Pompelmo Gelateria, a tiny gelato shop in the coastal town of Westerly, Rhode Island recently ranked as one of the best gelato shops in the world! If you can’t go to Italy, you can take the Northeast Amtrak 2 hours straight to Westerly and enjoy authentic Italian-style gelato.
The owner, Melanie Wolf, notes her gelato fanatic began from a young age. The Argentinian American chef and professor extensively studied gelato making in Italy before opening Pompelmo Gelateria in 2016. Wolf also placed as a finalist in the North American Gelato Festival World Masters!
Flavors are abundant and change seasonally. Pompelmo Gelateria opened a second outpost for summer at Gramma’s Gelato Cafe in Watch Hill, right by Taylor Swift’s estate and the historic Ocean House resort.
