A guide to Milan’s summer food scene highlights a range of gelaterias offering both classic and experimental flavors. In the city centre, Ciacco on Via Spadari serves inventive combos such as tomato‑vanilla and kimchi‑strawberry, while the pastry shop of Iginio Massari offers seasonal sticks and a summer‑style maritozzo with Fuscella ice‑cream. Gelato Fatto Con Amore in Corso Magenta focuses on texture with traditional pistachio and hazelnut creams, and Gelato Giusto is noted for balanced recipes and seasonal sorbets.
