Open since 2014, the Italian Gelataria Monalisa was born from the will of a Portuguese and an Italian who came together to recreate a typical Italian ice cream shop in the heart of Porto. With their own and exclusive handmade production, the products are imported from Italy, to produce unique flavors of fruits, nuts or even their favorite chocolates. By the way, the most sought after flavors are those that recreate bar or chocolate chocolates, such as KitKat, Ferrero Rocher or Raffaello. Basically, Monalisa sells dreams because, according to the inscription on its walls, “a dream should be synonymous with ice cream, because both complete each trace of your life with a piece of sugar.”
