The smallest size of gelato at Futura Granita + Gelato is basically the size of a Dixie cup; all ice cream places should offer this.  Sometimes, a bit of ice cream would hit the spot, but you’re not necessarily hungry enough for a full-blown dessert.  A size like this is perfect.

And the gelato itself is quite good.  I’ll have to come back at some point to try the granita, which is essentially an Italian version of sorbet.

I tried the stracciatella, which is a classic gelato flavour in which crunchy chocolate is mixed into a sweet cream base.

The gelato itself was definitely above average, with a nice creamy consistency and a satisfying flavour.  The tasty dark chocolate complements it quite well.  It’s a quality scoop.
