Tips for Your Visit
- Bring Cash: During our recent visit, Gelateria Artigiana was cash only, so come prepared.
- Enjoy the View: There is no indoor seating, but that is part of the charm. Grab your cone or cup and head outside to find a spot on one of the many benches along the lakeside promenade.
