3. We Saved the Best for LAST: We have an introduction to the most popular , and Perfect Gelateria in Sorrento; where we can choose from their 365 Flavours! But not before we learn how it is made, via a lesson from the most engaging : Teresa. She designed the majority of these flavors herself, starting at the tender age of 14 , in her father’s shop!. Her enthusiasm for Gelato is infectious!
