Athan’s gelato
Get the scoop
BY TAMARA WIEDER
Previous Columns

Those folks at Athan’s sure don’t make it easy for the dieters among us. Not only are their pastries about the prettiest, most-delectable little works of edible art around, but their gelato makes for a sweet and refreshing indulgence, too. They make the Italian treat themselves at their " workshop " in Brighton and sell it at their charming Brookline store, in flavors like praline, nougat, tiramisu, mango, hazelnut, fig, coconut, and crème caramel. Our favorites are chocolate — as toe-curlingly rich as mousse, only colder — and pistachio, but there’s no shame in trying them all. Have dinner across the street at the Washington Square Tavern — where, smartly, dessert isn’t served — before heading to Athan’s for a little scoop of heaven — er, cielo.

Available for $1.95 for a small, $2.50 for a medium, $4 for a large, and $7.25 for a quart at Athan’s, 1621 Beacon Street, in Brookline. Call (617) 734-7028.
