Some local places offer unique gelato combinations, such as sea salt caramel or lemon and basil. Be sure to check out the daily specials for something truly unique. Enjoy your gelato in a cone or cup, or even take a tub back to your comfortable room at the St George Hotel for a late-night treat. Find our /rooms/ here.
