No self-respecting ice-cream fiend could possibly pass up a visit to La Casa Gelato. Trust us, it's worth the trek out to this obscure industrial area near Commercial Drive, where ice-cream lovers gather for a taste of one or more of the 198 flavors in store. Of course you don't get that many flavors by simply serving up chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. How about garlic, lavender, durian-fruit, basil, or hot chile ice cream? We love the pear with Gorgonzola sorbet. You're entitled to at least several samples before committing to one or two flavors, so go ahead and be adventurous.
