Came here after a huge Italian meal! The ice cream itself isn't the best and the selection of flavours aren't amazing but it's probably the best you're going to get around the area for ice cream choice. There's also seating here so you can enjoy it whilst it lasts. Prices are also incredibly reasonable!
