SAVOUR MANITOBA | SUMMER 24 25
Finally, the summer days are long and
warm. Now there is freedom to dash
out the door in a sunhat and stylish
shades. No clunky boots or parkas.
It's all so much simpler:
Summertime and the livin' is easy ...
Wait — let's replay that. In Italian, this time:
Estate e vivere è facile ...
In fact, let's do the whole summer with Italian gusto.
And that calls for gorgeous gelato. And where better to find
it than in the heart and soul of Winnipeg's Little Italy?
If anyone knows gelato, it's Maria and Michael Pepe, at
Nucci's Gelati (643 Corydon), carrying on the Nucci family
legacy of serving the freshly made, traditional treat.
Gelato is a sweet refreshment. A little luce del
sole (sunshine) in un cono (a cone) or una coppa (a
cup). It's an Italian delight that can transform a prairie
summer into a Roman holiday.
But first, lunch.
An Italian lunch should be a leisurely affair. Bring
your appetite and your patience. Save the speed for
zipping around on your Vespa.
LA DOLCE
