I know it's still 39 degrees outside, but I'm looking forward to summer days spent indulging in gelato. And I think I just found the most chocolatey gelato ever! Billed as "rich, black and serious," Capogiro's Cioccolato Scuro is not for the garden-variety chocoholic. It's for the diehard who wouldn't bat an eye at devouring an entire Valrhona Le Noir Extra Amer 85% chocolate bar.
The first ingredient in Cioccolato Scuro is cocoa. But if all this chocolate in one gelato is too intimidating, Capogiro also offers some lighter chocolate flavors: chocolate hazelnut with pieces of caramelized hazelnuts; chocolate banana; mint chocolate chip; Mexican chocolate with ancho chile, chipotle, cinnamon and bitter almonds; chocolate malt; and plain chocolate.
Where did I find Capogiro? At Whole Foods, which is gradually taking over Manhattan. (I wish the chain would spend some of its energy on neglected Queens!)

I'm hoping for a location somewhere Uptown. Have you ever been to the Costco in Astoria. That place is amazing. I don't even have a membership, but sometimes I like to head over and stroll around. Its by a really cool sculpture park as well.
I'll keep an eye out for that gelato. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate ice cream (more of a vanilla kind of guy) but your description intrigues me.
gelato party...mmmm yummy...that's what this makes me think of...same here - I like little flecks of vanilla bean in my ice cream and am all over caramel and berries but you made this sound really INTRIGUING...but you have a gift for that...
that truly is the chocolatey-est gelato i've ever tasted. i love it!
This gelato is just amazing! I want to have a gelato party now that I have 6 different flavors in my freezer. Dark Chocolate, Pineapple Mint, Mint Stracciatella... oh I just don't know what I'm going to do. Everyone, just come over! I'll make the whipped cream. :-)
did I miss the party?? :P
If it were my fridge, the gelato would be loooong gone.
