ICE-CREAM PARLORS<br />

T<br />

he Gelateria Testa and its Chantilly cream were both born in 1938 and have<br />

since become a veritable Turinese institution. Over the last few years Francesco<br />

Navone Tortorelli has restored their fame and improved its products, many of which<br />

true classics, such as Nero Testa (bitter chocolate sorbet) and Tourineis (gianduiotto<br />

chocolate). Then come more modern creations such as Acquerello rice cream, Nero<br />

Sicilia, a blend of chocolate made with cacao from Venezuela, wine-flavored sor-<br />

bets and water-based creams for the lactose-intolerant. In 2012, a second shop was<br />

opened in the old part of downtown Turin in partnership with the Pasticceria Visconti,<br />

a cake shop specialized in sourdough baking. At the inauguration, Francesco pre-<br />

miered his Astera cream, a delicious mixture of almonds and Moscato conceived as a<br />

tribute to his birthplace, Matera, and his adopted town, Asti.<br />

Closed Sunday (Corso Re Umberto) and Monday (Via Tasso).<br />
