AMORE MIO Italian artisanal gelato
There's something about AMORE MIO that makes people abandon their usual order. The lavender gelato has a cult following, and the black currant isn't far behind, unusual flavours sitting right alongside the classics for anyone who wants to play it safe. The outdoor seating area is generous enough that you're never fighting for a spot on a hot Kelowna evening. This is proper Italian-style gelato, dense and slow-churned, not the airy stuff that melts before you've finished a scoop. Rated 4.6 for a reason. Bring the family, order two flavours you've never tried, and thank yourself later.
