cookie dough/butterscotch taste.

Feeling really bold? Try the Scott special; two scoops of lemon (limone).

So if ever in Mestre, I suggest giving it a try...especially if they bring back Blueberry (Mirtillo), pictured below, as one of their special monthly flavors.

I’m going to Grom up right now.
