Yesterday morning during a chat with my uncle Mike, he mentioned a great gelato place in Sugarhouse called Dolcetti Gelato. I took advantage of the opportunity to go try it out last night. It's a small little shop on the east side of the road. Parking was a little difficult because of the large number of customers already there. The two workers there were friendly and helpful in selecting a flavor of gelato. Customers are free to try as many different flavors as they like. I think I walked out with five or so mini colored spoons... It seemed like there were more flavors at the Mr. C's gelato place out in Jordan Landing by my house, but the flavors here were equal to or more delectable than Mr. C's. Dolcetti Gelato is apparently well-known for its lemon gelato, and now I know why. It was quite good. I would also highly recommend the plum and dolce de leche flavors. I wasn't too fond of the ginger. I suppose that's an acquired taste. Customers can mix flavors in a single dish. The price tag of $3.50 on a small cup seems a little steep, but it's worth it. Our server, left just about as much gelato above the rim than below..

There are a couple small tables inside the restaurant and patio space outside. If the weather's good, I'd select the porch. There's nothing better than some heavenly ice cream on a warm summer evening.
