Ariela

Just more supportive words from a FAN! I think your icecreams are the best in london.. happy to let you work from my 1 bed flat if needed!

Ariela's just doesn't measure up I'm afraid.

I go to Rome quite often and next month I'll be here

It just goes on and on, more than 300 different flavours I reckon.

Eat your heart out, Limetta-lovers.

Better watch out for crime in Rome

I agree the Limetta is quite nice. I got a big bowl with four scoops. Nobody else in my household seems to want any, they're odd that way.

Now I feel sick.

@Ali

Thanks, very amusing. It's their crime, not our crime.

Rome is the only place I've ever had my pocket picked. On the road (and especially there) I always carry two wallets, sometimes a money belt. They got away with a used subway ticket and three euros forty cents in small change.

What use is all that gelato in Rome? We need it here on our doorstep.

Snore. I've just read that.

ariela · May 2009

hey everyone...me again!! Just wanted to let you all know that I have sorted it out with Pappagone in a very decent manner, the new people are gonna do something completely different and they need the space so I will be moving very close by, just keep looking out for updates!!
Love
Ariela

matt · May 2009

Woo-hoo! Congrats and well done

krappyrubsnif · May 2009

So who are the new people and what are they going to do.............not pizza then? MacDonalds? Lap dancing?

Liz · May 2009

Hooray! Looked like you were doing a roaring trade yesterday in the sunshine - lots of very happy people with gelato walking up SGR.

steve · May 2009

I am going to wander over to the window and buy one of these TONIGHT.

steve · May 2009

you'll be excited and relieved to learn that I did follow through with this plan, and had a three scoop cone, including Limetta. Very enjoyable. I sat on the bench outside Tescos and ate it, and noted the longing in the eyes of the passing pregnant women / too-old hipsters.

krappyrubsnif · June 2009

What's a too-old hipster? Never too old for ice cream?

steve · June 2009

too old to be hipster, rather than too old for ice cream. I agree - it would be silly to put an age limit on either ice cream or gelato.

Fin · June 2009

Any answer yet on what the new people are going to do with the place?

tosscat · June 2009

erm, keep it the same?

Fin · June 2009

According to ariela "the new people are gonna do something completely different".

tosscat · June 2009

i thought that was the ice-cream

Marquis · June 2009

A gay entrance area venue?

krappyrubsnif · June 2009

Apparently Pappagone is not sold and is not changing hands.

Only the ice cream.

I just spoke to Marco. They had a really, really big offer, and thought about it for a long time. But they decided to stay and not to sell up. It turned out to be an offer they could refuse....

Hooray!

Billy Bookcase · June 2009

So why did they kick out Ariela then?
I will be staying loyal to her project in the forthcoming heatwave.

matt · June 2009

I'd also heard last time I was in that they were thinking about an offer but had yet to accept. Good news that they've declined! Weird about the gelato change, though.

ShaunG · June 2009

SGR is now awash with ice-cream places - Pappagone, Ariela in her new (though I have to say slightly incongruous) setting, and I see there's some in the deli place at the SGR/ Tollington crossroads. I for one feel compelled to keep trying them all.

poxy · June 2009

<i>.... and I see there's some in the deli place at the SGR/ Tollington crossroads.</i>

I make that two places! The deli (on SGR) next to Christopher Charles and The Coffee Haven deli (on Tollington) next to Davies and Davies.

Dulce de Leche.

tosscat · July 2009

I had chocolate and dolce latte last night from Ariela and I tried limetta - I thought the limetta wasn't all that and I thought the green stuff on top was rather offputting, but the others were nice.

Ali · July 2009

Banana is ace !

ShaunG · July 2009

My best ever flavour for Italian ice cream is almond, which I had in Sicily but never find here. If Ariela's reading, almond would bring me in every time, despite the proximity to greasy fry-ups.

Howdy, Stranger!
