It's a different shop everytime. Well, not being a gelato expert, I found them all to be very good. They were all better than the stuff we used to churn out using our trusty old hand cranked garapiñera. I'll make it a point to visit Il Laboratorio del Gelato before summer officially ends.

But I suspect all or most come from ready to make mixes for the restaurant industry and their flavors are commercial in nature. Nevertheless, they are a good alternative in Manila for variety. Il Laboratorio gelato is just superb, though I will be the first to admit...pricey. I have tasted the gelatos you mentioned, specially don Amici and they are indeed great value.

But another must try is the gelato at Amici in Don Bosco Makati, a little Italian restaurant run by an Italian priest. Yummy flavors at half the price (P35 per scoop!) of the first ones I mentioned. Available for take out in styro bricks bricks @ P300. I heard it's also available at Waltermart across the street.
