   Read moreCute little spot right in the heart of Newport downtown. Beautiful view of the busy street right across. Perfect for a beautiful early afternoon, right after a great meal digestion wall downhill, from the nearby Italian Sardella's restaurant. Either to sit right outside by the rock wall, or by the tables outside, or inside on the little storytale tables. One can almost picture the Mr. Rabbit from Alice In Wonderland coming in for a treat. Beautiful old school 1930's music. Giving you a sense of the good old times. They offer Gelato with milk, and without milk. And regular icecream. They make their own waffles in house, so while you're there you can get a whiff of that too. And sit to enjoy your Gelato or icecream seeing all the activity of the people passing by. The owner is actually Italian and he understood us when we spoke Spanish. And served us Gelato which was so finely made. We had a great time. The people there were very lovely, and one of the ladies reminded me of my umbrella before we left. Since I was too mesmerized by the flavor of my strawberry Gelato as we walked out to the busy street. Gracias...

Any way about the ice cream - delicious, service on the day we were there was all manager by the owner. I doubt he had thought the season would start April 13th - he was a model of efficiency and the line moved quickly.
