Zelo Cosi

I had seen the advertisement for this place in one of the local guides. The add showed folks sitting at a comfy couch with yummy desserts on the table and a note about free wi-​fi below. It is billed as the «italian dessert place». Well, i’ve been to Italy and the desserts here don’t really come close.
The gelato had an old, freezer burnt taste to it and they only had a few flavors. Don’t let the desserts in the case scare you (and they look a little scary). They will pull your dessert selection out of the fridge and mine did look MUCH better than the one in the case. I had the tiramisu and it was way too heavy on the cheese part and not near enough ladyfinger & espresso. The coffee was out of a pot but not bad considering I was there at the end of the day and I’m sure it had been there a while. Perhaps another dessert (and they had several to choose from) would have been better.
While I did not try the couch pictured in the add I can tell you that the chairs are definately not ones you’l want to linger in or even sit back in.
Overall the place is nice for a café, clean and the little patio has a nice stream running through it. You’ll have to put up with the smokers however. The young lady working the counter was quite nice so no complaints at all about the service.
I’d say give it a try. I may have just caught it on a slow day. Oh, and try something other than the tiramisu!
