With three scoop shops in Rome, Fatamorgana Gelato’s reputation preceded its arrival in Los Angeles. Italian gelato maestro Maria Agnese creates more than 60 different ice cream flavors daily, with 360 unique recipes rotating throughout the week: honey and fennel, lemon curd, Cognac and nutmeg, black rice and rose… There are different declinations of chocolate, so hop on a choco flight: Venezuelan chocolate, Kentucky tobacco chocolate, Madagascar chocolate, wasabi chocolate, chocolate and single-malt whiskey, chocolate and smoked black Lapsang Souchong, etc. All the cones and gelatos are also gluten-free, because the founder and owner has celiac disease, and found out the hard way that most commercial ice creams have questionable additives.
