Caprice Camplone

Pescara, as you would expect for a beach resort and business city in Italy, has many excellent places for Gelato, each of the best with its own special point of excellence. Caprice — like its elder cousin Camplone in the center of town, serves some of Pescara’s best «capricci», little pre-​made and chocolate covered ice cream cones. But that’s not the real reason you should come. And neither are their excellent and creative gelato and semifreddo cakes (perfect for a grownup’s birthday party). No, the reason to come to Caprice are their local, Abruzzo-​themed gelato flavors. Usually at least a dozen of the fourty-​odd flavors available are linked this beautiful region: from Aurum, the local verson of Gran Marnier, to saffron from l’Aquila; from local liquorice to pecorino (a wine, not a cheese). It’s kitty corner to the city’s Duomo just on the edge of the Corso Manthonè restaurant district just south of the river.
