Philly's Anti-Cheesesteak: Capogiro Gelato

What you see above is a trio of scrumptiousness; a selection of true gelato in the palate-pleasing flavors of Pear Bourbon, Thai Coconut Milk and Dark Chocolate. At Philadelphia's Capogiro Gelato, a bevy of the brand's gelato and sorbetto flavors means that you are safely ensconced in within an anti-cheesesteak forcefield.

Capogiro is Philly's answer to the Pinkberry explosion of both coasts, except that Capo is keeping it real with straight-up homemade gelato available in more than just two measly flavors. With two locations of their own in Philly, one by Rittenhouse Square and the other in Midtown Village, Capogiro is more than just a tourist's pleasure.

The list of gelato varieties alone is enough to keep the locals addicted. We're not even going to get into the thrill of seasonal specialties, but we will divulge a few of their more exotic choices: lemon bourbon mint, sweet potato with pecan praline, rosemary honey goat's milk and ginger with sesame brittle. Of course they've got the classic Italian standbys like espresso, hazelnut and stracciatella (chocolate chip), but since we aren't in Rome, we don't always have to do as the Romans do.
