Sincerely, kn: G for Gelato
The day I decided to go make my own Gelato instead of going to the Gym, because G stands for ...
This family-run spot close to St James Park celebrates two of Italy’s great passions: pizza and gelato.
From the lineup of modish pies, we prefer the cracker-thin Calabrese ($14) lightly dressed with San Marzano tomato sauce, a smidge of mozzarella, a few strips of roasted red pepper and see-through soppressata and a final toss of shrivelled black olives. Pitted, thankfully. G’s all-veggie Con Arugula (both $14) comes topped with a heap o’ bitter greens, diced vine tomatoes, some shaved parmigiano and a healthy splash of extra-virgin olive oil.
And if you’re not afraid of anchovies, the G’s Specialty – more house sauce, smooth fontina cheese, a handful of briny capers and those super-salty fish ($14.95) – is sure to appeal to fish aficionados.
