Best Gelato To Go

Is it the friendly chefs form Italy behind the counter? Is it the allure of the gigantic Sophia Loren plastered on the back wall? Is it that our tongue starts automatically speaking in Italian as soon as the lucious flavors like zabaglione (made with Marsala wine), bacio (chocolate & hazelnut), menta (mint) hit it? We just can't get enough of the light, smooth peach, lime, and limon sorbetto and the cool, crisp tropical pineapple with rum; it keeps us coming back for more. We grab it on the go whenever we're in Austin's funky warehouse district. And this summer, we discovered that Milano's is not only great on the go, but that they can come to you, too. Their spiffy refrigerated gelato cart makes it possible for them to scoop their luscious frozen wares at fairs, festivals, farmer's markets, and catered parties. Just call them up, bella, and they'll come rollin'.
