The latest Persicco flavors are...

[Cue drumroll]

Mango y tiramisu (pictured) and frambuesca (raspberry) and mousse de chocolate.

Who knew that mango ice cream could be so full of mango flavor. We brought home a menu so we can plot our choices for the next seven days. So much flavor, so little time!

It's really a shame that the United States is deprived of Persicco. The quality of the ice cream is amazing. Places like Cold Stone (which really has mediocre ice cream hidden by piles of toppings and flashy preparations) and Baskin & Robbins pale in comparison. The closest we have would be places that make gelato in smaller batches. Plus, Persicco is such a happy place: clean, shiny and bright, with the convivial cafe atmosphere that helps make Buenos Aires so wonderful. It made us realize how sad and slightly scary being inside a Baskin & Robbins is...
