Well here’s the deal.  By now, everyone already knows I love gelato.  Gelato, Doe’s Eat Place, and Dreamland barbeque sauce, amongst a few other things are things I live on.  As long as you don’t take away these three things, I am willing to lose everything else.  Now I know this is a bold statement, and those who haven’t tried the complete trifecta may have a hard time coming to grasps with the magnitude of such a statement.  Now while, we aren’t blessed enough in Austin to have all three present, we do have the good fortune of having a couple of tasty gelato shops.  Some people swear by Dolce Vita, and for good reason because it is a consistent delight.  I however, have grown partial to Teo’s, the cross town rival of sorts.  It is less ritzy than Dolce Vita and the place let’s the gelato speak for itself.  The coffee is also tasty, but I swear by the gelato.  The peanut butter hazelnut is to die for, it’s the perfect blend of an icy Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup and Nutella….I mean can you ask for something more decadent?  Likely, not.  Teo’s offers a wide variety of flavors and I would recommend that you try them all; they definitely have something for everyone.  Now as a bit of an aside, gelato is meant for lovers, it is something to be enjoyed with someone you love, it’s like Venice in the spring, or April in Paris – always better with the special someone by your side.  Now if you’re lucky enough to have that certain prerequisite, I would highly recommend getting some decadent gelato, and enjoying it outside next to the fireplace.  You’ll be cold, but you’ll enjoy every minute of it.  Now I don’t want Food Austin to become a date planning service, but say… we were a dating service, gelato and fireplace would make a killer combo, now add in a couple comfy big leather chairs and a polar bear soft rug and we’re in business, alas we’re not in Turin, so we’ll settle for the authentic flavors of Italy to satisfy the sweet tooth we all have.

 Check out Teo’s, you won’t regret it.
