Gelateria De Luca–Brighton

July 27, 2012 7:35 pm / 8 Comments /

I was excited when my brother-in-law suggested that we go and try out the gelato at the Gelateria De Luca in Brighton earlier this week.  I believe that it has been open for about 12 months.  It was opened by Brighton resident Felice DeLuca.

It was after dinner that we went and there weren’t that many flavours to choose from, in fact I opted for a single flavour only (there wasn’t enough of my favourite hazelnut).  What I did think was a nice touch was the fact that we all started to order our gelati in Italian.

Just around the corner was this view:

I’d certainly like to go back and try some other flavours.  Perhaps if this hot weather continues in England we will do so.

I tried to appeal to some Italians resident in Brighton to tell me what they thought via twitter.

 

 

So far I haven’t received any replies, but I would love some feedback from anyone who has  tried the gelato here to let me know what you thought.

    Hi Cathy, I live in Washington state of USA. When we visit the tourist destination Leavenworth ( it’s a Barvarian Village ?) there is a gelato store that I HAVE to visit and Hope that Hazelnut is available that day. Oh, now I’m craving it ! Thanks for the reminder of one of my favorite things.

      Thank you Connie for commenting.  I hope that you will be able to satisfy your hazelnut craving :-)  You’re very welcome.  Gelato is one of my favourite things too.

    Mmmmm Cathy. It’s the middle of winter. cold and dark here and this post still put me in the mood for gelato!!! So cute that you reverted to speaking Italian. What flavour did you end up having I wonder. Hopefully they’ll be enough good weather yet for you to work through the list and let us know your favourite! xx

      Winter in Melbourne :-)  I love that I put you in the mood for gelato.  I ended up having vanilla.  If I go back and try more flavours I will definitely let you know.

    It’s rainy and humid in Zurich, but like Janine, I am now in the mood for gelato. There are a couple of places in Zurich, maybe we’ll brave the weather for a good scoop ;-)

    I’m afraid I can’t help about gelato in Brighton, but I’ll retweet that and see!

    What a pretty sight after your scrumptious gelato. :-) I keep reminding myself that summer heat IS coming. :-) In the meantime, I’m shivering!!!

      Before you know it Krista, it will be summer in Australia.
