Fat Lorenzo's

Date visited: Thursday, May 31

I haven't ever really eaten at Fat Lorenzo's (5600 Cedar Ave. S, 612.822.2040). I've never ordered the pizza, hoagies or pasta or even sampled the salad.

But I have visited the restaurant twice in the last week because I love gelato, and Fat Lorenzo's happens to have an amazing selection of it. I discovered the restaurant last Friday, after eating at the nearby 5-8 Club. A group of us strolled in -- lured by the homemade gelato sign -- and we weren't disappointed. I devoured my cup of creamy gelato with chocolate chunks and swiped a few scoops of strawberry from my date.

Last night we walked back, and tried the strawberry-papaya (sweetly satisfying) and the kiwi-starfruit (refreshingly tart). I have a feeling we'll be back soon, and maybe one of these days I'll get around to eating dinner before I indulge in dessert.
