The Scoop on Portland’s Gelaterias

November 14th, 2006

To know me is to know that I love gelato.

So I was very excited when my favorite Portland food blog, ExtraMSG.com, reviewed 9 gelaterias in the Portland area.

How do the shops stack up on price? Looking at the prices posted in the review, it’s hard to make a head-to-head comparison based on price alone, since some shops offer more flavors per serving size than others. But it looks like Staccato Gelato offers the most flavors for the lowest prices overall.

Here is a list of prices based on the review:

Medium: $3.75, 3 flavors
Large: $4.50, 4 flavors
