Il Fenicottero

A short walk from the lakefront in the delightful Anguillara Sabazia, there's a gelateria, Andrea Sorgini's, that's well worth a visit for enthusiasts. The ice cream makers offer rich but balanced flavours, with a selection that explores the local area, seasons, and classic gelato flavours, as well as indulgent treats. Among the offerings are hazelnut (from Tuscia) with a lovely intensity, stracciatella, and good pistachio pesto, as well as the comforting Uovo Sbattuto and Infuso di Vaniglia, and the indulgent caramel with salted peanuts. Water-based flavours include strawberry, plum, organic coconut, and melon, depending on the season. The house specialty is the use of pompìa, a rare Sardinian citrus fruit, transformed into a honey cream and a sorbet (Spremuta di Pompìa) that balances its bitterness well. The venue is charming, and the service is friendly.
