My gelato sampler was served in the martini glass too...I asked for 3 flavors. I suppose if you wanted to try every flavor they would serve on a plate like the picture above. Also I was actually very dissapointed with the gelato...it was icey and not fresh, smooth tasting like gelato should taste...to me it just tasted like regular ice cream when it gets that icey layer from being in your home freezer. I guess I'm just spoiled having been to Italy for real Italian gelato, and really the gelato all over Europe is amazing, and luckily I have a couple places at home that do make it fresh daily. So for Palo i'll just stick with my chocolate souffle next time!
