Gelateria Buonocore

Capri, IT

Capri town is expensive and touristy, but provides a nice setting for an evening stroll when all the day trippers have caught the last boat. On a side note, spend at least one night in Capri, its much nicer than rushing back to Naples or the Amalfi Coast, especially with the crowds gone. Regardless of the crowds, there's always a line at Gelateria Buonocore which tempts you by the smell of fresh waffle cones being made at the window. We actually came two different times, our first visit ordering a freshly made waffle bowl (literally just made) and two gelato flavors which I can't remember piled with hot chocolate syrup. YUM.

I don't remember the flavors, but remembered that it was rapidly melting, on account of the warm chocolate and warm waffle bowl, and was delicious. Which lead to our second visit. 

We had a small lemon cake/tart, which wasn't anything spectacular and a waffle cone with mango and lemon gelato. The mango was good, but the lemon was too tart for me.

This also happened to be our final gelato in Italy and although they were mostly good to very good, they did not meet the expectations that we had built up in our heads from our last Italy excursion. Florence will be back on our radar when returning to Italy because our favorite meals and gelato were there. But Capri may join that list too, because it was our favorite stop on this trip to Italy.

Overall 7.5/10
