Gelato Vittorio's new creations on the stone

First you fell for those stones on the beach — fun to collect, or throw into the water. Then came the Rolling Stones phase — you still blast ‘Satisfaction’ on your iPod. And then you lost your heart to precious stones — shiny, colourful baubles for your jewellery-box.

Now there’s a new stone in town that’s bound to catch your eye, and your appetite.

Designer Vijay Arora’s Gelato Vittorio adds scrumptious toppings to their gelato using a granite stone that stays at -20 degrees C to prevent them melting.

Imported from Italy, the stone — a first in Delhi — makes every gelato look and taste sinful. Pick your favourite flavours and sample a customised gelato cocktail. Try Alphonso Mango Tango and Luscious

Lichi or go for the Snickers, Hazelnut, Ferrero, Bubblegum and Whisky. Top ‘em with nuts, fruits and sauces, just the way you like it.

The creamy gelato is 100% vegetarian and contains less fat than ice-cream.

The only other stone you may want to see in your dessert would be the one on an engagement ring. But a few scoops of gelato bring instant bliss.
