Best tartufo which ruin any others was in Pizzo Italia. This is a very small town near Tropea in southern Italy. It is said that this dessert originated from there. It cost us $4.00 Euro each during Spring 2008, my husband thought it was expensive until he tried it.

For your information, there’re two Tre Scalini places in Piazza Navona: one is a restaurant, the other a cafe.It appears you spent 15mts. in the restaurant.
By the way, Marketman, Mila got it right; the idiom spells “to fly off the handle.”

Just got back from a visit to Rome myself. The tartufos at Tre Scalini were 9 euros…if you ate them at a table. If you order them at the counter, they are 4 euros apiece.

Gee, we never thought about tartufo when we were there…good thing too, I guess, because we would have ran out of money! We *did* get gelato at EVERY town we would stop in! It’s a wonder that both my husband and I didn’t balloon during our honeymoon!

Mila, I just love that phrase “flying of the handle” and it is an accurate way to describe me on more than one occasion… does it stem from flying pland without holding the handles? Or referring to a pan that one throws in a fit and it flies off the handle? …hmmm, I wonder now. :) lee, are you an English major by chance? You should invent a new Lee-language! Marilou, they weren’t rude, they were rich as a result of the order… stef, it’s actually hard to find a recipe for tartufo that isn’t way different from the next recie you find…not even sure if it is gelato or ice cream within… And yes, I disliked the bloody cobblestones bigtime!
