Whippy--Di Prisco lievitati d' eccellenza — Restaurant in Salerno

THE BEST DESSERT SHOP ON THE PLANET ! My wife and I arrived in Salerno the previous evening to commence our 3 week vacation in Italy and France. After a huge sleep-in to get over our jet lag we hit the road with a bounce in our step on Wednesday morning to explore beautiful Salerno. FIRST UP ! We enjoyed a fabulous breakfast at Caffe dell'Arechi on Corso Vittorio Emanuele ( the huge pedestrian mall that runs through the middle of downtown Salerno ). As we were leaving I asked the guy behind the counter...where can we get great desserts ? Mr Whippy was his surprising reply. WHY ? Well when I was a young kid growing up in Brisbane, Qld back in Australia Mr Whippy was an ice cream van that patrolled our neighborhood every Sunday playing an old English folk song ( Greensleeves ) and serving soft serve ice cream in wafer cones. WE LOVED IT ! My wife and I headed off ( with dessert at Mr Whippy on the brain ) to continue our discovery of Salerno stopping to look at lots of retail stores and eventuality having some delicious Arancini for a late lunch at Pizzeria Giagiu. DESSERT ! Salerno is a fun coastal city to navigate and we found our way to Mr Whippy without much trouble. HOLY COW ! There were a bunch of people sitting on their outdoor patio munching away at delicious looking desserts. We went inside and a young lady named Karen behind the counter welcomed us. MORE DESSERT CHOICES THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE ! Karen offered us samples of their gelato..a kind of soft serve variety. It was smooth and creamy but we wanted more decadence. AND THEN ! We spotted a bunch of chocolate coated gelato bars in a refrigerated display cabinet. YES PLEASE ! My wife selected a SNICKERS BAR and I went with a BOUNTY BAR. We paid and found a table on the patio to enjoy our incredible desserts. TOTALLY DELICIOUS ! Never before have we enjoyed anything as deliciously decadent as our chocolate coated gelato desserts. WE WANTED MORE ! The desserts were too good to be true so we decided to buy something else to take back to our apartment. THE STORY ! So I told Karen my childhood story about Mr Whippy and how surprised we were to find a gourmet dessert shop in Salerno, Italy named Mr Whippy. Karen explained that the owner once visited Australia and saw a Mr Whippy van. HA HA ! We selected 2 amazing looking desserts...Sette Sensi and Tropical. It wasn't until a couple of days later that we had them for dessert after a fabulous dinner at our apartment. They contained the creamiest mousse we have ever enjoyed.....heavenly desserts ! Oh and Karen gave us a great tip before we left Mr Whippy....the pizza at Don Antonio 1970 is fabulous....

GELATO EXTRAVAGANZA ! When my wife and I were on a short vacation in Salerno 18 months ago we got a hot tip to try this gelato shop known locally as Mr Whippy. BEYOND DELICIOUS ! We bought a couple of gelato bars ( Bounty & Snickers ) and 2 mousse desserts ( Sette Sensi & Tropical ). Never in our lives have we ever enjoyed desserts so delicious. So we never met the pastry chef / owner Salvatore Di Prisco but we did become good friends with lovely Karen the manager. FAST FORWARD ! On Thursday, March 27th we arrived back in beautiful Salerno for a 6 day vacation. FUNNY BUT TRUE ! It was late in the afternoon when we checked into our 4th floor Airbnb on Corso Vittorio Emanuele....about 100 yards from Mr Whippy. After enjoying sensational pizza at the pizzeria downstairs we walked straight over here for our dessert hit. It was 9pm and drizzling rain when walked inside. And our friend Karen the manager was so happy to see us...we have been friends on Instagram since our first visit. After a quick catch -up chat we picked out a Bueno Bar to share on the sheltered outdoor patio. OMG ! What a creamy gelato / rich chocolate encased masterpiece. We decided to buy a couple of new ones to take with us....Oro Di Napoli & Caramel ( both mousse desserts ). And they were sensational lunch desserts the very next day. A couple of days later we popped in to pick up a Snickers Bar and a Bounty Bar...totally incredible desserts at home after a fabulous Calzone dinner at the pizzeria downstairs. FINALLY ! On Tues, April 1st Miriam the sweet cashier looked after us when we stopped by for a take home dessert hit. We bought a Caramellotto ( mousse dessert )...it paired perfectly with our take out Arancino for dinner. THERE IS...

Nous sommes venu prendre un dessert dans cette pâtisserie car elle est bien noter. J’ai trouver les prix assez chère mais de vu ça avait l’air très bon dans la vitrine. J’ai pris un yaourt au kinder Bueno et un baba au rhum. Le yaourt au kinder Bueno était très écœurant ! Et je ne sais même pas si c’était un yaourt ou une mousse froide ou limite congelée. Pour le baba au rhum c’est une autre histoire ! J’ai découvert cette pâtisserie lors de ces vacances en Italie et j’ai adorée. Alors quand j’en ai vu dans la vitrine j’en ai pris un car ils étaient gros et beau. Je vais m’assoir en terrasse et la commande arrive rapidement, je goutte en premier le baba au rhum, c’était très très très très fort en rhum mais j’aime le rhum donc ça va. Mais en mangeant de plus en plus vers le centre de la pâtisserie, quel fût ma surprise en découvrant que l’intérieur était congeler ?!!! Horrible ! Nous allons voir la dame à l’intérieur pour lui dire et elle nous dit que c’est dans un frigo et que c’est normal que se soit froid, je lui reprécise que l’intérieur est congelé. Elle part avec l’assiette et reviens une minute plus tard en criant dans la pâtisserie qu’elle n’est pas congeler et que je mens, je lui explique encore une fois qu‘a l’intérieur elle est congeler et elle me dit que ce n’est pas vrai. Nous sommes parti car elle ne voulait pas comprendre et je suis sûr qu’elle n’a pas toucher l’intérieur. Etant dans la restauration, je sais reconnaître un produit congeler d’un produit froid du frigo. Sachant qu’en arrivant, avant que je choisisse, un autre vendeur était en train de remettre des baba au rhum dans la vitrine donc je me suis dit qu’il venait d’être fait mais enfaite il les sortait tout droit du congèle. Conclusion : pour une pâtisserie comme sa, passez votre chemin pour aller dans une pâtisserie qui vous ne vous servira pas de...
