Stepping into Via Gelato & Café is like being transported to a little eatery somewhere in Italy. This homey gelateria and cafe, manned by a husband-and-wife team, scoops up 24 seasonal flavors, from the hazelnut and cocoa-inflected bacio to marsala wine-spiked zabaglione. No dairy for you? Opt for fresh-fruit sorbetto in flavors such as pomegranate-blueberry. Check the chalkboard menu for daily salad, appetizer and panini sandwich specials.
