Hey Dogwood Creek! What’s better on a hot summer day than a nice, cool gelato? What about Bravo Gelato? Starting last Saturday, the gelato will now be on the dessert menus of Sweet Grass, Interim, Andrew Michael Italian Kitchen, and Restaurant Iris.

Now, Memphians have a change to get a taste of what Nashville has been raving about for a while. Bravo Gelato brings the flavors of true Italian gelato to Memphis. While it’s not organic, it does contain all-natural ingredients. Bravo Gelato makes a single batch at a time and offer around 180 flavors. They also do a lot of alcohol-based gelatos (which should be an interesting taste).

There are a couple using the Nashville-based beer Yazoo, as well as gelatos using Jack Daniels. There are traditional Southern flavors, too, like apple pie and pecan pie. There’s even a S’mores gelato. So you can see that whatever your taste is, there’s  gelato for that.

The great thing about Bravo Gelato is that they even make requests. There was a chef that ordered roasted parsnips gelato, and Bravo delivered. Parsnips aren’t really my thing, but it’s impressive that Bravo can make a gelato into almost any flavor.

Right now, the gelato is on the menu at the afore mentioned restaurants, and there are talks of them becoming available in grocery stores and maybe even they’re own restaurant. Only time will tell.

Have you ever had gelato?
