Everyone who knows me well knows that I enjoy food.  Years ago, I used to eat for quantity, not taste.  Nowadays, I do not indulge myself as much, but I truly savor the food that I consume.  Yesterday I visited an ice cream parlour /cafe in Toronto called La Paloma, and I tasted some of the best ice cream that I have ever had.

I had a large cone with three separate flavors;  smarties & white chocolate (I forget the actual name, forgive me), watermelon, and s’mores.  It was a tad expensive but for prime Italian ice cream (and the diverse amount of flavors) the cost was excuseable.  Of the three flavors, my favorite was the watermelon.  I tend to enjoy the sorbet flavors more than the sweet ice cream, and the watermelon perfectly fit my taste.

Some of the other flavors that they offer are Amaretto, Ananas (Pineapple), Anguria, Arancio, Bacio, Banana, Caffe, Cassata Siciliana, Castagna, Ciliegia, Cioccolato, Cocco, Croccangelo, Donatella, Fragola, Fruta Passione, Frutti Bocso, Gelsi, Gioia Mia, Kiwi, Lampone, Limone, Mandorla Tostata, Mango, Mela Verde, Melone, Menta, Moca, Nocciola, Noce Sorrento, Panna Cotta, Pesca, Pistacchio, Pistacchio Sicilia, Rocher Caterina, Stracciatella, Tiramisu, Torrone, Vaniglia, Zabaglione, Zuppa Inglese, and many many more.

La Paloma (Authentic Gelateria and Cafe) is located at 1357 St. Clair Ave. West in Toronto.  I suggest that if you are in the neighborhood you drop by.
