Embrace Italian Desserts at Casa Rosada Artisan Gelato

December 15, 2015 by

If you love Italian pastas and pizzas, you haven’t even experienced all of this delicious cuisine’s decadent offerings. Casa Rosada Artisan Gelato offers a less common taste of Italian dining in the form of authentic gelato, a cold dessert similar to ice cream that is made with a creamier consistency and unique, dense flavors.

This Alexandria dessert shop is hip and relaxed, with chalkboard menus displaying the day’s current flavors and a stainless steel gelato counter imported from Italy for the freshest, most authentic taste possible. The gelato itself comes in flavors like coconut, dulce de leche, merlot and apple cinnamon, and there is also a small selection of sorbettos for dairy-free guests.

If you’re planning a party or ordering for a group, Casa Rosada Artisan Gelato also makes its gelatos in the form of cakes that are even more decadent and delicious.

Casa Rosada Artisan Gelato: Don’t Skip a Scoop of Dulce De Leche

April 21, 2015 by

The building that houses Casa Rosada Artisan Gelato is set apart from its neighbors by one distinguishing feature: the cheeky hue of rosy-pink paint that envelopes its exterior. It makes sense, then, that this family-owned gelateria would be named "Casa Rosada," which, translated from Spanish to English, means "pink house."

Here, gelatos and dairy-sorbets are handmade in small batches, relying on fresh, seasonal ingredients and without artificial flavorings or coloring. Flavors run the gamut from the traditional (chocolate, pistachio, strawberry) to the unexpected (PB&J, banana split, soy vanilla). The shining star on the menu, however, might be the dulce de leche. This creamy, caramel-like delicacy draws inspiration from the founder's Argentine roots.

Casa Rosada Artisan Gelato is open 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
