Caruso Ice Cream Shop and Bar in Polignano a Mare

FLAG:   Gelateria – Yogurteria “Caruso”

ADDRESS AND TOWN:   Via Martiri di Dogali, 3 – Polignano a Mare and others in Monopoli, Molfetta and Bari.

WEB:   www.gustocaruso.it

LOCAL PRODUCTS:   In the shop their work philosophy is well explained: all is handmade with primary products of high quality. In effect above the ice cream display case there are many posters showing the flavours and the ingredients.

In the price list there are also many other proposals, such as yogurts, waffles with and without ice cream, brioches to fill, cremolates, popsicles and ice cream cakes.

We decide for a classic cup of pistachio ice cream with topping and a waffle with gianduja ice cream.

The pistachio flavour seems hazelnut. Few plastic spoons of ice cream later, it continues to have an hazelnut aftertaste with vague hints of pistachio. The heated waffle is definitely hard and with the supplied plastic spoon it is difficult to eat. The gianduja flavour too, will not be absolutely among the best ever tasted.

LOCATION AND INTERIORS: It’s located on one of the main street of this nice town, closest the main entrance to old town. Nice and modern bar, look total white, with plenty of seating.

PRICES:   In the average, considering this particular town.

BIKER FRIENDLY:  It’s not easy to park in Polignano, but with a motorcycle becomes easier.
