London larder: Amorino W1D

Amorino is a true cosmopolitan with locations in New York, London, throughout Europe and even New Caledonia. In London, home is Soho where this ice-cream boutique prides itself on its craftsmanship and quality of ingredients. Flavours come from the classics rather than the annals of fashion - cioccolato (chocolate), stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate), dulce de leche (caramel), and our personal favourite, Sorbetto Bergamotto (made from Calabria lemons). Each cone of gelato is crafted into the shape of a flower - Amorino's signature or for something different, try the ice cream macarons (no explanation needed)! For those that like to alternate their summer with their winter treats, try Amorino's most delicious selection of hot chocolates. There are ten to choose from including arancia e canella (orange and cinnamon) and mandorla (almond).
